Duke, a 26-yr-old, TWH gelding, went missing during the end of the storm yesterday from Whispering Pines Trail in Windsor VA. A quick update on Duke ! We are still looking for my big gentle Giant. We are in day 3 now and still no Duke. We had some friends show up last night with their 4 Wheeler and did some looking and are coming back today to look some more. With his new pasture pal returning makes me even more convinced he has been stolen. We adopted Captain Morgan who disappeared with Duke about 2.5 weeks ago and he has not been anywhere out side this property till Tuesday this week, Duke has lived here 22 years and has been on every trail every path every road around here on rides, so he knows his way home! So again while we are out searching, I'm pleading with everyone to contact everyone you know to please share & post to every animal control, to every sheriff, if you can use the posting that IOW SHERIFF POSTED to their FB page, to every horse auction places to every TV station every radio station every where you can post his picture. He's been my best friend, my biggest four legged fur baby, my emotional support, my always been there shoulder to cry on my confidant, he's been my fur baby for 23 years, and I miss him terribly 😭 I fought cancer and won ! But this, I don't know how I'm going to deal with this if I don't get him back home. I'm having difficulty today, not seeing him in the pasture and knowing he's not here. Please everyone post the heck out of this all across the states to reach every horse sale, he has to be found. And my most fear is he ends up at a slaughter house somewhere. He could be in another state by now & heading to a auction. He is microchipped so any vets at these auctions I hope scan for that. His registered name to the microchip is "Right Handy" . Please everyone post and share EVERY WHERE PLEASE. Pray he comes home.

I believe it is possible that someone could have taken Duke because there were tire marks out side my gate with hoof prints there and no where else. There was a turtle that was ran over next to the tire marks in the grass. Is that evidence of possible wrong doing? No fences were down and the tire marks are just 20 feet from the gate. Tire marks and hoof prints that end right there.
