Anyone 18 years of age (or wiser) can join the organization. Living in Goshen or owning a horse is not required. We welcome all who wish to have fun, meet new people, participate in parades, and provide a public service by assisting in the recovery of stolen property when called upon.

    Although we anticipate serving in  a support role at special events or when asked by township officials, the Goshen Horse-Thief Detectives Ltd.  is NOT affiliated with Goshen Township or any other law enforcement agency.

    Our mission is diverse. The primary focus is on developing awareness of, and participation in equine events and activities. We also participate is selected parades in uniform and sponsor events for the community. 

We are registered with the Ohio Secretary of State as a Limited Liability Company (non-profit) (certificate #201004100125). We have also applied for 501(c)(3) status, which would allow us to seek private foundation grants and would also make contributions to the organization (including dues) tax exempt.

From a law enforcement perspective, is the inventory of all horses/mules, tack and other protected property in the region, so that stolen items can be identified and returned to their owner, and that those involved in the theft will be prosecuted and punished by the appropriate authorities.
