Stolen horse, marked with orange paint..

[DipseyDeb]

I've been told this morning to be on the lookout as a horse was stolen from near to where I am, the horse had been marked with luminous orange paint, then went missing in the night....has anyone else heard of this being done. My yard owner has ben advised that they are stealing to order and taking photos first!!!

Where in the country are you?

My vet had a quiet word with me this morning and said there are a lot of horses going missing down where he is based, and to be vigilent. He thinks its *sigh* appleby....were in the northwest- cheshire/ lancs so on the way up there and close to lots of motorways.

Personally i think there is alot of hysteria at the moment, im not saying its unfounded, just that instead of panicing maybe buy a padlock, or cctv pretendy camera.....panicing on its own does noone any good at all.

Sadly glow in the dark paint and pictures makes an awful lot more sense to me if you are going to steal a horse, than 'plaiting' a mane ever did though.

Keep calm and carry on xx
