The Thurston County Sherriff's department is looking for any information on the whereabouts of four horses that were reported missing from a pasture in Rochester.

• 16-year-old mare, 15 hands, an Arabian thoroughbred - brown with white blaze and four white socks

• 9-month-old foal, 13-and-a-half hands, an Arabian thoroughbred named 'Spirit' - brown with white blaze

• 3-year-old mare, 16 hands, a thoroughbred named 'Princess' - brown

• 3-year-old gelding, 16 hands, a thoroughbred named 'Beo' - brown

More details of the apparent theft can be found here:

I have added the information the Sheriffs department provided on the color and markings of the missing horses. Keep in mind they are non-horse people. I suspect "brown" means bay and "Arabian thoroughbred" could mean either an Arabian that is purebred or an Anglo-Arab.
