Man spotted walking with horse stolen from Shelby Farms
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Shelby Farms Stables is asking for the community's help finding a 22-year-old horse stolen Thursday afternoon.
The Palamino named Pancho was in a pasture with 50 other horses when someone walked him off the property toward Mullin Station Road.
A barn manager discovered the gelding was missing and spotted human and hoof prints in the snow.
Eric Beene, owner of Shelby Farms Stables, said they were able to pick up a trail and followed the tracks for five miles to a fenced-in property at Sanga and Rocky Hills Road. He said people at the park also saw someone leading the horse along the Greenline.
'We put out an alert on Facebook, and instantly, I got some people calling me and said yeah, we passed a young male 25-30 leading the horse down the Greenway where people were riding bicycles and jogging,' said Beene, 'It's pretty much nuts. It's 18 degrees, and he's walking this horse down the road across Germantown Road.'
Beene has owned the stables for ten years and said Pancho is one of his oldest horses. He thinks the thief grabbed the first horse he saw. He said Pancho was wearing a green blanket, but he's worried about the animal's well-being.
'I was very upset. The first thing I worry about in temperatures, like, did something happen to him,' said Beene. 'We even put on Facebook if they contact us by tonight, we'll come get the horse, no questions asked, but if they wait until the morning, I want the sheriff's deputies to do whatever they have to do to this person.'
He said the horsenapping was captured on camera along the Greenline. If you have seen the horse or know where he is, call Crimestoppers at 901-528-CASH or call Shelby Farms Stables Stables at 901-647-5793.
