@RaleighLink you need to do a video on netposse . They are amazing and registering your horse with them prior to the horse missing gives you a huge chance to get the horse back.
Same, but with my cat! He was 19 pounds when I rescued him and now he's only 12, were working on getting him to his goal weight of 9 pounds. He's making so much progress!
Yeah…always a great sign that such a person would be a solid person to maintain the horse’s proper upkeep - they stole the horse but surely will be willing to pay for vet care and proper feed and maintain proper shelter and grooming of the horse they stole two months before Christmas to “surprise a kid” sigh…also of course this person who stole a horse would also be willing to invest in safe tack so the kid isn’t in danger…yikes.
As someone from a small town, NEVER mess with people in a small town. Do you know how many unsolved murders took place in small towns that somehow didn’t have any evidence or witnesses? When you mess with a small town sometimes you just disappear
reminds me of a story I read, about the town bully in some small town (I don't think that the town was named) who messed with people constantly, broke laws, and was just generally hated by everyone, but the police never could quite catch him for good. Then one day, in the middle of the day he got shot dead on the street. You would think, it's an ordinary day, it's still light out, public road in the middle of the town, people all around, the shooter was probably witnessed by like five separate people, it's an open and shut case, right? Yeah, well, "no one saw anything". Zero witnesses. "No one knows" what happened. The shooter was never caught in the end.
@@SuperSkyhorse I grew up on the outskirts of a small town and everyone was close knit. A neighbor threatened to shoot my dog for barking at his cows when we rode past on our weekly dairy farm runs (He put his bull up against our property line and it antagonizes our dogs and horses). Long story short my grandpa heard about it and he got a letter signed by all the neighbors along our dirt road and some of the people in town telling him that if my dog was ever shot he wouldn’t have anymore cows to worry about. That was back when I would ride to the dairy farm a few miles away and bring back everyone’s usual order for the week so me and my dog were well loved by all of our other neighbors.
I remember there was a similar case to Whisper over here in the UK way back in 2013. It was a little 11hh grey pony called Tic Toc belonging to a 5 year old boy that went missing just before Christmas, he was also believed to be stolen. The story was huge here, so many were talking about it and looking for him all around the country, people were doing search parties, even helicopters and search dogs were offered with a large cash reward for his return. Sadly he was found a couple of months later deceased in a watery ditch about half a mile away from home, still to this day nobody knows what actually happened to him but there was a lot of speculation and controversy, some believe he was stolen but then dumped nearby after the publicity, others think he just escaped, regardless his story is horribly tragic. It's really sad that Tic Toc didn't get a happy ending, but I'm glad Whisper did.
One little mini shetland was stolen near me. Had had lami and needed special diet. Missing for weeks then found tied to a tree alive several miles away. Awful people about
@@messagegoeshere741 sadly in the uk theyre more stolen than the horses... I would still get a few well trained dogs to alert me to anything if I did have property despite that
There were 2 ponies in my area stolen just a week a part less than a month ago one was found the same day the other was sadly found deceased just miles from its home idk how people can be so cruel and disgusting
When she says take steps to keep your animals safe this can mean something as simple as memorizing any unique markings, scars, or brands they may have, even microchiping them
well... this was one of the biggest fears of my area for horseowners some years back in west area of Czech Republic. Here, there was a woman and her son, who were stealing horses and smuggle them to Germany, which borders are really nearby... When start heavy raining, snowing or on foggy days, people feared for their horses on pastures, but even in the stables.... Their approach was quite the same... first, they'll roam the area in regular car, tiping the horses out. Then they would map the behaviour of their owners, when they are at home, when they are out... and then they'll normally wait for bad weather or night to steal the horse... But there are records of her even falsing horse death, a girl give her horse to her facility (back then nobody knew what she's doing and she had regular stables), as she went abroad for studying. This woman told her, the horse died. but there was no record of dealing with the horse body or anything, which later came to conclusion she faked it and steal the horse... She also had registeres Quarter Horse stallion at her barn, and once man took his mare there for breeding. She faked the documents of that mare and stole her too... But luckily this time, the man found her and took her back. At some point, people started suspect her for being a horse thief, but since nobody had any concrete evidence it was just allegations