A dun or buckskin Paso Fino gelding was stolen from his Milton, Wisc., pasture, reports the horse’s owner, Jim Badertscher, in an Idaho Alert (https://www.netposse.com/stolenmissing/buckWIAug06.htm) he posted on Stolen Horse International’s NetPosse web site yesterday (Aug. 13). The theft took place on July 22.


Badertscher reported that while he was away, Buck was taken from the farm’s locked pasture, where he was “one of two yearlings (the ‘ in your pocket’ friendly one).” He suspects the thief is someone who knew the farm routine and was aware of his purchase and shipment of Buck, who had arrived there three weeks earlier.


Buck is about “4 1/2 feet tall at the shoulder (about 13.2 hands)” and he has “blackish legs exactly from the knees down with very distinctive black zebra stripes.” He has a small white star and his mane and tail are black with white


Badertscher reported the theft to the Lafayette County Sheriff’s Office in Darlington, Wisc
