Maryland cowboy searching for stolen horse trailer
CLINTON, Md. – A real-life cowboy is on the lookout for clues after his horse trailer was reportedly stolen from Piscataway Horse Farm in Prince George’s County.
Police say the trailer was taken between 10 a.m. on Friday, July 12, and noon on Sunday, July 14.
Investigators confirmed the theft occurred at the farm but noted the absence of surveillance cameras in the area, except for one down the street, which did not capture any useful footage.
Jason Davis, a Clinton resident and the trailer’s owner, expressed his frustration and loss.
“Sunday, I pulled back up to the stable and I realized that the trailer was gone. For a hot second, I thought maybe somebody borrowed it, but then I was like, ‘Oh, it’s locked up, somebody done stole it,” Davis told FOX 5.
The stolen trailer, valued between $11,000 and $12,000, contained equipment worth an additional $3,000 to $4,000.
Davis, who has been a cowboy in the DMV area for 15 years, described the trailer as containing his “whole career.”
Davis shared pictures of the trailer with FOX 5, hoping someone might recognize it or have information on its whereabouts.
Despite the setback, he noted the support from the horsing community as he prepares for upcoming shows.
Prince George’s County police confirmed the theft, and they are investigating.
Davis emphasized that while the trailer is insured, many of the items collected over the years are irreplaceable.
“All of my equipment, just shy of my saddle … My saddles are the only thing that’s at my house. Everything else; the bridles, ropes, spurs, chest plates… I mean everything that I’ve acquired probably in the last 15 years is inside that trailer,” Davis said.
FOX 5 reached out to the Piscataway Horse Farm for comment, and owners say they’ve never had an incident in their 47 years in business. They also confirmed that there are no surveillance cameras on the premises.

Could Maryland Gov. Wes Moore become a vice presidential candidate?
BALTIMORE – Maryland Gov. Wes Moore quelled a notion last month that he would make a run for the Democratic presidential nomination if President Biden were to end his 2024 campaign.
But now that Biden announced he won’t seek a second term, the Democrats will be working fast to find a challenger for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
With a little more than three months until the Nov. 5 election day, Vice President Kamala Harris is likely the front-runner to become the Democratic nominee. Moore will endorse Harris as the Democratic nominee, according to CBS News.
So, would Moore consider being a vice presidential candidate?
CBS News suggested that Moore could be a possible pick as Harris’s running mate.
The list also consists of Democrats Gretchen Whitmer (Michigan), Gavin Newsom (California), Josh Shapiro (Pennsylvania), Roy Cooper (North Carolina), Raphael Warnock (Georgia) and Pete Buttigieg (Transportation Secretary), among others.
Moore has not commented on his interest in a vice presidential campaign.
However, he shared his support for Biden in a statement on X, formerly Twitter.
“President Biden has dedicated his life and career to serving the American people,” Moore said. “His legacy of hard work, dedication, optimism, and strength have shaped the trajectory of our nation – and made us better as a people and as a country.”
“This is a man deeply in love with his family, his country, and the promise of America. As a governor, I look to him as an exemplar of true leadership. As an American, I look to him as an embodiment of our shared values of freedom, decency, and patriotism.”
“Maryland has had a stalwart ally and tireless friend in President Biden. We could not have delivered such enormous progress for 6.3 million Marylanders without his and Vice President Harris’ leadership and support. Together, we’ve created nearly 40,000 jobs, made historic investments in our state’s infrastructure, and seen the most significant drop in crime in a generation. And when the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed on the early morning of March 26, President Biden rallied with the people of our state. Together, we proved what it means to be Maryland Tough and Baltimore Strong.”
“Our state and our country are back on track with the help of this administration, and we know that President Biden will continue to have Maryland’s back as he focuses solely on fulfilling his duties as president for the rest of his term. I thank him and Dr. Jill Biden for their unwavering loyalty to us, it will never be forgotten.”
Moore, 45, defeated Dan Cox in the 2022 gubernatorial election to become Maryland’s 63rd governor.
He served in the United States Army and earned his Bachelor’s Degree at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
Moore has been influential in securing the Baltimore Orioles’ agreement to remain at Camden Yards, pardoning more than 175,000 marijuana convictions, overseeing the legalization of recreational marijuana, a voice in the deadly Key Bridge collapse and the impact on the Port of Baltimore, and the continued fight against gun violence and support for gender-affirming healthcare and abortion rights.
Now that President Joe Biden will no longer run for a second term, what happens next?
With a little more than three months until election day, the Democrats will work fast to nominate a challenger for Donald Trump.