against allegations.... Once, which I found really scary, man found his horse stolen, he immediately camer to look for him, only to saw this woman leading this horse near german borders... he called police. She claimed she found the horse and was leading him back where she though he got missing... SHE GET AWAY WITH IT!!!!! THE POLICE LET HER GO FOR NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE! Since west part of the country start knowing her, she actually started to widen the rage and been stealing horses from other part of the republic too... Once, welsh pony of really rich and famous man here was stolen in south part of Czech Republic... but by some infos, he knew it was her doings... that man called her, and threaten her to xxx her if she did not return the horse.... although she sweared she have nothing to do with it, the horse was magically appeared about 100 Km away in field...-with a halter that was not even his. Now, majority of these horse was branded and later in, they were also microchipped (in Czech its compulsory by law to have horse chipped). It did not stopped her... she knew where take these horses that nobody cared. We really talking about amount of horses that reach around 60-100 horses stolen. In the end, she was actually found guilty of some horse thievery, and for several other reasons (owning unauthorised guns) she was expulsed from our country... Her son unfortunatelly was not, and he found some friends from back then and from time to time he also was the main suspect of horse thievery.... But luckily everyone knows him and last time I needed to deal with him (he was roaming around pasture with my mare in it) was 8 years ago... Now, mostly horse thieves from Poland are big fear for people in East past of Czech... believe me, cameras, chips.... that crap don't matter to them, they'll roam the areal thorougly, mapping any sight of cameras ahead.... ALWAYS!!! ALWAYS look around the pasture and your facility.... for anything suspicious... the same car parking nearby often? Some weird people asking about the stable and horses- like ithey want to buy a horse or want to get riding lessons).... These people put real effort into it, its so freaking scary!!!
Horses have to be chipped in the uk and theres been examples of them having had chips cut out of them and new ones put in!! If you can also get your horse tattooed on the inner lip like racehorses. Even if its the same number as the chip. Extreme but if you have the cash to id say do it!
Sounds like a parent promised a kid they’d get a pony for Christmas, without having the funds to do so. Which is just ridiculous. Adults need to live in reality.
I understand that locally people will market horses that they don't own, just have taken pictures of, then steal the horse after someone buys or shows serious interest in it. I live near a kill lot, so that can be scary. Also, someone stole my oversized sheltie out of the fenced dog yard. I put signs in every store and restaurant for miles, on fences and telephone and light poles. Two weeks later he was dropped off in a field between the main road and the dirt road i lived on. He had obviously been fed and brushed. I'm not sure if he was returned because of the signs or because of how high maintenance he could be.
Nightmare absolutely. I have two horses on my property, and check on them twice a day to make sure they have all four legs and give them hay…. I could never imagine losing them like this.
They got super lucky. I know a lady who had her horse stolen to only find him slaughtered out in a field near by. Differently sound like someone wanted that pony. Probably someone they knew too.
That's actually weird too before Christmas like....... I think that the neighbor's kid prob wanted a horse but couldn't get one so her mom prob decided to steal whisper for her kids Christmas present. Or she prob wanted to try to stay they found whisper for the reward money. Edit: I know I only have 8 likes but its prob the most I have ever gotten so thank you guys 😁😁❤ Edit thank you guys again you don't have to like i am grateful and happy that I even go 18! like woah Ty have a good day
I volunteer/ help out with a lot of my nieghbors horses, it shocks me that out of all the stables/ homes with horses I've been to, only ONE had cameras. If I had horses, I'd have cameras everywhere
I think someone wanted to give the pony as a Chritmas present. But realized they made a huge mistake, and dropped him near his home. Scary that this happened.
We have had our 1 very smart thoroughbred mare due just what you said was unlikely. She opened the Powder River gate INWARD after sliding the lever latch open so she could open the gate & escape with her daughters! We awoke to a whole bunch of drivers in front of our house hollering for us to allow them to pass on their way to work at 6am! The gate looked closed because of its being opened towards the front of our farm. No one person did that as everyone around here is 1/2 scared of our very fast & gentle horses. We have since chained & padlocked that side gate! The horses also are able to open our outside handle-less garage doors faster than we can if we forget to lock them from the inside! Of course everyone can tell which bedroom is ours as the horses normally stand as close to our window as they can. If they could they would love to sleep in the house!
