depurple1 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Crossposted from another forum with permission (hope this is OK): Yesterday while out we left the box on the side of the road in Peover, near Knutsford, with a horse and my Border Terrier bitch, Jazz in it. It was left for 45 mins, in that time it was stolen, horse, dog and 8 witney rugs, 8 sweat sheets, 8 headcollars and leadropes. They dumped the horse on the main road about 5 miles away, in Goostrey, by Hermitage lane. My dog is still gone. They may have dumped her in Peover, they may have dumped her in Goostrey, or they might still have her. She is microchipped, and has a collar on with her name and my number on. We think they drove South down the M6but who knows where they are now. Could anyone in the local area or further afield please keep an eye out for Jazz. Details of horsebox: Lorry is an 8 horse Ford, silver unpainted hunting box no living. Reg Y393 KBA. White cab, no limiter on it so most probably going about 75mph. Body only built last year so quite new looking. I can't believe that people would be so heartless as to steal a box with animals in it, and then just dump the horse by a main road! Please can people keep an eye out for the dog... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranirottie Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 If I lost my dog I think the box and rugs would be the least of my worries,they are insured and can be replaced. So glad that the horse is safe and I do hope that the dog turns up safe and well and quickly. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helly Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 i know very little bout horse rugs but i guess if i was at a boot sale next week and someone was selling rugs telling me they were genuine witney rugs that kind of detail might make me twig it could be connected.

ranirottie Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 second hand/used rugs are ten a penny at any horsey sale so unless they were marked with her postcode then I would think that she would stand no chance of recovering them. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceredigion Animal Rescue Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Try going round the horse sales locally and sending photos of the dog to the auctioneers of horse sales further afield. It is not uncommon for dogs, puppies and horse boxes, tack etc to be sold at the same time. Llanybydder horse sale in Wales is held the last Thursday of every month and I know people come from as far a field as Essex to this sale. There is also Beeston which I think is in Cheshire. Best bet is to buy Horse and Hound for the sale listings. Hope the dog is recovered very soon. If the lorry was locked then these thieves were obviously very determined and must have been watching.

Trallwm farm Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) She was out hunting so I dont suppose for one minute the thieves thought there would be a dog and horse left on board Edited November 17, 2008 by Trallwm farm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
