A HORSE box used by an autistic girl to show her pony has been stolen by callous thieves.
Mckenzie, aged 15, is usually very shy but is "completely different" when she is on her horse Wotsit 2 You and is devastated by the theft.
Mckenzie has worked "very hard" with seven-year-old Wotsit and together they have grown into an "amazing team".
Mum Melita Pascoe said: "Her confidence when she goes out competing is amazing and something I wasn't sure she would be able to do but she has proved us all wrong with him.
"The first few years have been very challenging for both of them but she never gave up.
"Last year she took him to nearly every show she could in the trailer and next year she was hoping to go away to a horse camp with him.
"Everyone who knows Kenz knows how passionate she is with her horse and the theft of her trailer has been very upsetting especially just before Christmas, it will be a few years before we could afford to buy another trailer."
The Ifor Willians 511 black horse trailer was taken from the Cornwood area on Sunday, December 13 from the Cornwood area.
The box may have been taken by a dark-coloured Land Rover.
The horse box was data tagged, with a black tack box inside and chequered plating below the jockey door.
The box is unique as the horse unloads on the left instead of the right and has a broken lower jockey door.
The registration is WJ13 EKH.