Old comment but yeah my horse also knows how to open doors and unchained gates. Thankfully she's too lazy to go far so I always find her either in the barn (just not the part she's supposed to be in) or the yard looking for the short sugary grass
@@marydeceptishroom9351 As the old saying goes oldie but goodie. Have your girl become involved with our little herd & they might all learn how to use the telephone & order up more feed from the store.
About 2 years ago, i woke up and my friend text me that my pony was at her house at first I thought that he got out or something and we walked to my pasture and we looked at the gate,was half way on the ground and there was a boot print in the mud it looked like someone tried to get him out of the pasture and he jumped it and went to my friends house.
Since it was a couple days before christmas - someone stole it to give to their kid as a present.. OR some local idiots promised to get someone a cheap pony for christmas ( for kids or grandkids) but when it blew up they discovered that it was stolen and just panicked..
I know I'm 8 months late but Raleigh I love these vids so much! You definitely need to do more of theses I love to watch these types of vids while cleaning my tack as you said haha ❤
In germany there was a case where 2 horses got stolen a couple of years ago, the thieves ended up only taking the calm friesian because the other one was not willing to go with them. So they left the second one tied in the nearby forest and the other one was taken.
Where i used to ride one day two of the horses had had their manes and tails cut short by unknown people. They immediatly got more cctv and brought a new gate (they already had two locked double gates on the driveway and that was the only large access. Then i see some people saying that your horse having a mane cut or being spray paintes means nothing. Disgusting never let down your guard if something odd like that happens.
A lady's horse at our barn got stolen and the lady who stole her horse was just casually walking down the street with the horse in the middle of neighborhood
Things like these happening is why I hate substances, especially alchohol! if people would just be responsible and safe about it and stay home I would feel differently, have nearly been harmed by drunk/high people multiple times now and have had to clean up a campground after them enough times to have a reason lol
After watching your video, I rushed to the hardware store to get four locks with keys for all my gates. Then, I asked my dad to help me build the fences with metal bars going vertically instead of horizontally, 6 feet tall, so no one could climb over them. Then we installed security cameras for every inch of the pastures and barn. Lastly, I called my vet to microchip all three of my horses. Stopping horses from getting stolen is expensive!😳But I'll do anything to protect my babies❤
one time my horse Majik was out of the pasture and shivering with whip marks but after that we put locked on all gates.And now Majik is scared of any whip that goes near him and there was one time called a “Trainer” but really he didn’t know what a round pin was and when he turned around and show his butt she would whip him and after I saw that I told her to leave he’s been through a lot for only a year this will be his second year with me.
I really can NOT stress enough that when you live on acreage and are outside of town, it has become completely necessary to invest in security cameras. We don't have any pets right now but we have cameras all over this place and stash game cams inside out buildings as well if you can't wire it into the main house easily or inexpensively. I can tell you that we now have homeless that park on the edge of the property and break into neighbors place and squat there when the neighbor was almost moved out. I am a light sleeper anyway but people aren't going to get on this property without one of us knowing it. Security cameras are just a blessing. Hear a noise outside....check the cameras, call the police if necessary, video evidence for law enforcement handy. And absolutely microchip your pets.
I can't believe some people steal other horses just to send to slaughter. I can't even imagine the sadness someone would feel if they found out their beloved horse was stolen and killed just for money.. I'm glad these two horses were returned safe.
I was gonna say, my mare always pulls gates open inwards. Hooks her head over the top and just pulls. Had to start locking the arena gate when i let them in, otherwise she would open the gate to go into the aisle
I would have a meltdown if one of my horses was stolen, it’s a worst fear. He’s a very broke and well mannered horse someone would steal him and take him away to sell him for a bunch of money. Its honestly sad. That poof pony. This is also my biggest fear about being a RUclipsr in this generation. People would do anything for my horse and already have told me they want to buy him if I were to ever sell which I won’t.
When i hopefully get a horse someday im going to go for a less interesting colour as horse theft just worries me so much. Want an animal someone wont double take on.
@@poppymason-smith1051 yep, I don’t go for color I go for the look and horse that fits me best and can do what I ask. I really didn’t want a black horse😂 I’ve also had a goal to train him so ya.
I’ve always wondered what lives in the tank behind you. The amount of sawdust makes me think. Gerbil as I used to have an albino gerbil called Rosie because of her red eye but i didn’t have a wheel as I was told long tail rodents shouldn’t use wheels or balls.
