A horse belonging to a Paso Robles man was stolen from the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds in Lancaster.
 
Last weekend, Chad Krainock took his horse Scorpion to a professional steer wrestling competition.  Sometime late in the rodeo Saturday night, the horse, who is valued at $30,000, vanished without a trace. 
  
13-year old Scorpion is described as:
-Quarter Horse Gelding
-15.1 hands
-1100 lbs.
-Solid Bay with no white markings

Some tips for horse owners to prevent horses from being stolen include: be alert in unfamiliar places, lock stalls or surrounding areas if not in a familiar area, use freeze branding or tattoos for identification, have current papers on hand, and if the horse goes missing, report it ASAP.
