Flash is HOME!!!! Two suspects have been arrested with charges pending!
We are waiting on the complete story, but Debi and I have spoken to the parents, and the mom was waiting to pick up her son from ball practice to tell the great news!
Pending charges, we cannot release all the details, but the suspects were KNOWN to the victims from previous farm work. Suspects were linked to Flash's theft through other stolen property including livestock and cows! One subject has only been out of jail a short time for stealing saddles!
Flash has been to the vet - in ONE week, her shoes had been pulled and replaced, she has lost 200-300 pounds, and it's obvious that she had been ridden hard from the saddle and sweat marks. She is also somewhat sore, but otherwise, in good spirits.
Flash also has two new stablemates! For his 12th birthday, Flash's owner received two horses from his grandfather, who was just sick over his grandson's loss.
It's hard to have an ending much happier than this!
The Taylor's expressed their appreciation to the Weakley County Sheriff's office for being diligent and finding Flash, and to all the wonderful NetPosse members that offered their support, encouragement and help! Jackie says she is telling everyone she knows about NetPosse! ~ NetPosse 10/9/2006 (Pictures coming soon!)

Letter from
the owners on the return of Flash
We are having a good night tonight, NOT
anything like last Monday night. I picked our son up from ball
practice and took him to the farm. My husband told our son to go
into the barn and help him feed the horses. Our son opened up the
stall and looked at Flash, did not say anything, went around her to
her white marking on her withers and said,"You found Flash"! He led
her immediately out of the stall and him and his dad started washing
and rubbing on her. They returned back to the barn a few minutes ago
(3 hrs from the first time) and went to see her again. She seems to
be doing good, we think she knows she is home.
These two young men had stolen a horse
trailer, our horse, and cows from different farms in this area. The
owner of the cows called this morning and reported the stolen cows
and our Weakley County Sheriff's Department called area sale barns
to alert them. About 50 miles from us they took the cows in the
stolen horse trailer to the sale barn and was caught. They first
denied knowing anything about our horse, but later confessed to
stealing our horse.
Flash was nervous and did not want load
in our trailer. She was skiddest and would have probabley ran off
without being held.
One of the young men had recently been
in jail for stealing saddles. He had worked previously at a lumber
shed and delivered lumber to our farm for a new barn. He had seen
Flash at this time. He had even asked my husband for a job.
Sometime later after that he was arrested for stealing saddles. We
do not know if stealing Flash had anything to do with him being on
our farm at an earlier time.
Flash has already been taken to the vet.
They had new shoes on her and had rode her hard this
week. She probably has lost 250-300 pounds also. She has several
marks from the saddle, sweat marks and seems sore in her muscles in
her legs. But she is okay.
We were glad to hear one of the deputies
tell us that the suspects told them that she was the meanest horse
they had been around. He said he told them that was hard to believe
because she was an 11 year old boy's horse. Our son had hoped that
Flash would kick and give them a hard time (maybe his wish came true
of that).
We want to thank the Weakley County
Sheriff's Department and Millie Binkley from the Ag Crime Unit for
there long hours of searching for Flash.
We want to thank anyone for all of the
long, hard work that has been done looking for Flash. It definitely
takes alot support from people to get the word out.
Thank you Debi, Angela and Stolen Horse
International for your support and such quick response to getting
our horse on the web page. We have recommended everyone to you
and told them how concerned ya have been. The flyer and write-up
was great. We will keep you posted on the charges pending and try to
send you a new picture.
Thanks again.
The Taylor's
P.S. Please do not give up searching
for a stolen horse. Somewhere, somebody knows something and might
eventually talk.
