The horse was stolen from Clonkeen on the Mountrath Road outside Portlaoise between last night (Thursday, August 10) and this morning (Friday, August 11).
The horse is a 10-year-old mare and is three to four months in foal. Described as 16’2 Hands, a bay mare, dark brown in colour with specks of white on the nose and white socks.
The horse is described as being well groomed and in top condition.
