HOUSTON - A Houston-area horse owner is asking for the public's help after his beloved miniature horse, Peanut, was stolen from his property on July 23.

Terry Jordan says horses have been a big part of his life for the last four decades. He had 13, now he has 12.
His beloved miniature horse, named Peanut, was stolen on the night of July 23.
Peanut
A neighbor's surveillance camera captured a white truck and someone inside that truck lured Peanut to an unlocked gate.
Peanut means the world to Terry. He says Peanut and another horse were born while he was battling Stage 4 cancer.
While undergoing radiation treatment, Terry says he didn't care if he lived or died, but knowing the baby horses needed him gave him a reason to live.
Peanut is unique and worth quite a bit of money. He's small, Terry says, and has dark blue eyes.
It's not about the money as far as Terry is concerned, he just wants Peanut back home.
"Can't sleep, can't get your mind off of it," he said.
What would Terry say to the thief?
"Bring him back home. I'm not going to ask any questions whatsoever," he said. "I'm sure he was yelling when he left, just bring him back."
What you can do:
Anyone with information about Peanut should contact the Houston Police Department or Crime Stoppers.
