You can order your own EPN Merchandise with the end horse slaughter
messagae at:

Our booth is dedicated to the memory of Ferdinand, 1986 KY Derby
Winner & 1987 Breeders Cup Classic winner who was slaughtered in
Japan. Visitors to the booth have been shocked to learn that
America's horses are being slaughtered for human consumption
overseas and overwhelmingly want the slaughter to end.

Remember to contact your US Represenatative & ask them to co sponsor
HR 857 and contact your US Senator to co-sponsor the yet to be
introduced Feinstein bill.

Stolen Horse Alerts from Stolen Horse International, SHI, & the Net
Posse are now listed as IDAHO ALERTS.

Similar to the Amber Alert program instituted for missing &
kidnapped children the IDAHO ALERT is for stolen horses. Debi
Metcalfe, SHI's founder, launched the organization after her
husband's beloved horse Idaho was stolen. Debi recovered Idaho a
year later and credits her successful recovery & prosecution of the
thief to the Internet.

IDAHO ALERT!

Stolen Horse International & the Net Posse Help Recover Stolen Horse!

Stolen Horse Flyer:

Recovery of Nymph as told by her owner:

This horse was found from flyer...It was a good day! :-)))
Here is Allison's story. You just never know who is taking the
horses.

I found my baby...after 4 days I found her about 5 miles from my
house....

This evening we were headed to an auction about 70 miles away and we
were almost there when we received a call on my dad's cell phone
(which is listed on the flyer) it is a man asking about the flyer
wanting to know a little more about the horse...he says he thinks
he saw her...two teenage boys brought her to a barn last week
sometime. He says he is going to get the flyer he saw at the gas
station and match it up to her. We call the sheriff s office and
tell him where the guy says she might be; they send two deputies
(who happen to own a lot of horses themselves) over there. It was
the longest drive back to our house than I can ever remember *I
know I speeded a few times

We get to the place and as soon as we start down the drive I
see 'HER' It was her.... I could never have mistaken her. I jump out
of the car and identify her as mine...answered a lot of questions
and had lots of mine answered.

The story is...last week 2 boys bring the horse in; no horse
trailer was seen...she just sort of 'appeared' there...when asked
how much they paid for the horse the answer was 'Nothing right
now...don't know if we're going to keep her...just borrowing her for
a little while'. They tried riding her...and believe me this
horse is WELL BROKE...

I would trust even a child on her...according to the man who
called us she gave them a H*LL of a ride...bucked them off and
everything...she got calmed down in a couple of days according to
the man (aka Jake). Jake says these boys are 16 and 17yrs
old...haven't found them as of yet, nor the parents...

When we went to get her out of the lot she ran from everyone but
me...she let me come up to her and rub all over her...took a
little coaxing before she would let anyone bring me a halter. She
officially does NOT like strangers now. Before this she would let
ANYBODY catch her at anytime... she would run across a field to be
with someone...

I want to thank EVERYONE for their thoughts, prayers, and their
help...I could not have found her without the Netposse urging me
on. She was found with one of the flyers Debi of Netposse made for
me. I will continue to support your group in anyway possible.
