HorseWatch
Farmwatch offer a HorseWatch Scheme within its services to the rural community. Owners of horses and ponies are targeted by thieves on a regular basis. Tack is stolen, horses and ponies injured and on occasions allowed to stray onto the public highway.
The marking of tack is one of the most important duties of HorseWatch. If your tack is marked it makes it much more difficult for the thief to sell your items on and you stand a far better chance of the items not being stolen or at least being easier to recover.
As part of this scheme Farmwatch offer a facility to the Police to assist in tracing the owner of horses so that the animal can be returned to its field without the need to call out a recovery team and therefore incur the expense of a recovery and the extra inconvenience to the owner of collecting their animal from a holding facility.
In order to take advantage of the benefits of this service horse owners need to join HorseWatch via Farmwatch and register themselves and give a details of whereabouts their horses, ponies or donkeys are kept so that Farmwatch can answer queries from the Police.
