๐จ Is Your Farm Truly Secure? ๐
Horse theft and missing equines happen more often than people realizeโand it only takes a moment for a lifetime partner to disappear. As proud volunteers with Stolen Horse International (NetPosse), we witness firsthand the heartbreak families face when an equine goes missing. The good news? There are powerful steps you can take today to protect your herd.
โจ Start here:
๐ธ Document Everything: Capture clear, updated photos from all anglesโdonโt forget identifying marks like scars, brands, whorls, and unique features.
๐งฌ ID Your Horse Properly: Microchip your horses and make sure registrations (brands, tattoos, papers) are current and accessible.
๐ Build a Vigilant Community: Create or join a local Equine Neighborhood Watchโextra eyes can prevent loss and speed recovery.
๐ Strengthen Farm Security: Install cameras, secure gates, and add signage to deter potential theft.
๐ Keep Records Handy: Maintain a ready-to-grab file with photos, medical records, Coggins, and ownership documentation.
๐ Know Whoโs Around: Stay aware of unfamiliar vehicles or individualsโtrust your instincts and report suspicious activity.
๐ Together, we can prevent loss and bring missing horses home. If the unthinkable happens, NetPosse is here to help.
