If you find two stray horses, you can earn 10,000 kroner
Two horses ran off from a property nine days ago. Despite a Facebook post and a reward of 10,000 kroner, they have not been found.

Lars Rasmussen still doesn't understand what happened. He is a riding instructor at a rural property near Løkken in North Jutland, which has now had two fewer horses in the paddock for nine days.
Somehow, two older horses broke through the fence on June 12.
- Why in the world is it only two that have run off? Horses are extreme herd animals, so there must be something that really scared them, says Lars Rasmussen.
The two horses normally move around in a herd of nine.
The owners have driven around the area many times to search for them. They have also been out at night with a thermal imaging camera. Lars Rasmussen and an acquaintance with a small plane have even been in the air to search.
- We flew around for an hour. We've been everywhere 50 times. We drive around every day, but we haven't seen a trace of them.

The horses have been sought after in a Facebook post, which has so far been shared over 1,300 times.
Yesterday, the owners decided to offer a reward of 10,000 kroner to whoever finds them, but that hasn't yielded results either.
Perhaps there is still a little hope, because four days ago the two horses returned to where they ran off from. At least, tracks from them have been found, says Lars Rasmussen.
The problem was just that he had repaired the fence after they broke out, so when they returned, they couldn't get back in.
And since then, they have disappeared without a trace again.
- We're starting to run out of places to search. But we keep believing, says Lars Rasmussen.