My guess is that they attempted to sell whisper for money and the pony seems well known from the town so maybe someone would bug whisper to just keep her around. But then realized the posts and how to the town was looking for her and dropped her off somewhere where she could be found.
I love this series you have made Raleigh, Equestrian Horse True Crime Case's Unsolved...!!! Thumbs UP Girly it's sad your leaving though I'll miss your content so much 💔👍👏
I literally had one of my horses get out the other day and almost get hit by a car in southern NH. The pin to the gate was gone and the gate was pushed inward. Thank god the way I have my gate set made it lock my other horse in the run in stalls and he didn’t push the gate to get out. The gate is also blocked from being pushed outward unless done with force so the gate would have stayed closed, or even closed by itself if it was only slightly opened and let go. But it was pushed all the way inward. I had found grass clippings in my paddock a week prior like someone had ripped up grass and fed it to them. On a side note, the vet clinic LITERALLY next door decided it was below him (the owner) to help when the lady who almost hit her ran to them for help 🙃 It’s terrifying out there y’all.
ALL our horses are chipped, & I (probably) have too many cameras…but, I’d rather have too many than not enough!! When the cameras are tripped? It looks like landing lights on a jet!! Almost blinding! Plus, we still have that good old fashioned “cowboy justice” in place! Our places, are very remote. We don’t mess around!except 🤠🐴
I love this chick she makes the best videos. I found my dog 5 years ago with a collar and no name tag. No one came looking for him. I checked social media so not every animal is stolen.
How awful but thank goodness for the neighbours searching. This is when social media is really good.. Horses would not separate. We had 4 get out 30 years ago and they all trotted down to a neighbouring farm where there was a stallion. We got them all back safely and no damage done.
My mother has pigs, the kunekune ones. Her sow abandoned her baby and my mom bottlefed it. So it was just roaming around the yard like a dog. Someone was caught on camera grabbing her and driving off. She was like 15 lbs. The cops were involved and escorted my mother to the house where the car was registered to. She could hear the pig screaming from inside. They didn't even come outside, they just threw the pig on the porch and Xena ran to my mother. They thought they were getting a free pet and got instant Karma instead lmao RIP their eardrums because i couldn't even pick her up without hearing damage
Honestly whoever took the pony had such awful planning and clearly no experience I dont steal animals and i never will and even i know that theyre planning and thought process sucked
I have had two of my horses stolen and four of my puppies stolen just before Christmas so i known what it feels like and i could not get them back because i had no proof
When I was a kid someone stole our pet bunny off of our screened in porch people are jerks I will never understand how you can just take someone’s pet.
a couple years ago in sweden, there were a horse that got its tung cut of in the padock. there was a stranger that just walket in to the padock, did it and left. the poor horse died befor the owner notice. i think the person that did it was caught.
Oh god there was something similar in france of someone slitting horses throats!? And trying to disembowel some. Thankfully i think the ones that only had had their throat slit lived as horses have a lot of blood and it wasnt done by someone in the know about it. Why tf are people so horrible and awful
not far from shoe season, my trainer owned a beautiful bay mare who had rlly long main and tail, my trainer said she went out to feed the horses and she saw that her mare was missing her whole tail. and the trail snatchers didn’t do a good job bc they left their dollar store like scissors in the muddy pasture 😃
My worst nightmare. I worked hard to get my horses from fat about to founder bad hoofs that no one wanted to the perfect weight happy healthy horses and now I get offers for my babies. I’d never sell my mini or my halflinger they’re my babies my worst fear to have my babies taken for slaughter or for someone else, my horses have very specific cues and needs and I’ve obviously bonded with them.
Whoever it was is a total jerk. Stealing a kids pony at Christmas sucks. Hopefully they won’t try it again and if they do they get caught and sent to jail.♥️🐴😁
Binge watching your videos on a long car ride while eating chips and a donut is the best 🤭❤️ I agree with other people commenting on this saying that since it was so close to Christmas, some parent wanted to surprise their kid with a pony and a horse, yet they didn't want to pay for it. I'm glad that both horses were unharmed and reunited with their owner, but i agree that whoever did this needs to be punished. I cant imagine aaking up on your sons birthday and your horses being gone. If someone stole my horse, I would be right there with you in jail for murder lol 💀 anyways, thank you for all of the time, work, and effort you put into your videos! I really love all of your content, and this series is awesome! ❤❤
What if when they stole whisper she fought back and they tried to get here by her halter and it broke and then the blanket and it ripped and she got away if that really happened shes a QUEEN 👑❤
thank god my horse is microchiped and is a nightmare to deal with. the theives might not be even able to get him out of pasture or he would run away... unless they tranquilized him...
