*MISSING – STOLEN*
* PLEASE SHARE – MAY LEAVE THE STATE *
Horses STOLEN last night in San Luis Obispo. This is my 16 year old beloved horse, Jack. He is extremely friendly and easy-going. He has a pick & shovel brand on his right hip & a D 20 brand on his hind (pictured.) He is a perfect bay coloring, with a single star on his forehead, & stands about 15+ hh. He may be passing through the Bakersfield (CA), New Mexico, & Arizona area. He is lame in the front left & right hind at the jog. He may be traveling with another stolen bay roan horse as well. PLEASE SHARE. If youre asked to board these horses take them in & call us. BORDER PATROL, BRAND INSPECTORS, & SHERIFFS HAVE ALL BEEN ALERTED. If you see him ANYWHERE PLEASE call me at (661) 505-2779 & Sheriffs Department, Jack is very missed!
Thank you so much for the support, no share is too far away & every one counts. Thank you so much for your continued support. Absolutely heartbroken doesn’t begin to cover it, please help us get my Jack Jack & Chewy home.
I can’t put into words how devastating this day has been, Jack was stolen between last night & early this morning from San Luis Obispo, CA. My Jack Jack is much more than just a horse, he is family.

PLEASE SHARE ** HORSE TAKEN
Our horse Chewy, a 12 year old bay roan gelding, no brands, was taken from the ranch in San Luis Obispo where we were keeping him, sometime between last night and early this morning. Chewy is our daughter’s much loved horse, and we need him back. Please SHARE to your networks. Any information about his whereabouts is appreciated.
Chewy was taken with Jack from the same pen, they may be traveling together. See Emily Brandriff’s (FB) post also. Please help us find our much loved horses.
KEEP THOSE EYES PEELED. HORRID, HORRID FLESH TRADE.

Were these horses found??
SO EXCITED I SPELLED MY OWN NAME WRONG!!! HA
THEY HAVE BEEN FOUND!!!! ALIVE!!! I DO NOT KNOW DETAILS!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought my first horse in 1961 when I was twelve. He became my younger sister’s horse when I went to college. When she lost interest, several years later, I sold him to a pony-clubber who had been taking riding lessons from me. From her he went to another girl in Pony Club who rode him until he was retired in his early twenties. This family had another retired horse and the two of them lived in a pasture with a run-in shed. One night someone cut the fence and stole the two old horses. They were never found and it is suspected they were sold for slaughter. Such a horrible and sad end for horses who had worked for and with children their entire lives. I am still devastated every time I remember Murfy.
Have been sharing this with every horse related thing I could think of the last few days since I saw the FB posts. Hitting too close to home here in SLO county, having horses all my life and a native, tearing me up knowing someone just walked in and walked out with these geldings. Ladies I sincerely wish for the safe return of your boys. I am so sorry this happened to you both. I will continue to share and repost in hopes someone sees Jack and Chewy and realizes they are stolen.
I am devastated for this family….I can’t imagine the heartbreak they are feeling. They should also post about these missing horses on Netposse.com. Get the word out there to everyone! I hope and pray they get their beloved horses back safe and sound.
I agree with Rox post. Do you have big rig trucker friends that can spread the word on their CB radios throughout southwest? Look for trailers headed to Mexico. I think once across the border, it’s too late. My heart’s breaking for you and your daughter and your beautiful horses. I pray they’re found and returned.
If the owner has not done so she needs to contact every livestock auction within a 1200 mile radius OR MORE and alert the brand inspectors, who actually WILL look for brands and descriptions. From my past experiences in Washington “the sheriff’s office” is unlikely to do much if anything to assist. I actually had a Snohomish County (Washington) sheriff deputy tell me that they are “too busy to go around looking for brands on horses”. A friend in another southwest Washington county had a beloved very elderly stallion very tame and sweet stallion stolen and it wasn’t for the flesh trade…..from later reports circulating in the area, the stallion was taken for much worse purposes related to the so-called “black arts.” The chained and padlocked wooden pasture gate had been sawed apart by the thieves to be able to take the horse. Cannot imagine the terror and agony this horse endured at the end of his very long life. The perpetrators were never caught. Unfortunately law enforcement seems to have little interest in pursuing any crime with “emotional value” attached to it. From what I’ve seen in decades with horses and involvement in rescue situations, in my opinion if it doesn’t involve big money or something belonging to a wealthy or powerful person, law enforcement acts like they are simply too busy with other things to be bothered. I would hope that in California things would be better.
