When it happened
“This is a great loss to me,” said Hitchen on the weekend that Hasty Hobo died.
The horse had last been seen alive on the afternoon of December 3 by Hitchen’s girlfriend Amy Liscomb. She had gone to the paddock to fetch another horse at about 3:30 p.m. Shortly after that sighting Liscomb heard shooting from the direction of the Thornton River, which borders Hitchen’s property. Gunshots in the woods are a common Rappahannock sound in the fall, and Liscomb was not concerned. She returned to the paddock at 4:30 p.m. and didn’t see Hasty Hobo with the other horses. According to Hitchen, it was not unusual for some of the horses to be out of sight occasionally.
That was all normal. The next morning when she went out there and didn’t see my horse, she knew something was wrong,” said Hitchen. Liscomb went looking for Hasty Hobo, and found him dead.
Hitchen took the horse’s body to the Virginia State Veterinary Laboratory in Warrenton.
