THE owner of a riding school offered a £1,000 reward after seven saddles were stolen from his home.

Three youths wearing baseball caps were spotted loading a Nikon camera and the saddles, all with bridles and bits, into a green van.

The van was parked in owner Jack Birnie's drive, on Haslingden Road, Guide.
