I forgot to leave my thoughts at the end! I personally think the horses were being watched by the sketchy guy down the road, who tipped thieves off to the horses (that currently had an order to steal), they came, took the horses, realized the three others were branded and drove them far away before dumping them. They later sold Ballymoss at that auction and the new owners realized after purchasing him that he was stollen but they never wanted to give him back and lose the money they'd spent on him. Comment what you think happened to Balllymoss, I'd love to know!

[@tauma_the_goat7156]

I agree, correct me if i’m wrong but did the auction sighting happen quite long after he was stolen? Perhaps they were hoping the searching would die down, maybe he pulled up lame etc. it’s just very interesting. Also what possibly could they want him for? Like you couldn’t breed him, i’m not sure how well he did showing wise and even then surely he would be noticed by people who would eventually flag it up to the family. Also as for the order to steal who would steal an old pony? Or 4 horses? it’s all very bizarre but certainly frustrating and very sad..

At a barn I ride at there was a gray horse that they bought and that horse was actually stolen and one day at a show they posted a picture of that horse on Facebook as some people do when your horse does well in a show and the original owner of that horse reached out to the barn and the barn have her her horse back so now she has her horse that had been stolen 2-3 years ago back! Also the barn had no idea this horse was stolen! We were all SO happy that the got reunited and it had a happy ending!

This makes me so sad. The family clearly loved and cared about their horse way more than people usually do. It makes me so mad that the one person who knew about the horse refused to give out any information. It's not even only about the horse, it's about the family getting traumatized and having their life torn apart. This is something that will affect Debbie and her parents for the rest of their lives.

Oh my gosh! My grandma had a horse that looked exactly like that! He died in the year 2000, but the photos of him look spot on to Ballymoss! His name was Cedryk, I really hope it was him, because if it was, he lived a good darn life. My grandma did not know he was stolen, she got him when she was a kid at an auction.

[@Barrels4life937]

Please ask your grandma if she had moved with Cedryk! This sounds about the timeline with him dying, the auction, even if he did go lame a lot that’s something else to note!

[@Belle_horses_4_ever]

I hope that is Ballymoss who your thinking about

[@MidgeBo-gj4fn]

If he got lame and he had markings on his legs from racing or look at all the tiny markings on Cedryk and Ballymoss cause no horse had the EXACT same marking, and how old Cedryk was when your grandma bought him.

[@mochimacaroon400]

This is the only reason I agree with branding, Freeze handing or tattooing to be exact. It can save your horse when it comes to things like this, no one wants a stolen branded horse. I've had people scope my horses and I'm pretty sure the only reason they didn't steal them is because my grandpa came out with a gun and used his military voice on them.

[@sgiiprizz7510]

What if the thieves brand over the branding if that even make sense ...😂

[@mochimacaroon400]

@@sgiiprizz7510 That isn't uncommon and sadly can lead to hiccups. But depending on when and how the horse was branded, you can see a visual difference between the brandings. This is why a lot of brands are fairly complex or are on multiple areas of the horse. There have been rebranded horses that have been found by brandings because the original brand was hard to cover up and a trained eye pick it out. I'm not saying to make a brand so complex your horse has to take longer to heal, I'm just saying don't slap you initials inside a heart xD give it something to stand out. Another pro tip is to double brand. By that I mean to get a tattoo and a freeze brand. Usually the horses registration and brand tattooed on the lip and a freeze brand on the body helps. Double the work for anyone trying to nab your horse. But I wouldn't recommend all in one go, give your horse time to fully heal between brandings. Over all, branding makes the horse 10× more work for anyone to steal. The more work that needs to be done = More time they can get cought and lower profit margins.

[@mochimacaroon400]

@@sgiiprizz7510 Also Never. Ever. Burnbrand. Not only does it have a high infection risk and take forEVER to heal, it also fades pretty quickly and can be easily covered up even by the horses own coat.

