Texas tack store owner helps catch a thief

Equilinearticlepicture.jpgTEXAS September 2013 - Trying to unload stolen horse tack at Equi-line in Falcon is not a good idea. On Aug. 20, employee Tami Davis assisted in the arrest of criminals who were trying to sell stolen saddles.

Davis said the owner of the stolen saddles had called the store with a description of the saddles. A few hours later, a young man came in, asking Davis to appraise three saddles. She noticed the high quality of the first two saddles, and the third had a silver Pikes Peak Range Riders Latigo Keeper (a piece of leather attached to the saddle to keep the excess latigo – or leather strap – from getting in the way of the horse). She recognized the latter saddle from the description of one of the stolen saddles. As she closely examined the other saddles, she recognized those, too, as ones the owner had reported missing that morning.

Watson-Cone said this wasn’t the first time the store has assisted in the recovery of stolen tack.  About three months ago, another man called in to report his custom saddle had been stolen. He asked the store to be on the lookout for it. Later that day, another alleged thief brought the man’s saddle into the store. Case solved!
