Urgent Search Underway for Missing Horse in New Forest

A frantic search is on in the New Forest after a horse bolted when its owner took a tumble near Burley Rocks. The horse, unfamiliar with the rugged terrain, vanished around 4 pm, sparking worry among locals and authorities.

Dangerous Terrain Hampering Rescue Efforts

The horse was fully tacked up during the incident. With dense woods, heathlands, and tricky boggy patches, the New Forest’s landscape is making the hunt tough. Fears are growing that the horse might be stuck or tangled in the undergrowth.

Authorities Plead for Thermal Imaging Help

Officials are urgently calling for anyone with thermal cameras or drones—plus the right to fly them—to aid the night search. This high-tech gear could be key to spotting the horse in the dark.

Owner Issues Desperate Plea to the Public

The owner has begged for any info or sightings. If you’ve seen the horse or can help, call 07734 701825 or 01258 880546 immediately.

The local community’s rallying together, showing deep care for all New Forest animals. This isn’t just a lost horse, it’s a fight to protect the wildlife that calls this unique environment home.