[@shalakruep]

They do microchip horses too.

[@solangedeschatres4004]

Agree. The best bet is a freeze brand and a microchip. Some horses don’t feel freeze branding at all and if there is any pain, it is short term. Compare that to suffering at the hands of unscrupulous thieves.

[@smol_lucifer]

Edit; I love mystery stories... so this be nice to watch There's a story in German which is quite sad. A woman wanted to find for her retired horse a place where he can live his best life as retired horse with some other retired horses and geaze all day and be happy. She found a place that was saying they're like a retirement home for horses. She went over there, everything looked fine and stuff. The owner of that barn then asked her to sign a paper to sell the horse to her for 1€ , the owner of the establishment said it's only to make it easier should anything happen. The owner of the horse signed it and brought her horse there. For a couple of days she'd get pictures of her horse daily and it all seemed fine until all the messages stopped and calls were left unanswered. The owner then drove to the barn and saw that her horse was nowhere to be found. She tried to talk to the owner of the barn who rudely told her to go away. She did leave and found another woman who had the same happen to her horse. Till this day both women are seeking their horses eventho a man who picks up horses and drives them to slaughter said he knows that barn and they did sell them horses to slaughter - eventho on the papers of the retired horse it said clearly that horse mustn't be send to slaughter... Nobody knows where the horses are and more victims are reaching out about that. But nothing can be done because... well.. the barn owner always makes those people sign a Purchase contract and thus the ownership falls on the barn owner. These barn owners buy retired horses for 1€ and sell them to slaughters from anywhere from approx. 200€ - 300€ or more perhaps The owner of the reitred horse and the other woman I mentioned above did make I think a few documentations about the case to spread awareness, they even spread fliers for everyone to not only be warned but to hopefully give information about what happened to the horses or where they are, I think with evidences they would've been able to sue those owners of the barn for fraud - but there is no evidence as sad as it is right now.

[@Jill_P]

Signing an agreement that gives up your rights as an owner, for 1€ no less, to a retirement boarding facility you are totally new to, in case "something happens?" Wow! That is one massive, NEON RED flag! ⛔ Even if these horses were miraculously found alive, determining ownership after signing such a document could prove to be an insurmountable task. Horses are only as safe as their owners are educated and have common sense. This is in no way to criticize the victims... It is incredibly sad, for both the owners and horses, that they fell prey to a scam.

[@smol_lucifer]

@@Jill_P Honestly I wouldn't sign it becuase it is a clear red flag. But I think they just fell for the positive and kind facade the owner of the barn had put up. I don't know what went through these owners minds as they brought their horses there and signed that since it is a very weird thing to be made to sign a contract which bascially means the horse aint your anymore But I think at this point the owners only want to know what happened to those horses to be able to find closure.

[@taynadelmar8608]

If you want a retirement place for your horse you pay for it, you don't sell the horse, not even for 1 Euro.

I’ve had personal dealings with someone thinking my horse was their stolen horse and it was ugly too. The barn I was at our tack room was broken into 3 times and tack stolen. Now we figured out the tack was ordered to be stolen, about 3 years later saw at a used tack sale saw some of the tack. All the tack stolen was what all the 4-H kids were using, how did we come to this conclusion. Because the thief’s left all the high end Dressage tack, they took the tack of our 3 boarding 4-H people. I turned my car to a tack box on wheels. Now about someone thinking my horse was their stolen horse, that was a nightmare. The people who had the horse stolen, it was a 13 hand Paint Pony. My horse was a 15.3 hand Paint Horse, with papers. But here the thing that pony looked almost just like my horse. I had to deal with this crazy Dad who didn’t know the difference of horse to pony, just his kid that said there’s my horse. The farm the pony was at was just across the road from the big Horse Farm boarding I was at. Raleigh if you want the whole story of my ordeal contact, this was the nutshell version lol.

