CHICAGO — A nationwide hunt for four horses reported stolen from a stable in northern Illinois has ended after the owner discovered them in a neighbor's yard.

Claudia Hough, owner of Royal Ebony Stable in Spring Grove, says all the horses were found Saturday morning and appeared to be fine.

Hough discovered the four horses missing Friday morning. The horses together were estimated to be worth thousands of dollars.

Hough was offering a $5,000 reward for information that would lead to the horses.

She believes they were stolen because a wooden fence rail was removed, another was cut and a security camera was blacked out during the time of their disappearance.

Hough suspects attention to the story spooked the thieves into releasing the horses nearby.
