how horrible but i know how it feels .i used to own a yard with about 30 horses on and all our tack got stolen it was a year or so back now but the persons who robbed our yard must of known it well becauce there are places that people woultnt find unless they were shown.
Might have benn same people that did us over three weeks ago all riding school tack.
Oh well its only 2 years in a row i've been robbed it was on a different yard last time tho.
We're in west yorks
