Have any Upper Midwest VFBers submitted Horse Tail Streamers or horse wing caddis flies in any recent swaps? Has Buggs been on the loose? Or is this just space aliens with weird hobbies?
Mike M. Police offer reward in horse tail thefts April 4, 2005 TOWN OF LEON, Wis. -- Some horses in central Wisconsin may still be bright eyed, but no longer bushy tailed. Waushara and Portage county sheriff's departments are trying to figure out who is cutting off the tails of some horses. Someone cut off parts of the same horse's tail about four times since January at a town of Leon property, Waushara County Sheriff David Peterson said. And Portage County officials are investigating the theft of the tails of four show horses in the town of Eau Pleine. The horses were not injured and no one has determined a motive. In both counties, the owners described the horses as friendly and all were in pastures when the crimes occurred. The most recent incident occurred at Waushara County rural residence during the evening of March 25. The sheriff's office is offering a cash reward through Waushara County Crime Stoppers, Inc., to anyone who helps solve the case. "Somebody's got to have seen something, or heard something," Peterson said. Portage County officials publicized the incidents in their county in February but received no tips. "We don't know if it's part of some kind of ritual. We have no idea what's going on," Peterson said. Portage County sheriff's Detective Gina Boettcher said the culprits could be after horse hair that is sometimes used for making jewelry, watchbands, or belts. "It's very expensive if you go to buy it," Boettcher said. It takes about a year for the tail hair to grow back, Boettcher said. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 7:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [VFB] PRAYER REQUEST done and done Pete -- "Mike Bliss" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: My pleasure ----- Original Message ----- From: "Allan Fish" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 04, 2005 3:13 PM Subject: [VFB] PRAYER REQUEST > Hi gals & guys, > > A quick request.
