2/23/25 FROM Fern McKnight's Facebook post: Thanks to all your prayers and well wishes, after 3 years of searching I found who bought my boy Hawkeye from the people who stole him in AZ. She has a riding stable in CA. 50 miles from Reno, NV. I'm sure she's not aware that he was stolen unless she has seen my posts. The people were very convincing because I trusted them !! 3 years ago as a retired nurse, I had two friends, almost at the same time ask me to do hospice nursing for them. No family. No money to pay me. They wanted to die at home. One was an hour and half away in AZ and the other in MS. Told them I'd have to bring my dog and I'd have to find Really good place that would care for my Hawkeye. It was a small town and the only place to board did not do full board. Mentioned it to church members. They refered me to some horse people in the church. I approached them. They offered to care for him for no money if the women could ride him since her horse was lame. I told them how he was family and best friend and would only be gone around 4 months and wanted a caring place for him. They agreed and I trusted them because they were recommended by my church members. I checked on him every weekend. And reminded them if they changed their mind my cousin and hour away would come get him and care for him. Her husband had just died or I would have had her do it. Just didn't want to put that on her at the time. When the one died in AZ a day later I traveled to MS to care for the other friend. Keeping in touch to be sure Hawkeye was still ok. When I came back and contacted these people I found they had moved and taken Hawkeye with them. I fell apart with grief. Became very sick. Then got Stress cardio myopathy. I was devastated!!! A friend in NM came packed me up and took me with. That's why this is the only pic I have with me. After alot of doctor visits and hospital stays she helped me do detective work and found they had taken him to Fallon,NV. I had already filed a stolen horse report with AZ sheriff department. Filed one with Fallon NV sheriff dept. They sent me to NV livestock agency. Took them 2 weeks to finally get out there. I had send them my bill of sale for him in 2012. Vet records. And copy of my consulors paper that he had been my support animal too. They told him they had sold him and couldn't remember to whom. Livestock agent said that would be a civil court matter and brushed me off. My friend helped me get on Facebook to see if I could find him. I also got up with the Stolen Horse International-NetPosse Missing and Stolen Equine . They were great!!! Have been posting for 2 years when I found him advertised on a Facebook page. She still called him Hawkeye and mentioned the people name who stole him. They lied to her about his age. She said he was 9. When in 2022 he would have been 14. I'm sure they lied to her about other stuff too because they lied to livestock agent. And betrayed me. I'm reaching out to this lady who has him because she's a horse person and most know how horrible it must be to have a horse family and friend after 11 years taken!!! I rescued him in 2012 from a neighbor of a patient I was doing home health with. He was starving him to get back at his abused x wife. He was 3 turning 4. When I went to pick him up I didn't tie him because he was so weak. In the 15 minute ride he went down in the trailer. Had my vet waiting at my place. I sat for 2 days and nights with hi head in my lap and covered in blankets, holding an IV until he was able to stand. We became very close after that. Inseparable for 11 years. My great vet and a year he was a new horse!!! If the lady who has my Hawkeye, who will be 17 in April, sees this and can friend it it your heart to help me get him home I will be external grateful!!! Im retired nurse on SS. Wish I had big bucks to offer you. I will give you what I have in savings and can barrow. I'll even make payments!!! If I can get my boy home !!!! I have all the paperwork on him . Stolen horse reports . Everything!!! I'l. Send them to you!!! I have friends that said they' d write a paper to you that they know Hawkeye was mine and how close we were. Please find it in your heart to help me get him home!!!!!!
