Stolen Horse International, Inc., a 501(c)(3) an all volunteer run nonprofit organization, also known as NetPosse.com, was started by Harold and Debi Metcalfe in 1997 after the theft of their horse Idaho. There was no education and no place to turn for help when Idaho was stolen. It was during the 51 weeks that it took to find their horse that the Metcalfe's knew something needed to be done for the tens of thousands of victims like themselves.
Although they never envisioned where they would be decades later, their leadership, inventiveness and admirable contribution toward positive changes in the equine industry, these visionaries have filled a gap in the equine industry worldwide and are true pioneers .
Stolen Horse International is the only organization of its kind in the world which is not only know for its strong lost, found, missing and stolen horse NetPosse Alert network, but one that also focuses on education aimed at helping horse owners learn to be proactive and protect horses before the worst happens.
Spearheading all operations of the organization is founder and President Debi Metcalfe, whose passion brings education to the public in a variety of ways though Stolen Horse International’s Educational Outreach Program. Some of Metcalfe and the organizations accomplishments are listed below.
Debi Metcalfe offers seminars and clinics for horse expos, 4H, horse clubs and breed associations, etc. via Stolen Horse International's Educational Outreach Program. If you’d like Debi to speak at your next function or need more information, email Debi by clicking on the Contact Us button above.
