AN appeal for the return of a stolen foal is being renewed by its heartbroken owner.

The brother and friend of Ruth Barnes have put up a reward of £200 for the safe return of Echo, which was stolen from a field at the family's home in Hurst Green Farm, Lench Road, Waterfoot, on May 8 when it was just three-weeks old.

Despite appeals in the press, posters and searching nearby fields, Ruth's mum Ina said: "Nothing has been heard of Echo and we have had no calls from people saying they may have seen him."

Echo is grey with a white blaze on his face and white socks on both back legs.

If anyone has any information they are asked to contact the family on 01706 213748 ot the police on 01706 237442.
