Nova Quarter Horses
10129 W. 187th St.
Mokena, Illinois 60448

Description of location: Stolen from stall in 60-horse show/lesson barn in a semi-rural (cornfields and subdivisions mixed) area next to I-80 and near Rt. 45 about 30 miles southwest of Chicago, between Chicago and Joliet.

DESCRIPTION OF HORSE:
Name: IN A SPIN
Breed: American Quarter Horse
Registration: American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA)
Sex: Stallion
Age: 8-years-old
Size: about 15 hands tall
Color: Sorrel (reddish-brown chestnut) body, mane, and tail (mane and tail may appear darker than body)
Markings: No white, but a graying patch on right side of neck. Scar under right eye. Other small scars may be visible on face.

Appearance when last seen: Long, full mane hanging on left side of neck. Rather high tail carriage, and hangs a little crooked. Tail is thin (for a showhorse), but slick haircoat. Solidly built, with thicker neck and heavy shoulders tapering to slimmer loins and hips. He is a reining horse, and was wearing slider shoes in the rear. He has a noticeable resemblance to his sire TOPSAIL CODY.

Way of going: IN A SPIN is trained as a reining horse, which means that he is a handy horse who neck reins very well, and has (to the trained eye) a slope to his hip and hock characteristic of a horse that drops his hind quarters to slide stop. He is quick on his feet, spins around fast, turns quickly, changes leads easily. These things distinguish him from a pleasure horse, hunter/jumper, etc.

Attitude: He is very broke and friendly with no bad stall habits. He may jerk his head up quickly if someone lifts his hand quickly toward his face.