This is so fascinating because it was obviously someone who owns horses themselves. See, a horse trailer costs a lot of money especially to a non horse person, to know how to trailer a horse, to unhalter and take off a blanket, it’s obviously a horse person. Maybe they stole whisper knowing she’s a mare to breed her for her markings and got scared and released her or were going to sell for slaughter. It’s just fascinating they took the pony and not the horse, could’ve sold in many directions. Also just a few days before CHRISTMAS? Maybe they stole whisper as a present for a child or a lesson pony. I hope if we ever find out it’s from confessions and not another stolen horse. They’re obviously gonna do it again they might have gotten spooked by this a little but they have a trailer and common horse sense definitely not regular sense though. I really hope whisper and that larger horse are safe. I hope she gets cameras even though they are expensive as well as a code lock or key. One other thing is keeping your horses unhaltered and putting the halters and leads inside a locked building like the barn or a shed, a lot of horse thieves (not very good ones) will not bring spares, but more experienced ones will. I think it’s pretty stupid to steal a backyard pony, you don’t even know if it’s broke. Prayers for her owner.
Animal nutrition calculator helped my obese dog lose weight! It genuinely works guys, he lost 10lbs and acts like he did when he was a puppy.
Yay❤
Yay!

There is a very good chance that the person that called to report sighting the pony was the actual thief.

It sounds like Whisper was an intended Christmas present for the thief’s child.

So glad to see the pony unharmed, absolute nightmare.

I think someone wanted to give the pony as a Chritmas present. But realized they made a huge mistake, and dropped him near his home. Scary that this happened.
We have had our 1 very smart thoroughbred mare due just what you said was unlikely. She opened the Powder River gate INWARD after sliding the lever latch open so she could open the gate & escape with her daughters! We awoke to a whole bunch of drivers in front of our house hollering for us to allow them to pass on their way to work at 6am! The gate looked closed because of its being opened towards the front of our farm. No one person did that as everyone around here is 1/2 scared of our very fast & gentle horses. We have since chained & padlocked that side gate! The horses also are able to open our outside handle-less garage doors faster than we can if we forget to lock them from the inside! Of course everyone can tell which bedroom is ours as the horses normally stand as close to our window as they can. If they could they would love to sleep in the house!
Old comment but yeah my horse also knows how to open doors and unchained gates. Thankfully she's too lazy to go far so I always find her either in the barn (just not the part she's supposed to be in) or the yard looking for the short sugary grass
@@marydeceptishroom9351 As the old saying goes oldie but goodie. Have your girl become involved with our little herd & they might all learn how to use the telephone & order up more feed from the store.
About 2 years ago, i woke up and my friend text me that my pony was at her house at first I thought that he got out or something and we walked to my pasture and we looked at the gate,was half way on the ground and there was a boot print in the mud it looked like someone tried to get him out of the pasture and he jumped it and went to my friends house.
Oh my goodness! that’s tramatic
@Lea_Eq it was, but to make it worse, my parents didn't believe us. They said that he probably kicked the gate or something.
@@Kay_Equestrain wow😧 there are some terrible ppl in the world
Smart pony!
What a cute story and a smart pony
My family were victims to horse thieves years ago, we've still never gotten over it as we we're unable to get any of them back. Traumatizing
My ponies went missing in my small town and were found less than an 2 hours later thanks to the cities help!
Thanks!
Since it was a couple days before christmas - someone stole it to give to their kid as a present.. OR some local idiots promised to get someone a cheap pony for christmas ( for kids or grandkids) but when it blew up they discovered that it was stolen and just panicked..
Ahh so excited you made another one of these, and so glad the pony was found unharmed. Your unsolved and unkempt videos are my favourite ❤️
I know I'm 8 months late but Raleigh I love these vids so much! You definitely need to do more of theses I love to watch these types of vids while cleaning my tack as you said haha ❤
The loser probably stole the cute pony to give as a Christmas present.
