On September 25th, a horse went missing during the equestrian competition at the Yunnan Ethnic Games in Lijiang, causing great distress to Larong Zhaba, a competitor from Diqing Prefecture. "It was gone in less than 10 minutes, just a blink of an eye," said Larong Zhaba, the horse's owner. He explained that he bought the horse earlier this year for 280,000 yuan, and it had already won second place in the 1000m, 2000m, and 3000m speed finals at the games, earning three medals.
Larong Zhaba explained that as an athlete representing Diqing Prefecture, he and his teammates participated in the ethnic equestrian event at the 12th Yunnan Provincial Ethnic Games. The lost horse was named "Bole Heifeng" and was the number 57 participating horse.
The Lost "Bole Heifeng" (Images in this article are from: Larong Zhabala) Larong Zhabala recounted that on September 25th, the day the race ended, he and his teammates, leading a total of four horses, returned to their tent near the Yuhu Horse Ranch in Baisha Town, where they had stayed during the race. After tying the horses up outside the tent, they went inside to pack their belongings, planning to return to Diqing Prefecture that day. However, after finishing packing and stepping out of the tent, they discovered that the four horses were nowhere to be found. They began an urgent search around the horse ranch. That day, three horses were found near Yuhu, but "Bole Heifeng" remained missing.
Before the horse that Larong Zhaba bought from someone else for 280,000 yuan went missing, almost all of Larong Zhaba's WeChat Moments and Douyin (TikTok) were about the horse. "I raised it for more than half a year and often took it to competitions." From Shangri-La to Litang and then to Lijiang, Larong Zhaba rode this three-year-old horse all over the place and won many medals.
Having "conquered" far and wide, from Shangri-La to Litang and then to Lijiang, winning numerous medals, Larong Zhaba posted a "missing horse notice" on social media. The main characteristics of this "Bole Black Wind" are: a white pattern between its eyebrows and an orange hada (ceremonial scarf) on its left shoulder. "I have no appetite or rest at all, I'm so worried. We originally planned to return to Diqing on the afternoon of the 25th, but now we can only stay here to look for the horse," said Larong Zhaba.
The horse has already won three medals at this National Games. Currently, in addition to manpower, relevant departments in Lijiang City have also deployed drones and other equipment to assist in the search. "We also hope to use the power of the media to draw more attention to this matter and help us look for it in the fields and forests around us, especially near Baisha Yuhu Village, because the racecourse is located in this area. Thank you," said Larong Zhaba. As of 8:00 AM on September 28th, the missing horse "Bole Heifeng" had still not been found. He hopes that anyone who finds it will contact him as soon as possible, and he will offer a reward. (This article is from The Paper)
