Police hunt miniature pony thief

Police in Clackmannanshire have launched a hunt for a stolen miniature Shetland pony.

The animal, known as Dulcie and which stands just 28 inches tall, was taken from a field at Shavelhaugh Loan, between Alva and Fishcross.



Central Scotland Police said the pony's size was such that someone could simply have reached into the field and carried her off.

The six-month-old pony, which is worth between £800 and £1,000, is described as having long white hair and a slightly orange coloured muzzle with a faint white flash in the centre of the forehead above the eyes.
