Subject: RC: horse thieves
Just a post to remind everyone, that
horse thieves are out there, looking for horses to steel. Last night
someone tried to steal ours. They drove by several times between
10:30-11:00pm (neighbor saw the truck and trailer), parked down the road,
walked down the road, cut the fence and got one horse. Luckily , the horse,
which is my father-in-laws, is very attached to "dad" and wouldn't load
for them. He then got away and hid at my barn/back yard. Luckily we have
a large yard light, and had shut mine in the barn for the night. They
also cut the fence rather than lead the horse down to a gate, and just put a
rope around his neck to lead him. Thank god it worked out for us.... but it is
a good reminder to deter these thieves any, and every way you can. I
live on a fairly busy 2 lane rd, and they were brazen enough to walk
down the side of the road, past my house to do this. Thanks for reading,
