ARRIUS HAS BEEN FOUND !!!

QUOTE - HE'S BEEN FOUND!!!!!!
So so happy I can barely type this message for tears!
He was found by a farmer in a field and mum is with him now waiting for the vets to come and give him fluids as he's dehydrated, but other than that there's not a mark on him.
On behalf of myself, Ellen, Kaylee, Roger & Lyn (& of course Arrius) we want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for all your help.
WE HAVE OUR BOY BACK!!

At last a horse who is stolen that has been freezemarked, it makes a refreshing change! The owner stands a 97% per cent chance of getting her horse back,and hey ho thats what has happened in this case, it was found dumped in a field. Now I am wondering if it was wearing a rug and the thief didn't realise it was marked in this way, and when he found it was he dumped it.

PLEASE LEARN FROM THIS AND GET YOUR HORSES FREEZEMARKED. WOULD THIS HORSE EVER HAVE BEEN RECOVERED IF IT DIDN'T HAVE A FREEZEMARK? I doubt if very much.

Fantastic, what a relief for everyone including the poor horse who must have been wondering where his next drink was coming from. How far away was he been found? Sorry if the answers are on FB but I don't do that!

Yes, Arrius would have been found even if he wasn't freezemarked

QUOTE from facebook -

His story: We think he did get in with the horses next door and they chased him through a bramble hedge and a wire fence and into a deep ditch. The other side of the ditch is stock fenced and has a thick bramble hedge too so he has been trapped the ditch for 2 WEEKS! There was no water either! Because of the hedge he couldn't be seen and we didn't know the ditch was there and believe me we have checked those fields several times! This morning the farmer that owns the field put some cattle in it and then went to check them this afternoon and noticed that a large length of the hedge was missing, Arrius had eaten it! He moved the cattle immediately and came to get us. We managed to put a headcollar on him and then cut the fence, Arrius just calmly jumped up the bank! and started eating the grass. We gave him a small drink and then he marched me up the road home!!! The vet could find nothing at all wrong with him apart from quite a loss of weight, he is slightly stiff but that's it!

Looks like the freeze mark had no bearing at all.
Very happy his owners have him back.

Im a so glad for the horse on this occassion, but still think people should have their horses freezemarked, it bears a huge difference on whether they are recovered or not.
