A horse believed to be stolen from his Georgia pasture was found alive in a nearby ditch three weeks after going missing, reported television station WALB News.  

A cell phone video shows Sheyenne being lifted from the five-foot ditch in a cotton field about a mile from his owners’ farm. He’s lost about half of his 1,200 pounds, but a veterinarian who examined him said he’s likely to recover from his ordeal.

“I was worried his legs weren’t strong enough to make it but he seems fine,” owner Laura Davis told WALB.

A neighbor reported someone opening Davis’ pasture gate several weeks ago. Another five horses were recovered at the time
