HOLLY HILL, S.C.—One Holly Hill woman is hoping someone in Berkeley County or the surrounding area might be able to help her get her beloved mare back after she says it was stolen from her home.
“I’m still in shock that someone would take my horse. I’m so worried sick my heart hurts,” stated Katie Crosby who attended Berkeley High School and is originally from Lebanon. “I keep hoping and praying I’m going to look out my window and see her back in her pen and this was all some crazy dream.”
Three days ago, Crosby says she fed her Bay Arabian around 7 p.m. at her home on Gabigar Road. The next morning, she says she returned to the pen to find the horse nowhere in sight.
“I called the Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office to report the theft,” she said. “A deputy came out, drove around and saw her hoof marks were they took her up the road and then loaded her in a trailer. He gave me my case card and told me if she shows up call them or if we see her to call them.”
According to Crosby, she was home with her two young children when the horse was stolen from her property.
“They (the thieves) came down my driveway, past my house and to her pen where they took her and then apparently walked her back down my driveway down the dirt road and loaded her into a trailer,” stated Crosby. “I do believe it’s someone who is local and in the area.”
Crosby has even placed an ad on Craigslist, hoping someone might have information on her stolen horse.
“I just want my girl returned, and I’m hoping if it is a local, just maybe they will return her or turn her loose so someone can find her,” stressed Crosby. “I’m doing my best to try and put the word out the best I can.”
The horse has a white star on its face and is approximately 25-years-old.
“She does not look her age except in the winter time when she gets a super shaggy winter coat due to her having Cushing’s,” explained Crosby. “She’s the only horse that was on my personal property. And I’ve owned her for about four years.”
If you have any information on the missing horse, please contact the Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office at (803) 803-534-3550, or you can email information to [email protected].
“To the people that have her, please return her. I just truly want my horse back,” stressed Crosby. “I know she’s scared and cold. I miss her more than words can explain.”
