RCMP are still looking for leads in the search for Copper, a Shetland pony stolen near Meacham, Sask.
Copper was taken between Sept. 19 and 20.
The pony is brown with a white patch on its head and was wearing a pink halter at the time of the theft.
“Shetland ponies aren’t work horses, they’re a pet,” said cpl. Randy Wittig of the Humboldt RCMP detachment. “It’s like someone stealing your dog,”
It is unclear what the pony is worth or if the thieves would be able to sell it.

The theft has sparked outrage in the community. Phones at the Humboldt RCMP detachment have been “ringing off the hook,” he said.
