Thieves steal a horse stable (Lincolnshire) and almost kill a horse.



We own horses and in the winter their grass and hay staple diet needs supplementing with extra food which typically will be sugar beet based and often that feed has to be watered down as if not it would swell-up in the horse's stomach and could prove fatal.

The BBC story (link is here) about these thieves stealing a stable (or field shelter may be more accurate) also involves the thieves ignorantly feeding a horse the above type of food without watering it down - so a potentially highly dangerous thing to do and forcing the poor horse and owner into urgently having a vet attend and give remedial intervention.

I do hope that the thieves are caught.
