POLICE are appealing for help to find a stallion which was stolen from the Bishop Auckland area yesterday.
The 15-year-old Welsh cob was taken from his stable near Witton Castle on Thursday night or Friday morning.
PC Andy Denham said: "The owners are very upset. He is a very good looking horse and in immaculate condition."
The horse has a white irregular mark on his face, touching the nostril, white socks on both back legs and on the right front hoof.
The thieves also took a blue-grey head collar with brass fittings. Anyone with information can contact Bishop Auckland police on 0845 606 0365.
