WINTER HAVEN, FL -- The Polk County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in finding two stolen horses and a stolen horse trailer. The trailer has Florida license tag 739 NPH.

"Sometime between 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 19th, and 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 20th, 2019, unknown suspect(s) cut the padlock on the chained gate at the entrance to the fenced pasture south of 2130 Crump Road in Winter Haven, entered the property, loaded two horses onto the victim's horse trailer and stole the animals and the trailer," the sheriff's office said Wednesday night.

The stolen horses include a 25-year-old bay gelding quarter horse and an 18-year-old gray quarter horse. The thieves also got away with four saddles, bridles, ropes and other supplies.

"The horse trailer is a gray-colored, three-horse slant, steel structure with a tack room on the front," the sheriff's office said. "The trailer was attached to an unknown type vehicle and evidence at the scene indicates the vehicle left the area heading west towards Winter Haven."
