Please help or I am actually going to lose my mind. On Sunday night I hung up my leather headcollar outside my stable as usual. YO turned out for me at about 9pm, by which time the headcollar was no longer there. This is a new headcollar which was bought to replace the previous one which vanished without a trace less than a month ago. A week before that, the girl in the stable next to me had hers go.
1. I have asked the farmer, his wife (YO) and both other liveries as well as the men who work on the farm. No one would have had reason to move it unless it was for a loose horse or something as they all have their own and no one shares.
2. It is not really the sort of yard where people steal. There are only three of us and you would see it on someone's horse.
3. I can't imagine someone coming in off the street to steal it. It's a headcollar not a saddle. £50 in headcollars is a big deal to me but too much risk for not enough gain I should think for a thief. If you were going to come from outside to steal surely you would steal farm machinery or even an opportunist would have picked up the rugs the other livery had left out.
4. A badger or fox that likes leather? The other livery usually leaves her stuff on the floor and my horse sometimes chucks hers on the floor.
5. I have triple checked my tack room in case I put it away but no.
Any ideas? It has to be somewhere... It can't just vanish.
