Re: [RC] OT-finding dead horse - steelsidedown

Is it possible to return to the area and take pictures?  I know its gruesome, 
but the best way to identify.  Not knowing what state the animal is in, here 
are some suggestions: tack, white markings, teeth, wounds, old wounds, splints, 
hooves, shoes, anything unique to this horse. Also take note of anything around 
the body, scavengers will drag items away.

And I'd cut a loc of tail, in hopes the owner is found, to give it to him/her.  

Netposse is a good place to send info, as well us, nothing works faster than 
the "tell everyone you know" method!

Subject: [RC]   OT-finding dead horse

I've been riding in a pretty rugged area lately and last Thursday found a 
dead horse.  I'm sure I'm not the only one that this has happened to.  What 
would you RC'ers do in that situation? I did call a couple of "horsey" 
friends in that area, but they didn't seem to know any reports of lost 
horses.  My husband says to just say nothing because "nobody wants to know 
that their horse was found dead".  I disagree.  I would certainly want to 
know what happened to my horse if this every happened to me.
