Additional information was not immediately available.

The missing horse was the second animal-related incident the McHenry County Sheriff's Office dealt with last week.

The sheriff's office also was helping to track down a loose bull. It was eventually found Thursday in the vegetation between South Union Road and South Grant Highway in Marengo, according to the sheriff's office.

The bull had escaped from a nearby ranch. After he was spotted, several ranchers surrounded him on horseback and roped him.
