Search is on for beloved missing horse

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- A community is coming together near Port St. Lucie to help find a horse.

Gemini has been missing in the Bluefield Ranch Preserve since June 29.

"He just got spooked, turned left into an open area and when he did, the saddle slid off and went underneath," said Gemini's owner, Dave Doubleday.
 
That was the last time the Doubledays saw their horse.

The animal taking off into the Bluefield Ranch Preserve near Port St. Lucie more than a week ago. Since then, they've looked for him every day.

The park caretaker and director, several St. Lucie County Sheriff's deputies and dozens of community members on horseback and foot also helping without success.

"There have been os many people interested in this to help and I can't thank them enough," Doubleday said.

"The real problem is the size of the preserve -- about 3,300 acres. The trip taking someone on horseback from edge to edge is at least an hour.

There is enough water and food on the preserve for Gemini, but the Doubledays worry he could be injured. They found his stirrups, but fear his saddle, reins and bit are still on him.    

The Doubledays have put up note cards so searchers can leave sightings of Gemini.

They are determined to find their horse no matter how long it takes.

"I'm going to find him. There's no doubt about it. It's just what state, what condition is what concerns me the most," Doubleday said.
