Thanks to the speed of the Internet, NetPosse can round up a modern-day version of a posse within minutes of filing a report. An alert and call to action are sent to a network of organizations, individuals, businesses, law enforcement, and recovery specialists bent on returning your lost equine or property. Irrespective of your riding discipline or breed preferences, NetPosse is there to help you recover your missing equine, or better yet, NetPosse is there to help keep your equine partner safe and where he belongs. We encourage all equestrians to be proactive in protecting their property and animals. Our website not only provides valuable tips on theft and loss prevention but is also ready to assist should a recovery be necessary. We work with stolen, lost, found, missing, searching for horses, equine history, and more at Stolen Horse International. If it is lost or found, we try to help.

Stolen Horse International, Inc./NetPosse.com is happy to offer the NetPosse ID Registry, a database for horses and other animal owners worldwide! What is the NetPosse ID Registry? NetPosse ID is the cornerstone of Stolen Horse International's horse ID registry and the world's most advanced equine identification database. It is designed to protect your horse and other animals with confidence. In other words, this is not just an equine microchip database for your horse! Animal owners are encouraged to register their dogs, cats, horses, or other animals so that their information is recorded in case their animal is ever missing or stolen. NetPosse ID is an all-breed, all-discipline registry that identifies its members' horses, dogs, cats, and other pets should they become lost or stolen. Formerly titled NetPosse Identification Program (NIP), NetPosse ID Registry is a service provided by Stolen Horse International, Inc./NetPosse.com, the first and only nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection of all equines, providing the owners with a detailed history and ID protection. All NetPosse IDs give your horse a chance to be found. They also give owners peace of mind that they have offered protection to help their horses return home. The new NetPosse ID is now available for Dogs, Cats, and other domestic and farm animals. One system now caters to your needs and provides advanced record keeping, data management, and cost management for your beloved animals or working stock.

EDUCATION BRIEF: Sometimes, we post information on this page that may help horse owners in various ways.

Occasionally, even though we do not name the names of alleged villains, they out themselves on a post. Instead of deleting the posts, we reserve the right to turn them into case study posts. We encourage the public to follow the posts to learn more about what not to do wrong in the future that could put them in a similar situation.
