All a thief needs is a little feed, a trailer, maybe some wire cutters, and a little moonlight.
Most horses are halter broke, they ll come right to the fence, and they re usually easy to load.
If the thief is lucky, the horse won t have a brand or any form of permanent identification that law enforcement agencies can use. HIP is a system to identify and record information on individual horses and maintain that information in a central database. Free freeze brand and digitized photo opportunities for new members are also made available. Including a special January Horse issue. A deterrent to any thief.