[@Starry_Night_Sky7455]

I forgot that tack theft is actually a real problem. Im kinda like, ha, what a silly thief! If you are going to steal tack why skip leaving the nice dressage saddles? Odd thief. I think you can microchip saddles now. As for someone claiming your horse is their horse, spring a record trail of all proof that this horse is yours. I guess if a horse was bought from someone that stole him, its possible another person rightfully bought a stolen horse. I have not a clue about the legal insanity that entails.

Of course, an obvious exception to the "don't get your kid a pony" rule would be if the kid loves horses and has dwarfism, because those with dwarfism ("little people", of which a famous example is Peter Dinklage, the small Game of Thrones actor) never grow very tall and thus will not outgrow the pony. And such people usually have short legs too, so a pony would be easier to get on.

I don’t own horses but I live in a heavily farm centered town, and do have family who own horses. Am I likely ever going to own a horse? I’m not sure. But I do want to remain educated and continue to be educated on the matter and Raleigh Link? Has always been one of my go to, especially on topics that need to be discussed and called out. 👏 👏 👏

My horses were stolen off of our property which is next to the reservation by the way and they were stolen for 2 weeks they weren't fed we got them all back and now one of them is terrified of people and one of them had a broken ankle because our horses got out of their pen and these two ladies came and crowd them and picked them up I'm 11 and they took my horses I thought that I would never see them again but someone picked them up for us and brought them to their house and we went and pick them up and just seeing my Little Pony with her ankle and not the right place I cried and I cried and we caught them loaded up and we're bringing them home so no one will ever steal them again and we are branding them just with a shaver like we're going to shave our brand into them so people know that there ar

Bro this makes me so paranoid for my boys, especially Hank. Hes a Handcock bred horse (both parents were of the Handcock bloodline) and then others who would be very expensive horses if we had their papers. Our 6yo, Cash has papers, but the guy who has his dad (who is apparently famous idk he wouldnt tell us more) but the people who bought his mom got her from a kill pen and then we bought him the week she foaled him. (Sorry if it sounds confusing I'm really bad at English) we would be worth like $25k AT LEAST because of his color and stuff and his papers, mom said the dude would only sell Cashes papers to us for literally $1,000,000. It felt wrong but ig makes sense with how Cash is even as a green baby. Im not gonna continue with our others but yeah. Im insalling security cameras everywhere now. I cant have my babies be stollen.

[@xlmfao9369]

Ever heard of youtuber Ricegum? Yeah.. you should create your own content instead of stealing his "You must be stopped" series.. 🥱

[@Trainfor_Golden]

She doesn't do a "You must be stopped" series she speaks against the abuse of horses and animals..

[@Johannaelvira01]

I love this kind of stories. When I was a kid I got a paper every month that was all about horses (for all the swedes, it was Min häst). It had comics and I remember one time thre was a comic about a girl buying a horse and was told that it was sold because the owner became afraid of riding (from riding another horse). Later the girl was at a competition with the hors and another girl confronted her saying it was her stolen horse. In the end they confronted those who stole the horse and they other horses that they had were returned to their rightful owner. the original owner did not want their horse back because they had a new horse. Tho they stayed in touch.

Early! Actually im here after the first 1 minute of it getting posted!!

1980s famous race horses where kidnapped and was big news in UK. All sad but never forgotten in UK.

[@ZenakeMoonshine]

thank you lmfao

[@bella-gc2mk]

Wasn’t it a little strange how 2 years after Ballymoss was stolen, Shergar was stolen? Gives you something to think about…

[@lerandommew438]

I know this is 2 years late a response but i'm just now watching the Series. I personally am SO MAD at the woman who called at the end. Like ok, so you didn't call to actually help, you just called to rub salt in the wound. And even more it's so selfish what she did, because i bet you that her knowing it was a stolen horse was sitting on her conscious for a while. So she only called to make herself feel better and did so in a way that the spotlight wouldn't go over her. She didn't call to help the family, or to help the horse. The only person that that call helped, was herself, and it just makes me so mad.

