Awareness
Take vehicle registration numbers of towing vehicles of trailers moving around late at night as the trailer may be stolen. If you are suspicious, report it immediately to the police. Be aware of trailers and horse type lorries parked in unusual circumstances. Keep a camera in your car. If you visit an auction and see a horse tied to a lorry that is not destined for the ring, record the lorry or trailer details. Do not compromise yourself. Alert the auctioneer if you ar suspicious of any horse presented for sale. Take note of freezebranded horses. Always keep the auction programme if you are concerned about a horse and make a record of the lot number. Check the Stolen Horse Register before you go to purchase a horse.
