Lost Horse Found in NY

Story

GANSEVOORT — A bay gelding named "Equinox Paisley" was found Saturday afternoon outside the city of Saratoga, and Upstate Equine Medical Center is trying to spread the word to get the horse back to its rightful owner.

Tracy Bartick-Sedrish of Upstate Equine Medical Center said the clinic discovered the horse and, after calling the police, were unsure of how to best contact the horse's owners. Police referred her to Animal Control but Bartick-Sedrish said she just wanted to let the owners know Equinox Paisley is safe and sound.

"What ends up happening when a horse is lost is the owner ends up looking in the woods with a flashlight all hours of the night," Bartick-Sedrish said. "We just want to get him back to his owner."

Any information regarding the horse and its owners can be called into Upstate Equine Medical Center at 695-3744 any time. There is also an emergency beeper number available if no one answers at the center (number is provided on automated phone message).

Unfortunately, this horse might not be lost. With the economy so bad and people unable to sell or continue to care for their horses, they're just setting them loose thinking that the horse will be able to fend for themselves. Of course horses can't just fend for themselves since they're not used to finding their own water and food, and avoiding traffic. I hope this isn't the case for this boy and his owners will find him soon.
