Stolen Horse International, also known as NetPosse, is the first resource for owners of lost or stolen horses. The largely volunteer-run organization is seeking donations to help keep its valuable programs funded.

Each year, NetPosse holds an online auction of horse-related goods and services. Tack, artwork, gift items, books and DVDs are on the wish list for this year’s auction. Additionally, trainers, riding instructors or other equine professionals can donate services for the auction.

Funds raised from the auction go toward preventing horse theft through several different programs. NetPosse is best known for sending out Stolen Horse Alerts when a horse goes missing. These alerts can be shared on social media or printed out and posted in public spaces. By spreading photos and information across the equestrian community, its harder for the horse to slip through the cracks.

NetPosse’s other essential function is education. By providing educational resources on what horse owners can do to protect their horse from theft NetPosse has helped to empower owners against this often-forgotten threat. Additionally, NetPosse speakers travel around the country to horse expos and events to help raise awareness and provide information on horse theft.
