Horse stolen from Ranahan Ranch—Owner pleads for his return!

LARIMER COUNTY, Thursday, August 7, 2014– Tuesday morning August 5th, a horse on West Elkhorn Avenue, was found missing from the Ranahan Ranch pasture.

Spud, a 6 year old Sorrel Quarter Horse gelding, owned by Malori Morgan, was out of town at the time the horse was stolen.

The horse, a very well loved one, was used for reining, mounted shooting and barrel racing, just to name a few of his talents.

"I’m so upset that I don’t know what to do. I just want to get my boy back," said Morgan as she was filing her Stolen Horse International stolen horse report.

Morgan and friend JT Adams are doing all they can to find Spud, a horse Morgan has had since birth. They need your help!

A report was filed with local officials, Stolen Horse International / NetPosse, the nation’s lost and found for missing and stolen horses.

Stolen Horse International, Inc. received an online report on its Web site, www.NetPosse.com, filed by Malori Morgan and, in short order, began distributing the information via their NetPosse.com Alerts (the horse community’s Amber Alert) on the Internet to hundreds of social media groups (Facebook, Twitter, Pininerest) and to thousands of people in their NetPosse Network in an effort to rally the public to help this horse owner in need.

A nonprofit organization, NetPosse, is well known for horse theft education and assistance in recovering stolen or missing horses, as well as other equine equipment. With 16 years’ experience working with victims like Morgan, the organization is the nation’s foremost authority on stolen and missing horse cases.

You will find a webpage with information and a printable flyer for Mojo on his NetPosse.com listing, which is where any updates or leads will be posted. People interested in helping can search for report number NR002326, or use this direct link on the NetPosse.com site: http://www.netposse.com/view_report.asp?reportid=2326.

"Spud’s flyer needs to be posted in all public places since it is possible that someone has seen the horse and does not know who to contact. And remember, not everyone is on the internet, especially in rural areas of the country. It is up to those who are on the internet to print the flyer and make sure these horses are seen in public places," says Stolen Horse International founder Debi Metcalfe.

Circulating Spud’s flyer and the NetPosse.com Alert nationwide is imperative, as the horse could be anywhere by now. These flyers are the tool that bring home many horses and must be posted in as many public places as possible.

"At NetPosse.com we never underestimate the power of one. If you are reading this information you are now that "one". You can make a difference. I cannot encourage you enough to act now and help Malori and Spud when they need you most.

"Print a flyer immediately and post it right away!" says Metcalfe. "You never know who will post the flyers that will bring Spud home!"

You will find the police department’s contact info, pictures, owner information, theft details and Spud’s NetPosse flyer and webpage that can be used as a quick reference point when calling in a tip. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Estes Park Police Department, Colorado Brand Inspector’s office or NetPosse.com with information.
