Ahhhh that's just up the road from me.. Trying to work out exactly where it was and who's pony it could have been.. There's been a lot going missing around here at the moment but it's even more scary if they're looking for dales types, might wrap mine up in chains and padlock them to something

I got chased by 3 quads when I was riding Jester a few weeks ago and the police were USELESS so I only hope they get their fingers out for this poor pony!!

Although I have to say, if the time frame given for her going missing is Tuesday to Thursday, that's a long time not to check on your ponies!!!!

That's shocking!! If you get the chance do report it to the BHS via their accidents/incidents website. They use the information provided to lobby for safer riding conditions and to raise awareness. You may not get anything done to sort this specific incident, but it will give more power to the BHS elbow.
