A REWARD has been offered by a horse owner after two of her animals were stolen from a Worcestershire field.

The pair were taken from a patch of land in Hillditch Lane, in Hartlebury, near Stourport-on-Severn, in the early hours of Saturday.

Jackie Crew, their owner, has put up £1,000 for information leading to their return.

"We're devastated. They are our lives because we haven't any children and we just want them back as quickly as possible," Miss Crew, of Oak Apple Close, Stourport-on-Severn, said this morning.

She said a padlock to the field was cut off and two fences had been cut through, adding that a neighbour heard neighing at about 6am.

One of the horses, 23-year-old Kelly, is a mid-bay thoroughbred gelding, 15.2 hands high and has a freeze mark of "16R3" on its back.

The other is a 10-year-old, dark-bay mare called Sprout which is 15 hands high with scarring under its front two legs from an operation.

Anyone with information can call Miss Crew on 07799496385.
