A Houston-area horse breeder is asking for the public’s help after his miniature horse, Peanut, was taken from his property near the Heights. The owner says the horse was stolen on July 23 and is now pleading for information that could bring Peanut home.

According to the report, surveillance video captured a white truck in connection with the theft. That footage is now central to the search, as the owner tries to identify who took the miniature horse and where Peanut may have been taken.

The case has drawn attention because of Peanut’s small size and the emotional bond between the horse and his owner. What might seem unusual as a theft has become a deeply personal loss for the breeder, who described the situation as urgent and heartbreaking.

As the search continues, the owner is relying on visibility and community awareness in hopes that someone recognizes the truck, the horse, or suspicious activity from that day. For now, the focus remains on finding Peanut and returning the miniature horse safely to his Houston-area home.
