No horse owner should face a missing horse alone.

A horse recovery network is a prepared community system for sharing verified horse identification records and regional missing horse alerts before a horse is lost, stolen, loose, or missing. It helps owners, trainers, barns, and neighbors move accurate information faster during a horse recovery effort.

The REIN Recovery Network is a horse recovery network built to help horse owners, trainers, and barns create verified horse profiles, maintain recovery-ready records, and participate in missing horse alert, lost horse alert, and stolen horse alert workflows before an emergency happens.

If your horse is missing, confirm the last known location, check nearby gates, roads, pastures, trails, and barns, contact appropriate local authorities when needed, gather recent photos and horse identification records, send a clear missing horse alert, and share verified updates as facts change.

A missing horse alert should include the horse name, recent photos, color, breed, sex, age, markings, microchip or brand information, horse registration papers when available, last known location, date and time last seen, contact instructions, and whether the situation is lost, stolen, loose, or missing.

Every horse owner should keep current photos, horse markings, microchip records, brand details, horse registration papers, proof of ownership, owner records, emergency contacts, veterinarian information, handling notes, and a prepared horse recovery file that can support a missing horse alert.

You can identify a missing horse with current photos, unique markings, scars, brands, microchip records, registration papers, color, breed, sex, age, and ownership records. A verified horse profile keeps those details organized so they are easier to share during a horse recovery effort.

A verified horse profile is an organized horse profile that keeps identification records, photos, markings, microchip information, registration details, owner contacts, emergency contacts, and last-known location details in one recovery-ready file.

Lost horse alerts work by sharing verified information about a missing or loose horse with the people most likely to see it, including nearby horse owners, barns, trainers, veterinarians, farriers, feed stores, and local community groups.

Stolen horse alerts focus on quickly sharing verified ownership, identification, microchip, brand, registration, location, and contact details while the owner also works with appropriate law enforcement, brand inspectors, and local authorities.

Network+ is designed to help owners and trainers prepare and send regional missing horse alerts, lost horse alerts, stolen horse alerts, and loose horse alerts faster with organized profile details.
