STOLEN TRAILER! Sundowner 3 horse bumper pull horse trailer stolen from Moss Beach Ranch early this morning. License plate # 4BA3452. Last seen head south on highway 1 near Half Moon Bay. White with faded blue strip on front.
Call owner at 650 224 1922 if you have any information. San Mateo County Sheriff has been alerted.
---------------------
More info from the owner:
I'm pretty upset about this whole thing. I can't believe someone takes off with my trailer just like that. The trailer was a white Sundowner trailer, 3 horse slant load, bumper pull, with a faded blue stripe in the front and the sides, the blue stripe is enclosed by a black small stripe above and below. On the front you’ll see the sundowner Logo written out. The license plate is: 4BA3452, it is located near the roof of the trailer. At the time of the theft we had a bunch of brake away hay strings tied to the side of the trailer (blue, green). The backdoors have grey handles that are secured with round karabiner hooks. There are additional black square lights above the back doors and the tack room.
The trailer has a unique safety feature (very expensive to install), it has an extra escape ramp under the window of the first of the 3 slant stalls (Driver side) 1 in 1000 Trailers might have this feature. This is why the first window opens side ways. The other two windows are standard drop down windows. The trailer has a third divider at the end to keep the last horse locked in, with out sitting against the door. This is another custom feature. The wall to the tack room has been moved to allow more room for large horses; the tack room is slightly smaller than in a standard 3 horse slant trailer.
The tack room door is on the passenger side. The tack room has blue carpeting. Next to the door there is a water tank and the 4 tiered saddle rack is in the back of the tack room. The saddle rack can be moved to the other side by pins.
The saddle racks have black plastic carpeting. On the left side there are hooks near the ceiling with black caps. Midway down there is a long blanket bar. On the right side there is a blanket bar close to the ceiling. Below the blanket bar there was a camping table, chairs, a gazebo and an eezy corral. As well as manure forks, buckets, emergency kit, hay bags, foldable wheelbarrow, hoses, several horse blankets, etc.
Please pass the word to any one who might spot it.
A police officer spotted my trailer early Monday, Feb. 28, 2011, (between 5 and 6AM) morning near El Granada near the Easy Mart. It was pulled by a grey/Silver GM or GMC truck. The driver is thought to be a middle aged white Caucasian male. I discovered the theft at 9 AM and reported the trailer stolen.
I'm pretty upset about this whole thing. I can't believe someone takes off with my trailer just like that. I have attached some pictures. If you spot it any where please call 911, or call me 650 224-1922. The worst that can happen is that it’s not my trailer.

I just wanted to thank you both and let you know that I got my trailer back. The workers at Driscoll Ranch spotted it off the beaten path. Bob the manager of Driscoll Ranch called me and informed that the trailer was there. He got the e-mail from SMCHA, and blew it off. He said after seeing the trailer he looked on BAEN and confirmed that it was the trailer.
It was parked below Hwy84, backed up to a bunch of bushes so it was hard to see the license plate. The officer told me that it was a spot where they had found stripped cars in the past. I had to use my 4wheel drive to get it out. Luckily it's in one piece and all my belongings are still in it.
I gave the Ranch workers a nice finder's fee. I think they'll be on the lookout for stolen items for ever. It is amazing how many phone calls and leads I got from the horse community. People called from Nevada, Oregon, Central Valley, etc.
Thank you all so much
Jeanette
awesome!!
