When your heart is raw and you can't decide whether you are more angry than distraught, or maybe you are just so panicked by the whole thing that you can't even think-all you really want is getting your horse back. Our volunteers understand that-just about all of them have lost a horse in some fashion. Some of them are still searching. We 'get it'. We 'feel you'.
Wanting that horse back as quickly as possible is very understandable and very emotional. They are-after all-our family in a very real sense. We are incomplete without them.
Life, however, is complicated and often very rude. It doesn't do what we want. While our methods work a statistically high percentage of the time, we cannot guarantee that any particular case will close quickly. We fervently wish that was the case. Here are some of the reasons that complicate our efforts:
There you have nine reasons-and there could be more-why you are still waiting for your horse to come home. The good news is-NetPosse never forgets. Those cases remain open. We have found and recovered horses 3-5-10-12 years after they were last seen. NetPosse does PERSIST. That's why we want you to keep persisting at sending out those ALERTS and those fliers. Somebody will see your horse and call to tell us where.
