Horses Stolen!

[LauraM]

Just received this email yesterday:

Friends -



Kirby and Clare Hill in Fort Valley, VA (near Front Royal) had their riding horses stolen out of their pasture while they were at work on April 17th. I've created a page on my website with pictures and descriptions of markings to help spread the word: http://www.autumnhillfarm.com/FtValleyStolenHorses.html



For those of us in the area, this could be US. WE could come home from work to find out best friend/partner had been taken out of our field. Kirby and Clare are living our nightmares.

Please send this link to your vet and to your farrier. Send it to all your horsey friends, regardless of discipline. If you are into social-networking...facebook this. Tweet this. These wonderful mares are someone's competition partner and best friend. They can only be found if the word gets out.



Many, many thanks,

Kate Palmquist

These horses could be anywhere in North America by now, so please everyone keep an eye out for them!

Good luck to them - they are beautiful horses and I'm sorry to hear they were taken.

I will pass on the word!

Prayers sent that the two mares will be recovered. I sent the link to my Vet--she is in her 2nd career and is a retired Chicago policewoman. I know she'll be on the lookout, and will know who else to send the link to in our area.

Thanks, everyone!

I've passed the info on to all the horse people I know. Hopefully, they will be recovered soon!

DH (atty) suggested that the theif (ves) might be someone who just wanted those particular horses to keep, instead of sell or (I hate to suggest it) sell for meat. As we know owning the papers increase the value of geldings, as well as mares and stallions. Without the papers, these two mares won't bring much on today's market. I hope that this can help, because my heart breaks for this couple.

Just an update, they are still looking for these horses.
