Excerpt from letter received at SHI June 19, 2006 - In my busy-ness of relocating and re-organizing, I have not taken the time to tell you that I do have my horse. The afternoon that she went missing, I called my Dad, who called the lady that had took her prior......well, Goldie was back on the farm the next morning.
Open land like that, my friends and family would have seen her, especially with 2 of them carrying a feed bucket and whistling/calling for her and walking down the middle of the place. It's only a 1/2 mi. wide. By all rights, they should have seen her. There isn't any place that she could hide, because all the brush has been cleared. That's why I believe with all my heart that she was stolen. Why people think that they can do that, that they can get away with it, is something I don't understand and probably never will. But, I will always be angry about it.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to at least put it out there for the whole nation to see. And it helps to vent about it, as well. And the people who have contacted me, have been gracious. So, thank you, all.
Please keep informing people that the best way to keep their horses safe is with a pair of their own eyes, or trustworthy eyes, and that a key factor in getting a horse returned is notifying the right people as fast as they can.....If Barb hadn't went to feed the horse that day, they could have had her moved to who knows where by then.....--L. Williams
