30 saddles stolen in raid at stables
Thursday 10th November 2011, 1:50PM GMT.
Thirty saddles have been stolen along with bridles, girths and other riding equipment in a raid on stables near Shifnal. The haul, worth £6,000, was being stored in a metal shipping container.
The container was housed at The Mill Riding Centre in Warstone Hill Road, Pattingham.
The theft on November 1 came days after up to 10 saddles were stolen from a similar container in a livery yard in nearby Patsull Road.
Horse blankets and water troughs have also been taken during the raids.
Tim Budd, who runs the centre, said this afternoon: “I was cleaned out of gear and yet just hours later, I had enough tack to saddle up 15 horses.
“I would like to thank all those friends, neighbours and colleagues who have come to the rescue.”
Police liaison officer Vicky Singleton said: “Please remind your neighbours to be security minded and vigilant when out and about around farms and stables.”
