Whoa. That's scary.

Yup, there is an auction yard in my hometown. First thing you do upon losing your horses to theft, get your butt to that auction yard and have a look around. Drug users are stealing anything that isn't tied down hard. Anything to pay for the next fix.

This is a good reason to microchip all of your horses, and keep your ownership papers in a safe place so that if the need arises, you are ready to go.
