This is a warning to all local horse owners that may have had tack or saddles stolen, there was a rash of saddles being taken by a farrier that was stealing saddles, he knew his saddles and the quality, he is now in Jail after being caught by three cowboys that took action along with many police officers, if you have a saddle that is missing please contact Washington County and see if your saddle or ie missing tack or bridles have been retrieved.
Please pass this information on to anyone who owns a horse, horse related items ie tack or saddles, ranch, stable, or any type of horse riding operation. This man worked in the area located west of Downtown Portland for horse people needing farrier service.
