Blue Cross is appealing for help from the public to find stolen pony Basil

Basil was stolen from his loan home in Gloucestershire on the evening of Thursday 21 May.

Blue Cross is asking for your help to make Basil too hot to handle. They really want him back home safe and sound with his borrower, who is absolutely devastated as you can imagine.

Basil only has one eye. He is 10hh, piebald (black and white), is a gelding (neutered) with distinctive markings, and is microchipped.

If you see Basil, or have any information on his theft, please call Gloucestershire Police/Avon and Somerset Police on 101, quoting crime reference number 497.

Basil can be nervous, so if you think you see him please do not approach him but do call the police.
