Food for Thought:  If these horses had been dumped in the woods in another state where the news of their theft had not traveled, would the finders think these were abandoned horses? We keep telling everyone that not all "found horses" are abandoned as is thought more often than not in the horse communities today. This is a shining example of that fact.
