Hi, all. I had two mini/welsh cross colts at a "friend's" farm in Murfreesboro, TN. I have the adoption papers from the rescue where I got them in Minnesota. I was never paid for these colts, and they have apparently been sold off of the farm. They are considered stolen, with info given to the Rutherford County Sheriff's Department.

I am looking for Scooter, a red roan colt, and Blue, a blue roan colt. They would be yearlings as of this past spring. I don't know how tall they would be, now. I have weanling photos of them, if anyone needs a copy.

I was told that they had been "sent for training" to a carriage company/mini farm in TN, but I can't find this place (if it even exists).

I am concerned for Scooter's and Blue's welfare. I don't necessarily need to take them away from a new home if it's a good one and the people will sign adoption papers. I just need to follow the contract that I signed when adopting them, and make sure that they are happy and healthy.

If anyone knows of two mini/welsh cross brothers that were sold by the woman mentioned in the above article from  Murfreesboro, TN--I would really appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you very much!

Sue Knipe
