Good catch, I saw that too, but I think it's a mistake, prob. meant 3/29.

The original ad was posted on 4/11, and updated again yesterday.

I hope she alerted all of the vets and UCDavis... someone will get a call to see the foal... and needs to know to report WHERE that foal and mare are then!
no doubt she's settled in somewhere to foal with the person who thinks he is leasing her or whatever...

State-wide, I hope. Taking her with 30 days to go tells me he knows she needs to be in situ 30 days before foal-out. He may have wanted to move her outside the "reasonable" range of notification.

Does anyone know Lisa?

UPDATE 4/30/08:

STOLEN HORSE-UPDATE on PREGNANT MARE, We were contacted by the suspects attorney and told that she had a filly. The mare and filly have not been returned to us or their location disclosed. We have all legal documents verifying ownership of both mare and foal. We have all veterinary receipts and boarding agreements/receipts documenting the insemination and fees and veterinary checks for settling in May 2007. There has not ever been any agreement between myself and the suspect regarding this mare or foal.

Sounds like you are having to negotiate with a theives lawyer. What a crazy situation. Good luck and I am so sorry.

I was given my horse by a guy who just wanted to dump her at a University for research and I could never get him to meet with me or mail me a bill of sale. Then a couple stopped at my house and said "Thats my gelding!" They were very accusing and rude. Well Bitter is a mare and she has parrot mouth and so she stuck her tongue out at them and we never saw them again.
