'Mr Brock details are as follows;- 15.2 hh, cob cross shire, piebald mainly black with distinctive white lightening stripe down his neck to left hand shoulder. Black areas flecked with white hair as in old age. Very large white blaze with small black spots dotted within it and one black dot on pink nose between his nostrils. Right hand side of his neck has thin white streak widening out on his shoulder. Black mane, mainly black forelock with white streak, black ears. Very distinctive wall eye (right eye) with white eyelashes. Very full white tail, four white feathers with black and white hooves. Age approximately 15 years. By nature he is extremely placid and calm in practically all situations.

Although Mr Brock appears strong and healthy he has lung damage from previous infection and coughs under exertion. He has arthritic clicky shoulders, slightly cow hocked, quite lumpy legs and has been worked hard in the past as a wagon horse.

Mr Brock was taken from his field adjacent to Soham by pass (Downfields) on the night of Saturday 26th / early hours of Sunday 27th after the post and rail fencing was removed. Police attended approximately 7am Sunday morning after member of the public called to report several horses running loose on the by pass. Mr Brock`s field mate was recovered and secured back in the field by police, two other horses were also put back in a field just down the road - only Mr Brock is still missing. Three officers attended the incident (Incident number 171 - 27/05/07) a Rachel Loveridge and Dave Osborne the third officer unknown. The Crime reference number is CF0295820507. I spoke to a very helpful officer at the control centre Louise Firth collar number 8366. Police chose to believe the horses had all just `broken out` hence the delay in registering a theft and acquiring a crime reference number - however close inspection proves that the fence rails were forceably broken from outside the field. The adjacent field had barbed wire cleanly snipped.

I really appreciate your support and positive assistance. Thank you for being there.

we have been keeping an eye out in case he is loose in area (the theives may have been disturbed and left the horses).

scares me to think just a year back my lot would have been along that strech of the A142.
