12/11/20 - IMPORTANT UPDATE
We can now confirm that these horse thieves were hitting other farms; meaning the second horse was also a recently stolen horse. The second horse that was found, has been CLAIMED by owners. He was found with the missing paint that we originally issued a BOLO for, on December 8th. This chestnut gelding was stolen on November 23, 2020. If you have a stolen or missing horse, it's crucial that you report it to local law enforcement IMMEDIATELY! Miami Dade County, always be on alert. Today we have two happy endings, but to often that is not the case. As horse theft and slaughter is on the rise, and on the rise in other areas of the state, we must be vigilant to protect our beloved pets!
