September 26, 2007, marked the 10th Anniversary of Idaho's theft, and it kicked off NetPosse.com's year-long campaign entitled "The Year of the Stolen Horse." Throughout this year, one of NetPosse's main goals is to reach the millions of horse owners that are either oblivious to the existence of horse theft or who think it cannot happen to them. Please join us in this quest.
NetPosse will continue to do everything possible to bring these horses home!
Man can live for about forty days without food, and about three days without water, about eight minutes without air ... but only for one second without hope.- -Hal Lindsey

Like many of you, we feel overwhelmed at the images in the news and the needs of people who were affected by hurricanes, tornadoes, fire and floods. We can only try to understand the losses people, animals and property have sustained when disaster strikes their home. To report your missing or found animal of a natural disaster click on the picture above. You may report dogs, cats horses etc. This is not a page for lost animals for any situation than a natural disaster.
This is a Federal Fugitive and Missing Child Case involving the owners of this horse. If we can locate the horse, U.S. Marshals might be able to locate the fugitives and find the missing child. Stolen Horse International, Inc. is working closely with the U.S. Marshals Service and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children on this case by utilizing our resources in the equine community to help. America's Most Wanted aired a segment about Mary, featuring NetPosse.com, on its TV show in Aug. 2007.
Please contact SHI or the US Marshals' office at the information provided if you have any tips or knowledge about this case.

THANK YOU NETPOSSE! - Dear Debbie and company at Net Posse ----
Once more your hard work and dedication has saved the day! I am so
glad you had the report on the four horses from Sevier County,
Tennessee and that the owner of the horses had a good friend who went
to the auction and spread the word, thus saving the horses from who
knows what grim fate. The auctioneer and local sheriff are to be
commended as well. This is how great your organization is. Now the
word is no doubt getting around to auctions as well as want-to-be horse
thieves that Net Posse is out there spreading the word and making it
real hard to get quick money by stealing horses.
Thank you so much, Debbie, and your crew, who are truly angels and
tough angels at that!!!!!------

You wake up one morning, put on you clothes
and walk out to the barn to feed your horse.
Quickly you notice the open door, the open gate and the
tire tracks. Your horse is missing. What do you do now?
Even if you have not heard of horse theft before, don't think
it doesn't happen. An estimated 40,000 horses in the US may be missing or become victims of theft in one form or another
each year. No matter what the breed or discipline of horse you
enjoy, theft can happen to you.
