I have received a message about possible planned theft of horses. reads:-
"There have been 3 sightings of 2 suspicious men with eastern accents photographing local horses [Western-super-Mare area]. This could be a steal to order gang. The men have been seen at shows, events and even inside horse owners fields taking pictures. They have been seen in a white van reg no N253 XAJ and a red land cruiser. Police are treating this as suspicious and request that you contact them directly and urgently if you see anything."
Please pass this message on to anyone and be very, very, vigilant!

I have had this text, and I have seen it on other forums, but in different areas. But I not a joke and the police are taking it very seriously.
We all have to be cautious especially with Appleby in June

I think "horse minded" people and friends have been forwarding on a text message to each other. I know it was a very good horsey friend who sent me my text. If you read the original post norahsnek then you can read the text message in full.

Two TB's stolen from their stables at South Brent in Devon last night OH GOD THAT IS REALLT CLOSE TO US! Panic over they've been found. It looks like someone let them out, as they were both in stables. Very unlikely that one got out and then let the other one out
