Monday June 13, 2016, Tyree Kossie’s beloved horse, Hickory Bae aka Dash, was reported from her stall along with a trailer and several other items.

Tyree Kossie asked Stolen Horse International for assistance in locating his horse. Mr. Kossie advised that Hickory Bae when he arrived at the barn on June 13, 2016 he saw that his horse was removed from her stall and the rope that he used to tie her gate with was also missing. Mr. Kossie have also notified Fort Bend County Sheriff Department of the stolen equine and they are actively searching for Dash. The trailer and other items have been recovered.

My 4 year old daughter asks about Dash every day.” Mr. Kossie explained that his daughter had just rode Dash the day before she was stolen and it gets harder for them each day when she asks about Dash and when she is coming home. Mr. Kossie reports that crime stoppers is offering a reward if the individual(s) responsible for Dash’s theft are convicted of the charges.
