Police are trying to find a horse and pony stolen from a field in Snargate, Romney Marsh.

It is believed that both mares were loaded into a dark brown horsebox, which was driven off following a Mitsubishi Shogun 4X4 towards Brenzett.

The theft happened at about 11pm last Tuesday.

The horse has a height of 172.hh (hands high) and the pony is 12.1hh with a white flash marking between her eyes.

Both animals had been recently rescued and have been in poor health. The horse is described as thin around her rear end.

Anyone who knows where these animals are or has information should contact PC Justin Farrow at Kent Police on 101 giving the reference number ZY/27715/13 or Kent Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
