BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Two years ago, Jay Mercer got his daughter, Kingsley Mercer, a pony when she was five years old.
“One thing I’ve learned is for whatever reason, little girls love their horses,” said Jay Mercer.
Instantly, Kingsley fell in love with ‘Razzle’.
Together, the two competed in the Kern County Fair’s Junior Rodeo.
“Razzle is my first pony, and when we went to the fair and we came back the next day, she wasn’t there,” said Kingsley.
But after the first day of competing, Razzle was no longer in her stable.
“They took her halters and there were footprints in her pen so we knew that she had been stolen,” said Jay Mercer.
