Recovered Horses:
WI & MI

Kenosha, WI, Horses Found
April 2002

Paper reported they found the miniature horse and the
pony in KY at a sales barn.  Fortunately, the owner of the sales barn had
seen/heard the notices that they horse were stolen, and called the owners.
Also, luckily, he has the license plate number of the person he bought them from
and they're hoping they can track the thief down and prosecute.
Unfortunately, they haven't found the goat yet and the pony is pining for him.
The horses seem to be in good shape.

MI Horse, Lance Recovered after 17 days!

Lance was recovered still wearing his saddle!

In his owner's words:

He is beat up and lost a great deal of weight, he wandered up to a local house
today around 4pm.  It really does appear to me that he was in the woods during
that time.  As amazing as that is...that no one had seen him.  He was extremely
frightened and shy and wouldn't even come to me until after a good deal of
coaxing, like he was in shock...so I guess it is possible that he thwarted any
rescue attempts by fleeing whenever anyone got close ... or maybe more likely he
was stuck someplace where nobody could see ...or....who knows where he was...we
probably will never know.


He wandered past a young girl's house who called her neighbor who then got one
of his horses to lead lance into the pasture.  He still had his saddle on upside
down and underneath his lower back but had broken free from his bridle and has
some pretty nasty flesh wounds on his lips. 


He loaded up onto the trailer with no problems....like a pro!  And when he got
home he got a spring in his step, he was very happy to be home....and with no
time at all he was back to his old self .... begging for lovins and treats
hanging his head out of his stall...posing for the cameras and directing the (at
one point) 5 pairs of hands to scratch him in his favorite spots. 


A vet came out, but there are still some things I'm concerned about....his chest
is swollen, he has nasty wounds on his lips and he was running a bit of a
temp....so his normal vet is coming out tomorrow too....


There will be a big appreciation party at the barn for everyone who helped with
the search and cared.  It should be on the 25th....details to come later...


Will write more later.....thank you so much for everyone's concern and
caring!!!!!


Peggy