[@JoshuaPattison2]

I only knew Ballymoss through the colossal british diesel locomotive. I most certainly did NOT know it's namesake had such a sad fate. Condolences.

[@chronischgeheilt]

Can we please bring this series back? Also, I'd love to know if one of the three videos helped solve a case/bring a horse back. If not, no prob, could still happen :)

[@TheOddestCatAround09]

After the aliens were confirmed, I’m starting to think that it *was* actually aliens. But you know, you never know what it is, we all have different opinions.

[@sideknee]

My friends say I'm stupid for watching and supporting you because they are being bias about abusive "methods" just because "Well, my dad used to race horses" or "My uncle does big licks and he says it doesn't hurt them to put burning mustard oil on a horses hooves 😭😭😭

[@leahvieira2428]

This case makes me so sad. I have a OTTB and I love him so much . I cant even imagine losing a horse and I have so much sympathy for this family and I can’t even imagine the pain they went through .

[@benannachannel2551]

Once a few years ago my cat Oliver he is 14 years old and he used to be an outside cat and everyone knew him and then my neighbours took Oliver and had him for a day or two they gave him milk so at least he got fed but my mom went and knocked on there door and asked if they had Oliver and they did we found out Oliver was sick and now he is fine but he almost died

[@allabouttheanimals9151]

My sixth grade math teacher got her dog stolen. She lived in the country and they didn’t have a fenced in property. He had a doggy door, woods, and he had never left their property. They went in vacation and came home, that’s normal. When they came home, their dog was gone. They looked for him, remains of him, tracks of him, anything for months, and the only thing they found were nothing. Their neighbors were having a yard sale and they thought they saw someone on the property, but like wasn’t sure. They never did find the poor dog, and she was probably brought for breeding and profit 😞

[@stephanieplatt6138]

At the time Reagan was president there was a horse at a local show barn the horse was expected to win the pre Olympic trials coming up within days at that time. The people went to feed the horses that morning and that horse had been beaten almost to death that previous night with a crow bar. Only that horse. The horses career was over he was hit 19 times on the head with a stabbing motion it had to be someone they new because the dogs did not bark

[@tarincyprin1310]

i hate it but im in florida and there has been 9 stolen/killed horses near my area some killed for meat in the pasture they lived in. a few taken to auction in attempt to make a profit (those were found thankfully) some found dead in pastures counties away i hate that its something that can happen

[@celestiafanforever]

Thought it's sad that the family was never able to find Ballymoss I do hope that one day that someone does get in contact with them and tell them that they did had him in their family and most of all to the people who basically destroyed this family, fuck you this is all your fault! You brought pain on this family! Whatever happened to Ballymoss though I hope he did live a good life and has found Debbie's mom somewhere in Heaven where she is watching over him until he and her daughter can be reunited again. This is an edit to add cause I just thought of this. With them spreading the news of Ballymoss being stolen to the people at her school and the parents' work place anyone there could have been linked to the people who stole him. This the jerks were alerted and could have scent the horse off to be killed.

[@summerandthe4horses393]

I rlly dont get it why stupid idiots steal people's horses, like just buy ur own horse for god sake

[@gracetay3333]

That looks like an horse in one of the old photos in the riding school near me I think they found it in the road and nobody claimed it I think but idk

[@Savannah_Horse_Lover6000]

thought dog stealing wasn't a thing.. until my dog got stolen out of my yard... we found her. maybe drugged and she has never been the same, because of him she will never think the world if perfect again... we also stayed up driving around the area the man lied about where she "got loose" and after 10 + hours of half out the window calling her name while crying my eyes out... i love her and she is still amazing tho... :)

[@g.w.hampton5525]

