Hello - can we forward to you a small donation via Paypal towards the next microlight trip?
Having owned horses in the UK in my younger days I understand what the owners are going through.  (Sadly my pony was killed by a lorry driver who fell asleep at the wheel).
I really do hope the mare and foal are found.  Having looked at the area on google earth maps I can understand how time consuming it must be to get to the search area.   Well done though to all of you for helping to look.  Once again the power of this forum rocks.

Hi everyone, thanks again for all the help.

We have had a call this evening from a guy called Peter.  Peter has a blue RAV 4.  He has had a call from the Orman saying there were 2 sightings today in Yayla Koru.  This is in addition to the sightings reported by Rosie & Peter after thier search in that area this evening.

As Rosie stated they are being joined by Christine for a search at 7am.  They will be leaving the PO garage at 7am if anyone wishes to join in please do.  We seem to be getting closer, lets hope we find them tomorrow.

Had a good search today in Yayla Koru this morning and were told they had been sighted there again last night. We are getting closer with the help of the local people in that village and from Selale restaurant. The villager provided us with a fantastic breakfast.

Search will continue there this evening but we would greatly benefit from 4 by 4 vehicles, our Focus tried it's best which although quite good, began to complain about some of the tough forest tracks. Anyone interested in joining us tonight, now we seem to be getting closer, we are meeting in the square at 6.30pm.

We would also like to use the microlite again as its fairly inexcessible terrain, We need someone to volunteer their services as a spotter and go up with Gustav, I had a fantastic time yesterday and would reccomend it to anyone, the only downside is it will cost you £100.

it would be great to take it out of the Animal Aid money but can you imagine the whispers :D

Like I said a great experience at a very reasonable price, normally its 22mins for £60, yesterday I was up there for an hour and a half.

Any volunteers? also they are going up there in some 4x4 tonight if anyone wants to join them?

Is it worth checking the riding schools?

I am sorry that I am not offering to do this myself but if the ponies are suitable to be riden then maybe they have been taken in!