In germany there was a case where 2 horses got stolen a couple of years ago, the thieves ended up only taking the calm friesian because the other one was not willing to go with them. So they left the second one tied in the nearby forest and the other one was taken.
Where i used to ride one day two of the horses had had their manes and tails cut short by unknown people. They immediatly got more cctv and brought a new gate (they already had two locked double gates on the driveway and that was the only large access. Then i see some people saying that your horse having a mane cut or being spray paintes means nothing. Disgusting never let down your guard if something odd like that happens.
A lady's horse at our barn got stolen and the lady who stole her horse was just casually walking down the street with the horse in the middle of neighborhood
i love your Raleigh you teach me so much
I know you are quitting RUclips, but if you did horse horror stories as a series, it would be amazing! I loved this!
She’s quitting RUclips?
@@cloudypopcorn8820 She said she was, but idk doesn't seem like it's going to be 100% if at all.
@@cloudypopcorn8820She's been saying it for a while, end of this year.
@@xCocoaWolfwhy? 😢
She is pregnant and maybe she’ll be a qualified vet?
My old riding instructor almost had her horses stolen by drunk people but she chased away.
She has all of her horses.
Oh my goodness that’s terrible! I’m glad everyone is ok (or I hope they’re ok)
@@Idk37whaaaat Thanks. Everyone's okay
Things like these happening is why I hate substances, especially alchohol! if people would just be responsible and safe about it and stay home I would feel differently, have nearly been harmed by drunk/high people multiple times now and have had to clean up a campground after them enough times to have a reason lol
After watching your video, I rushed to the hardware store to get four locks with keys for all my gates. Then, I asked my dad to help me build the fences with metal bars going vertically instead of horizontally, 6 feet tall, so no one could climb over them. Then we installed security cameras for every inch of the pastures and barn. Lastly, I called my vet to microchip all three of my horses. Stopping horses from getting stolen is expensive!😳But I'll do anything to protect my babies❤
one time my horse Majik was out of the pasture and shivering with whip marks but after that we put locked on all gates.And now Majik is scared of any whip that goes near him and there was one time called a “Trainer” but really he didn’t know what a round pin was and when he turned around and show his butt she would whip him and after I saw that I told her to leave he’s been through a lot for only a year this will be his second year with me.
You have to do more stories like this. They are so good
I really can NOT stress enough that when you live on acreage and are outside of town, it has become completely necessary to invest in security cameras. We don't have any pets right now but we have cameras all over this place and stash game cams inside out buildings as well if you can't wire it into the main house easily or inexpensively. I can tell you that we now have homeless that park on the edge of the property and break into neighbors place and squat there when the neighbor was almost moved out. I am a light sleeper anyway but people aren't going to get on this property without one of us knowing it. Security cameras are just a blessing. Hear a noise outside....check the cameras, call the police if necessary, video evidence for law enforcement handy. And absolutely microchip your pets.
I WAS SO SCARED AT FIRST- THE PONY LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THE PONIES AT MY RIDING SCHOOL LIKE IDENTICAL 😰😰
One in my stall had her 2 ponys stolen, 10 years later she got one back.. the other one never came back..
I can't believe some people steal other horses just to send to slaughter. I can't even imagine the sadness someone would feel if they found out their beloved horse was stolen and killed just for money.. I'm glad these two horses were returned safe.
I was gonna say, my mare always pulls gates open inwards. Hooks her head over the top and just pulls. Had to start locking the arena gate when i let them in, otherwise she would open the gate to go into the aisle
I would have a meltdown if one of my horses was stolen, it’s a worst fear. He’s a very broke and well mannered horse someone would steal him and take him away to sell him for a bunch of money. Its honestly sad. That poof pony. This is also my biggest fear about being a RUclipsr in this generation. People would do anything for my horse and already have told me they want to buy him if I were to ever sell which I won’t.
When i hopefully get a horse someday im going to go for a less interesting colour as horse theft just worries me so much. Want an animal someone wont double take on.
@@poppymason-smith1051 yep, I don’t go for color I go for the look and horse that fits me best and can do what I ask. I really didn’t want a black horse😂 I’ve also had a goal to train him so ya.
I’ve always wondered what lives in the tank behind you. The amount of sawdust makes me think. Gerbil as I used to have an albino gerbil called Rosie because of her red eye but i didn’t have a wheel as I was told long tail rodents shouldn’t use wheels or balls.
