The Real Story of Shergar the Super Horse: 2. Thieves in the Night
About this episode
A cold and stormy night in Ireland is made even more terrifying by the presence of armed and masked men.
“We’ve come to take Shergar, we want £2,000,000”
Kidnappings were not unusual in Ireland at this time, except most of the time it was humans that were taken... some never came back.
Who would want a horse? A stallion that no longer raced?
