(This post is on behalf of my friend)
Chance was stolen from his stable between 6pm Saturday and 8am Sunday (22nd Oct). Possibly between 7pm and 8.30pm as a horsebox was seen outside the main gates to the yard (they came in through the side gate in the field.
He is approx 10 months old and 13hh(ish). We think his owner (who was being done for cruelty) found out where he was and decided to take him back. As he is a gypsy horse he could be anywhere by now.
If you could keep your eyes out and let me know of any local sales/acutions coming up near you I would be really grateful.
Chance's story:
A PONY seized by police after suspected ill-treatment has now gone missing from its new home.
Piebald 'Chance' was discovered running up and down Tadley High Street in a distressed state on August 22.
The pony, thought to be aged between 10 months and a year, required immediate veterinary attention and police suspected it had been ill-treated.
Hampshire Constabulary seized the pony under the Protection of Animals Act.
But just two months after the pony was rescued by police, it was stolen from a farm in Tadley.
Police are appealing for witnesses to the theft, which is thought to have happened between 5.30pm and 5.45pm on Sunday (October 22).
Pc Amie Padfield said: These tragic events have shocked people within the horse community and I am appealing to members of the public for their assistance.
The pony was given the nick-name Chance by staff at the farm in Tadley where it was taken by police. Unfortunately horse and pony thefts do occur but Hampshire Constabulary deal robustly with all incidents.
She added: It is possible that someone has seen him or knows who may have taken him. I am appealing for anyone who has any information that may help us find Chance to get in touch.
If you have any information, send me a message and I can pass the information on or give you details for the Police Officer in charge.
