Kidnapped in 1982, presumed dead. Shergar was a great race horse, and because of his suprising abduction had a movie made about him.
It is believed that Shergar was kidnapped by members of the I.R.A. to be held for ransom. One theory is that after taking him, he proved to be unmanagable and they destroyed him after he injured himself. (At least he sired one crop of foals before his disappearance. Approx. 40 foals were born in 1983.)
