MISSING EQUINE, – SPANKY – MISSISSIPPI

Wesson (LINCOLN COUNTY), MS Saturday July 30, 2016

Friday, July 29, 2016, Kimberly Standard’s beloved therapy horse was reported missing and from his pasture.

Kimberly Standard asked Stolen Horse International for assistance in locating her horse. Ms. Standard advised that Spanky was last seen the evening of Thursday, July 28, 2016. Spanky was purchased as a therapy horse to help her to cope with the passing of her Dad in 2015. Ms. Standard has notified Lincoln County Sheriff Department of the missing equine.

Stolen Horse International, a nonprofit organization also known as NetPosse.com, is well known as the “lost and found’ place for horses on the internet for the equine industry. NetPosse.com offers horse theft and equine ID education and assist in search and recovery of stolen or missing horses, as well as other equine equipment.

“We just bought Spanky home on Thursday.”, says Kimberly Standard. “He was suppose to be my therapy horse, to help me cope with my dad’s passing back in 2015.” Spanky was kept in a fenced in pasture along with their other horses. The remaining horses are still in the pasture. Ms. Standard explained that their friends, family and neighbors are assisting with the search. They believe that he got out over a low part of the fence that was partially down on the stake in the back corner of the pasture. We found his tracks heading north from the current property we are on. There is nearly 400 acres that he could be on. She reports that they have contacted the police.

On July 29, 2016, Stolen Horse International, Inc. received the first online report on its web site, www.NetPosse.com, filed by Standard and, in short order, began distributing the information via their NetPosse Alert (the horse community’s Amber Alert) on the Internet to hundreds of social media groups and private email contacts in an effort to rally the public to help the family.

You will find Spanky’s webpage with information and a printable flyer in her NetPosse.com listing, which is where any updates or leads will be posted. People interested in helping can search for report number NR005000 or use this direct link on the NetPosse.com site: http://www.netposse.com/view_report.asp?reportid=5000

“Circulating Spanky’s flyer and the NetPosse.com Alert nationwide is imperative, as the horse could be anywhere by now. These flyers are one tool that brings home many horses and must be posted in as many public places as possible,” says Debi Metcalfe, founder of Stolen Horse International. “And remember, not everyone has internet access. Please post Spanky’s flyer in public places as well.”

Pictures, flyer, contact information, updates and other information are on the NetPosse webpage to identify this case quickly when calling in a tip. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Kimberly Standard, Lincoln County Sheriff Department or Stolen Horse International with information.
