Stretton, nr Warrington Cheshire

[native]

Stolen. 8 year old 16.1hh dark bay gelding stolen from a field last night in Stretton near Warrington in Cheshire. He was stolen along with another 16.1hh bay mare with white blaze.

Both horses were recovering from injury and are still lame but were being turned out for a year. The mare is also arthritic.

If you see or hear of them, please let me know and I'll pass it along.

Does anyone know anything about this:

It says the police reported that horses were stolen from runcorn and surrounding area. I live in Runcorn(don't keep my ponies here) but have heard nothing of this in the newspapers or anything.....it has worried me a little as old friends have horses here but as it's not on the register or reported anywhere else, should I be worried?

Definitely not a hoax unfortunately, but they have been found! 3 miles away, in a field.

It looks as though someone stole them, loaded them, or attempted to load them, found they are lame and just dumped them!!

If they have been dumped by their field then to get 3 miles away, they crossed a motorway junction, travelled down the A49, then turned right, across it! So, it looks more likely that they were boxed and then dumped!

Both horses are fine! They are still in their new found field, and are quite enjoying their new scenery! They will return home tomorrow!

Good news for once.

So pleased they were found. We used to be on a yard around there and there have been all sorts of strange goings on.
