Search Update: Case of the Missing Mini Horse 🐴😂

This morning we got a call from an old friend whose miniature horse had gone missing sometime before sunrise.

The investigation started with a few important clues… several strategically placed piles of horse p**p around the stable. 💩 Sherlock Holmes would have been proud.

We launched the drone, knowing we only had a short window before the rising sun would make thermal searching much less effective. We flew three missions, covering every field within about a mile and a half.

Nothing.

We told the owner we’d come back after dark when the thermal camera would have every advantage. In the meantime, she kept searching on foot.

Then we got the text…

“We found her!”

Great! Where was she?

🥁 Cue the drum roll.🥁

Locked inside the closet of the boarders’ tack room. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Apparently, someone had left the tack room and closet door open the night before. Our little escape artist wandered in looking for snacks, the door swung shut behind her, and she spent the day patiently waiting for room service.

The tack room had been checked that morning… but nobody thought to open the walk-in closet because, well… who expects to find a horse in a closet?

So today’s lesson is officially being added to the SkyScout Animal Search training manual:

✅ Check the fields.
✅ Check the woods.
✅ Check the ponds.
✅ And apparently… check the closets. 🤣

We’re thrilled this story had such a happy ending. Sometimes the best search is the one that gives everyone a good laugh afterward!

Glad she was found safe—and we’ve all learned that miniature horses don’t always read the same search manuals we do! 😄

🇺🇸 4th of July Pet Reminder 🐾

Fireworks may be fun for us, but they can be terrifying for our pets.

✔️ Keep pets indoors before dark.
✔️ Make sure collars and ID tags are on and up to date.
✔️ Close windows, doors, and pet doors.
✔️ Turn on a TV or radio to help mask the noise.
✔️ Never bring pets to fireworks displays.

A few minutes of preparation can prevent days—or even weeks—of searching for a lost pet.

From all of us at SkyScout Animal Search, have a safe and happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸🐶🐱
