I cannot express how happy and thankful I am to have my boys returned.
I want to thank everyone for all their prayers and concerns. I think Alan is right, I think seeing and hearing about the thief caused them to get scared and return the horses.
Only by the grace of God did someone go into the barn on Saturday and hear them. They would not have lasted much longer in there without water.
Again, thank you for everything and I hope your service helps others to locate their animals. Losing them just gives a person such a sick feeling. But the joy of finding them is over whelming.

These horses were located in poor health last night. They were both dehydrated and one possibly has a broken leg. We do not have any leads as of yet as to who took them.

They were found locked up in the barn in the pasture they stay in after missing 10 days (the barn was checked when they were missing and a neighbor even checked it again last Wednesday looking for signs of what could have happened to them). We are guessing that the publicity about the theft scared the person into returning them, although it is unknown why they locked them in the barn. The temperatures have been in the 80s and 90s the past week, the vet said they only could have lasted a few days in the barn (without water). Both of them were so weak they could barely stand and have abcesses in their feet. They were really only found by pure luck. Both of them were doing much better yesterday afternoon and if the abcesses heal a full recovery is possible.
