FOR YOUR INFORMATION
After the recent attacks on horses here is some advice for all horse owners There is advice below for horse owners who can also make contact with their local SNT or Crime Prevention Officer for further information." Take colour photographs of your animal in the winter and again in the summer, from both sides, head on and tail. If there is a distinctive mark or scar, take a close-up photo. Photograph the "chestnuts". You will then have a comprehensive record of your horse. Get your horse freeze-marked or have a microchip implanted. Ensure you have a passport for your horse. This is a legal requirement. If reporting a horse-related incident, please use terminology that can be easily understood. Ensure that your fences and hedges are in a good state of repair and do not provide easy access for the thief. Have a look around your premises and ask yourself if it could be made more secure. Hampshire Constabulary has an active Horse Watch scheme which provides advice on crime prevention measures http://www.nfed.co.uk/horsewatch.htm