When I lived in Oregon years ago, I came across a 2 yr old sorrel gelding with what I was told was a smidgeon too much white to be registered as a quarter horse and yet not enough to be registered as a paint etc etc etc.?? He was a pretty, typy little guy but I could tell he hadn't had much handling. He was out in my front field one day and a woman pulled in asking about him. Turns out this colt had a pretty wild history. His sire was a qh with a recognizable name and his dame was a nice paint mare owned by a woman with her own history. What had happened was this. The colt was born with an unsatisfactory amount of white so the woman told the sire's owners he had died and she wanted a breed back. She was given the breed back but for two years the colt was shuffled around and hidden from the eyes of the people who had been at the birth or knew what she was doing and would recognize his color pattern. Happily, the colt went on to be on a search and rescue team and did very well.

the vibe in your room gurl 👁👅👁 I live for it 😎

[@Cedevita_od_limuna]

Why does ballymoss kinda look like link their facial markings are kinda similar

[@margaridamota3012]

I'm so close to crying.. this is so sad and it's even worse when you realize Gill died without knowing what happened to ballymoss..💔

[@penelopesky1257]

I think I’m first but idk

[@Saerise]

Any chance there will be more of these? I love this stuff.

Literally the equestrian version of Bailey Sarian🤣

[@honeyspice8989]

Waiting for a John wick movie where someone steals his horse and he goes ape shit and kills half of America finding his horse.

[@lizzybbizzy6447]

My horses was ALMOST stolen from a stall at show when I was like 15 years old the only reason they couldn’t get him on the float was because he ( my horse) caused a big commotion because he wouldn’t leave my mare his bf my dad brought for him when we move from one adjustment property to our own acreage because he loved her so much we didn’t want to separate them So as he was trying to get chinook on the float he was rearing and neighing and just generally refusing to go any further so they were being very rough and hitting him luckily a friend’s parents recognised him and got in to a altercation with them the police were called but nothing come of it Never let him alone age if we were out We have multiple large dogs on our property no one is coming there without us knowing he is safe at home (he passed away years ago ripe old age of 28) Really really sad they didn’t get the horse back

[@shalakruep]

On Horse Plus Hero's KZbin they saved a horse from slaughter pipeline and had it up for adoption. This lady came and it was her horse that had gone missing 4 years ago. It was the sweetest reunion, I cried so hard. The horse remembered her and was so happy to see her. And the lady was crying for finally finding her lost horse she had for many many years. I just love reunion videos.

[@armonia9758]

I can't be the only one who cried. This is horrible. It's one of my worst nightmares. I can't or even want to imagine that it feels like my pets get stolen. I heard so many stories and even helped in a case about a freshly adopted dog who had been stolen. Luckily he was found but I still feel bad for all the animals that didn't manage to return to their families

[@phoebefeline8447]

If Ballymoss had been a racehorse he should have had a tattoo under his top lip.

[@Horse_Spirit]

Hi

[@NatureandWisdom11]

You should look into when the IRA stole Shergar a famous racehorse owned by the Aga Khan, that story is WILD

[@Connor....]

Imagine how great it would be if they found out what happened from this video.

[@Joice_M]

Is there a way to kep horses safe? Can horses get chipped? Or like get a tag? I feel so bad for ppl who lost their horse :c I lost my parrot for 9months! he is home tho, found by a rly nice man who returned to the ICNF where they take care of wildlife and forests, and they contected us bc he has a ring and i think he is chipped too

[@Joice_M]

@Gi Gi Ohhh! I think it depends, and people should weigh the pros and cons, but also Im not a horse rider or owner so I don't know much.

[@benjim1]

[@themasterofmisanthropy7761]

Oh hay you changed your profile

[@Tawny593]

Horse theft seems like an expensive thing to do. You need a trailer, truck, tack and a place to put stolen horse and then feed it.

[@Tawny593]

@Gi Gi Who needs to buy horses from thieves? They are everywhere in Texas. Humane shelters have them. Kill pens are full of them. Mustang giveaway programs. It's not like horses are a rare commodity.
