Police investigate missing horse

RUTHERFORDTON NC— Deputies with the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office and Animal Control Division continue to investigate the disappearance of a horse from Stepping Stone Farm in Rutherfordton on Monday morning.

Lynn Brooks, owner of the horse, said she boarded her animal at the farm while she is away in Florida.

Jennifer Spratt, owner of Stepping Stone Farm, a full-service boarding and training facility, said she had put the 20-year-old Tennessee Walking Horse out into the pasture Sunday night around 4:30 but when she went to get him at 6:45 a.m. Monday, he was nowhere to be found.

 "It's like he's pretty much disappeared into thin air," Spratt said. "He was not in the pasture and he's usually right at the gate waiting for me." 

"I've never had any kind of problem like this before and if he did get out and get away, there's no signs of it," Spratt said. "With having two dozen other horses out here, one is usually not going to take off by itself."
