Have just phoned the police and its not illegal to put a photograph of someones horse,with an address for all to see on a public place.
Lets help the thieves?

Ive just hada look, having just read H&H in the tub

Luckily my house/horses aren't on there, but there are some pics close by,

It is so scary thinking someone was closeby

In th artical it says that they've recently had only one complaint about a picture of horses, which was removed, but it's probably because not many people who's horse is on there knew it existed!

[chunklovescooks]

Well Ive complained and made a facebook group!

Photographs on a geographical website are not the cause of horse
thefts. Highly organised criminal gangs are. You can read about their
modus operandi here:

That document contains a lot of good information on how to protect
yourself and your livestock. Amateur photographs present no threat at
all to you.

Cheeky little sod. I would ask him how he would like it if we took pictures of his child with details of where to find them so pedophiles could find it or a picture of his house with address and details of how best to break in!!!!