I was just watching your unsolved and unkempt serues and I was so sad because I had watched all the videos in the series
OMG THANK GOD THERE IS UNSOLVED AND UNKEMPT!!
OMG IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR YOU TO MAKE ANOTHER EPISODE OF UNSOLVED AND UNKEMPT IM SO HAPPYYYYY
My guess is that they attempted to sell whisper for money and the pony seems well known from the town so maybe someone would bug whisper to just keep her around. But then realized the posts and how to the town was looking for her and dropped her off somewhere where she could be found.
That is an absolute nightmare! I can’t imagine that happening to my rabbits.
This is my favorite series and I’m not ready to see it go 😢
I love this series you have made Raleigh, Equestrian Horse True Crime Case's Unsolved...!!! Thumbs UP Girly it's sad your leaving though I'll miss your content so much 💔👍👏
I literally had one of my horses get out the other day and almost get hit by a car in southern NH. The pin to the gate was gone and the gate was pushed inward. Thank god the way I have my gate set made it lock my other horse in the run in stalls and he didn’t push the gate to get out. The gate is also blocked from being pushed outward unless done with force so the gate would have stayed closed, or even closed by itself if it was only slightly opened and let go. But it was pushed all the way inward. I had found grass clippings in my paddock a week prior like someone had ripped up grass and fed it to them.
On a side note, the vet clinic LITERALLY next door decided it was below him (the owner) to help when the lady who almost hit her ran to them for help 🙃
It’s terrifying out there y’all.
i love these been waiting for another one
Looking forward to this video!
Hi Raleigh! Hi Everyone!! 👋😁
HI!!!!!
Hi 👋👋👋
SO GLAD THEY GOT THEY'RE HORSE BACK very messed up situation.
OMG Girl PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE RALEIGH!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP THE UNSOLVED AND UNKEMPT SERIES MORE REGULAR PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE❤
Can’t wait for this!Gonna be amazing.
omg raleigh we need more! i love this
The animal nutrition calculator helped me manage my 3 horses and 2 dogs meals!
ALL our horses are chipped, & I (probably) have too many cameras…but, I’d rather have too many than not enough!!
When the cameras are tripped? It looks like landing lights on a jet!! Almost blinding! Plus, we still have that good old fashioned “cowboy justice” in place! Our places, are very remote. We don’t mess around!except 🤠🐴
I love this chick she makes the best videos. I found my dog 5 years ago with a collar and no name tag. No one came looking for him. I checked social media so not every animal is stolen.
I am surprised that they didn't try to stage a rescue and bring it back for the $800
This is one of the reasons i have two life gaurd stock dogs watching the horses and the sheep
And so got the phrase "a friend to steal horses" takes on a whole new meaning 😅
My cat was stolen on my birthday a year ago. Wish i could see him again. Lucky people
How awful but thank goodness for the neighbours searching.
This is when social media is really good.. Horses would not separate. We had 4 get out 30 years ago and they all trotted down to a neighbouring farm where there was a stallion.
We got them all back safely and no damage done.
My mother has pigs, the kunekune ones. Her sow abandoned her baby and my mom bottlefed it. So it was just roaming around the yard like a dog. Someone was caught on camera grabbing her and driving off. She was like 15 lbs. The cops were involved and escorted my mother to the house where the car was registered to. She could hear the pig screaming from inside. They didn't even come outside, they just threw the pig on the porch and Xena ran to my mother. They thought they were getting a free pet and got instant Karma instead lmao RIP their eardrums because i couldn't even pick her up without hearing damage
Honestly whoever took the pony had such awful planning and clearly no experience
I dont steal animals and i never will and even i know that theyre planning and thought process sucked
I’m glad the pony is okay. ❤Love your videos
I have had two of my horses stolen and four of my puppies stolen just before Christmas so i known what it feels like and i could not get them back because i had no proof
When I was a kid someone stole our pet bunny off of our screened in porch people are jerks I will never understand how you can just take someone’s pet.
a couple years ago in sweden, there were a horse that got its tung cut of in the padock. there was a stranger that just walket in to the padock, did it and left. the poor horse died befor the owner notice. i think the person that did it was caught.
