Three electric fence generators were stolen on Tuesday the 1st or Wednesday the 2nd between 7.30pm and 8.00am.

One of these generators was used to keep a seriously injured horse on restricted turnout. Without a generator, it isn't safe to turn her out. It was quite obvious that the pen was a restriction pen...

One of the generators is temperamental at best and doesn't often work. One has some dodgey wiring and gives electric shocks when handled.

They are a small, green Fenceman generator with four D batteries in it, a 250 Fenceman with two 6V batteries and a yellow box which was connected to a car battery which they left behind.

Surrey Police are aware and looking for them. I am aware of some second hand tack sales coming up so can people please be vigilant. Like I said, one was being used to keep a injured horse on restricted turnout and without the generator she cannot go out in the field at all.

On 26/10 we had all our tack stolen from a yard in Knaphill near you in West End, two nights earlier we had a lorry pinched, its about time we worked out some way of protecting our property from these people, if anyone has any ideas post them.

CCTV - even the fake ones does help. Could be worth having the police check your yard to see how secure it is. Enlist your neighbours support - ask them to call you if they see anything unusual. Challenge strangers wandering around (seriously, when dropping off flyers a while ago, not one yard challenged me when I was wandering around trying to find someone - and we are talking in the middle of a day). Mark EVERYTHING with paint (oil not water based) and have large signs saying all equipment/tack/horses are marked and photographed. Could maybe have dummy signs warning that certain areas are "live" and will electrocute?

We have CCTV on the yard, they've jumped a back fence and stayed in the field. I know where they've come through cos they've stepped on a molehill.

Has all this activity been reported? I have the local PCSO on the case and he's been incredaby helpful. There's a group called CountryWatch which email out any suspicious activity once a week, we're joining it and I would advise anyone else too!

Just found this and it'll be awesome!
