I know - I would have thought that police would have rung round all the yards to warn people but we havent heard anything and we are a big yard - heard nothing from the bridleways lot either - x

As far as i know, everyone has been caused unnecessary panic regarding these 'horse thefts'. My yard owner contacted the police yesterday and were told there has been no reports of stolen horses in this area (Keighley area). The police rang back today to confirm this, none have gone from Broomhill or Oakworth, as it was stated on those texts we all received. I cant understand where these messages came from, just a case of chinese whispers i guess. Anyway, if one good thing has come out of this, we'll all be extra vigilant in terms of security which can never be a bad thing?!

I agree LuLu, I phoned the police today, as you know, and the last report of a horse been stolen was 2weeks ago and from the Bradford South area, as I mentioned earlier, and we have since found out it was taken from Clayton.
I still think these latest textes have stemmed from the Derby Horse Watch Text, but panic aside, I do still think we need to be more vigilant as you said, especially in this day and age, but where our horses/ponies are, if you so much as breath out of place everyone knows this.
Lets just hope it is all chinese whispers, but its certainly looking the case for this area anyway, just hope it stays that way.

Hello guys i am new on here as was just doing a search on the thefts ??? We are in oxenhope and posters have appeared everywhere but no vehicle details. none of the local riders have definate knowledge of what is going on but a friend of our yard owner text and said her tack had been stolen and someone had attempted to take her horse on sat night ( i think it was sat but nt 100%) this is a bit scary. does anyone know anything more I agree with all the comments we should all pull together and keep an eye out reporting damaged fencing etc just in case . we all know our local horses and i would hope someone would let me know what is going on if anything is suspicious !! I would hate to see what i would do to a potential intruder
we should maybe set up a local horse watch , i know i dont have much spare time bu would be willing to do anything to keep or horses and stuff safe

Nothing was stolen in Keighley or surrounding area apart from some tack. Could've been anyone doing that. IMO it has nothing to do with 'Eastern Europeans'.
