The Whittier Narrows Equestrian Center is seeking help in locating two stolen horses, Obama and Coronel, who were taken from the facility in early April. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded to the owners’ report of the missing horses on April 3, and the owners believe the theft occurred late at night or early in the morning. Obama has health issues that require immediate medical attention, and both horses are black, with Coronel having a branding mark on his left hip.
The owners of the stolen horses are offering a reward for information that will help them locate Obama and Coronel. They are deeply concerned for the safety of the horses and are asking anyone who has seen them or has information about their whereabouts to contact them immediately. Contact information for providing tips on the missing horses is provided in a flyer released by the owners, who are grateful for any help in bringing the horses home safely.
Anyone with information on the stolen horses is urged to contact Aby at (323) 430-0101 or Elias at (626) 428-6575. The owners of Obama and Coronel are appreciative of any assistance in locating the horses and are offering a reward for information that leads to their safe return. Matthew Rodriguez, a digital producer for CBS Los Angeles, reported on the theft of the horses and is covering the story of their disappearance.
