Four of the five horses stolen earlier this month from Southern Arkansas University's rodeo team have been recovered in woods in southeast Oklahoma. No one was with the horses when they were found late Tuesday by SAU's rodeo team coach and a team member. One horse remains missing. University officials said they have suspects in the thefts, but they would not provide specifics. They would not say whether the horses were stolen as part of a college prank or if there was something sinister. The horses were underfed and one was painted camouflage, SAU Police Chief Eric Plummer said at a news conference on Wednesday. The horses were found near the community of Tom in McCurtain County, Okla., Plummer said. They were tied to a tree when they were found, one student said, but there were indications the horses had been moved frequently. Plummer said the horses were in poor condition, noting their ribs were showing. Three of the horses are back home. One has been taken to a veterinarian for treatment. The missing horse is a 15-year-old gelding named Credit Card. The horses and saddles, blankets and other tack were stolen earlier this month. A livestock trailer taken with the equipment was recovered on Nov. 3, and some of other equipment was found last Thursday near where the four horses were later found. The horses are owned by Southern Arkansas students who are members of the collegiate rodeo team. They were taken on Nov. 2.
