Make sure you've told all your neighbouring police forces too - they don't always talk to each other and if the ponies have wandered across a police boundary it might take a while for the police to realise that the ones they've found are the ones you're looking for. Find out where the local police pound is too and try there.
Good luck xxxx |

Sending you all good wishes and really hoping that they are just in a field somewhere - we used to have a houdini who used to let himself out, let the others out and then open the gate - three times our lot were found safe in fields up to 4 miles away, so fingers crossed and huge hugs  |

UPDATE
The little rascals are home!
What a night we had. I had just finished seeing to all the other animals and it was getting dark when a 4x4 rolled up and a very nice lady got out. She said "have you lost 5 little ponies".... I said YES, have you found them? She said she had and I am ashamed to say I burst into tears and gave her a great big hug. I think she thought I was bonkers! It transpired that all my wonderful neighbours had been texting everyone they knew to look out for these little houdini's and check out all the fields. This lady had received such a text and wouldn't have taken much notice (she said) except that she had found "little mini poos" on her very clean yard and fortunately put 2 & 2 together. She went searching and found they had gone under the electric fence and were in a VERY VERY large field with their cattle!! They were not visible from the farm (down a big steep hill) and this lady and her fiance were just about to disappear to Shrilanka to get married! We wouldn't have found them for 2 weeks. (My other half had been searching fields all day and even sheep and calves were beginning to look like mini horses by dusk!)
The hooligans had obviously wandered in a completely different direction from when they were last seen. They had chosen this ladies very posh farm to have a holiday! We followed her down her new pristine drive and, with the help of Martin her fiance, we eventually rounded them up (they didn't want to leave this big field). We walked them home, up and down hills, and by the time I got them home I was exhausted, ringing wet with the effort but so, so happy and relieved.
I cannot thank everyone enough for all your helpful advice and good wishes. I had made lots of posters, but fortunately didn't need to put them up. I will take a photo of the gang so you can all see them.
Thank you all again.
I just need to concentrate on how to deal with bowel cancer now!
Luv Jan and all the minis |

Oh this is really great news! Awesome timing as well considering that the lady was about to go on holiday for 2 weeks, imagine the dread that would have set in after all that time!
So pleased for you. Naughty little mites - we definitely have to see piccies of the offenders!
Now get some rest!
Still sending lots of these your way |

Little Devil,s  
But hey, they are back, safe and sound.
You have probably made some new friends, and have a story to tell for several years to come.
Ponies will be ponies, for those of us that have had dealings with them. Clever little .... ones......  Bless em
Joking apart, I am so pleased for you. |
