...the criminal who breaks into a field, and steals the thick winter rugs from the backs of old ponies on a freezing wet night in the middle of January...

That's what happened to five of the riding school horses and ponies a couple of weeks ago. Three of them were old retired ponies, and the two horses had just been clipped.

They were found at 8am the following morning soaking wet and shivering in the field.

Perhaps the worst thing about it is that it must have been committed by someone who knows about - and possibly owns - horses.
