"Eddy’s value is as a loved family member, not just as a horse. "

Eddy was resting in a meadow with four other horses, all tacked, resting while their riders ate lunch nearby.  When the riders returned all horses were there but one.  Numerous searches have taken place in the area and none have turned up any clues as to what happen to Eddy.  The investigation is now looking into the possibility that other 'outside' factors may be involved.
