Two ponies and three dogs stolen from My Lovely Horse rescue

The team at My Lovely Horse Animal Rescue said three dogs and two ponies were stolen from their facility on 8 November.

The robbery occurred at about 10:10 pm, with CCTV footage showing three balaclava‑clad men breaking into the farm. Initially only one pony was thought missing, but a later count confirmed a second pony had also been taken.

Co‑founder Martina Kenny told Newstalk’s Lunchtime Live on 10 November that the animals – ponies Lola and Buddy, and dogs Indie, Sarah and Mo – were all chipped and that the theft will force the charity to increase security, including perimeter guards and lights.

Lola, who suffers from Cushing’s disease and requires medication, and Buddy were due to go to their permanent homes within two weeks. Indie is an eight‑year‑old dog terrified of men, Sarah is a younger dog and Mo has recently had puppies.

The Gardaí in Kildare are investigating and have appealed for information. Anyone with details can contact Leixlip Garda Station on 01‑666 7800.
