What is an IDAHO Alert?
An
Idaho Alert, named for Idaho, the stolen mare whose recovery was
the beginning of SHI, is a globally-transmitted notice of a
confirmed missing/stolen horse. When a horse is
missing, time is of the essence. With the Stolen Horse
International (SHI) Idaho Alerts, (equine theft alert) you'll be able to view the
flyer, pictures of the horse, description, and key information
that may help bring him or her home.
How are IDAHO Alerts sent out?
Stolen Horse International issues IDAHO Alerts which are sent to
volunteer NetPosse members from the email address idahonc@aol.com