Oh god there was something similar in france of someone slitting horses throats!? And trying to disembowel some. Thankfully i think the ones that only had had their throat slit lived as horses have a lot of blood and it wasnt done by someone in the know about it. Why tf are people so horrible and awful
@@poppymason-smith1051 oh jeez. There were also 2 other horse's that got there throats some other time. 1 of them survived
Hi from Norway 👋👋
Hi Norway!
-from Canada
Yes please more unsolved and unkempt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT keep up the good work!
Like I have to clean out my rabbit with my hands I lost my scrapper 😭 this video shall cheer me up
Raleigh, you are awesome!
my mom has never had horse stolen but someone stole all her tack
Considering it was right before Christmas, the horse thief probably stole the pony to give to someone as a gift 😬
May i ask what you use to clean your boots? Mine are filthy but just water doesn't seem to work and leaves smudges! ❤
not far from shoe season, my trainer owned a beautiful bay mare who had rlly long main and tail, my trainer said she went out to feed the horses and she saw that her mare was missing her whole tail. and the trail snatchers didn’t do a good job bc they left their dollar store like scissors in the muddy pasture 😃
Clearly stolen. Couldn't get her blanket and halter off by herself. So sad.
Just so awful that some people have no hart. Thanks for making this videos❤
A theory i have is that someone wanted a pony for chrismtas, or wanted to let their kids have a really nice celebration.. by stealing someones pony
My worst nightmare. I worked hard to get my horses from fat about to founder bad hoofs that no one wanted to the perfect weight happy healthy horses and now I get offers for my babies. I’d never sell my mini or my halflinger they’re my babies my worst fear to have my babies taken for slaughter or for someone else, my horses have very specific cues and needs and I’ve obviously bonded with them.
Whoever it was is a total jerk. Stealing a kids pony at Christmas sucks. Hopefully they won’t try it again and if they do they get caught and sent to jail.♥️🐴😁
Binge watching your videos on a long car ride while eating chips and a donut is the best 🤭❤️ I agree with other people commenting on this saying that since it was so close to Christmas, some parent wanted to surprise their kid with a pony and a horse, yet they didn't want to pay for it. I'm glad that both horses were unharmed and reunited with their owner, but i agree that whoever did this needs to be punished. I cant imagine aaking up on your sons birthday and your horses being gone. If someone stole my horse, I would be right there with you in jail for murder lol 💀 anyways, thank you for all of the time, work, and effort you put into your videos! I really love all of your content, and this series is awesome! ❤❤
I want more of these vids I love them so interesting please can we have another one. Love these vid Riley.❤
I would be effin scared to death that I might actually die if this happend to my pony
hey! i cant wait for this!
What if when they stole whisper she fought back and they tried to get here by her halter and it broke and then the blanket and it ripped and she got away if that really happened shes a QUEEN 👑❤
thank god my horse is microchiped and is a nightmare to deal with. the theives might not be even able to get him out of pasture or he would run away... unless they tranquilized him...
Can you please keep making just these videos as an excuse to clean tack? 😅 Story time with Raleigh
Hi i love theses videos have a good day
Omgosh. Can you imagine how much they 💩💩💩 their pants when the drones come out?! 😂😂😂
Omg I’ve been waiting for one of these for such a long time! This is quite sad and I’m actually getting teary eyed watching but it is worth it 😕
This is so fascinating because it was obviously someone who owns horses themselves. See, a horse trailer costs a lot of money especially to a non horse person, to know how to trailer a horse, to unhalter and take off a blanket, it’s obviously a horse person. Maybe they stole whisper knowing she’s a mare to breed her for her markings and got scared and released her or were going to sell for slaughter. It’s just fascinating they took the pony and not the horse, could’ve sold in many directions. Also just a few days before CHRISTMAS? Maybe they stole whisper as a present for a child or a lesson pony. I hope if we ever find out it’s from confessions and not another stolen horse. They’re obviously gonna do it again they might have gotten spooked by this a little but they have a trailer and common horse sense definitely not regular sense though. I really hope whisper and that larger horse are safe. I hope she gets cameras even though they are expensive as well as a code lock or key. One other thing is keeping your horses unhaltered and putting the halters and leads inside a locked building like the barn or a shed, a lot of horse thieves (not very good ones) will not bring spares, but more experienced ones will. I think it’s pretty stupid to steal a backyard pony, you don’t even know if it’s broke. Prayers for her owner.
