We train them to be friendly; to come to us when we call them. But a horse that is comfortable around people is also vulnerable. If a friendly horse is in an isolated paddock and a stranger appears with a tit-bit it's all too easy to visualise the outcome - a beloved horse stolen, causing great anxiety to the owner. |

Horses can represent a significant investment and the equine world is notorious for individuals who stop at nothing to make a profit - making horse theft big business. And it's also an uncomfortable fact that people don't just steal animals to sell-on for riding; they also sell them for slaughter. |

It's not just horses that are the thieves' focus; stealing tack and equipment and specialised horse transport is also very big business. If the theft included a horsebox or trailer there is a separate section for these in our VEHICLE category. Saddlery and tack can be included here and also in our GENERAL category. |

RECORD ownership information - because time can be a major factor in recovery. If all relevant information is to hand, should the worst happen, you can react without delay. (This can also be helpful in the case of disputed ownership.) |
