A man from Washington state was arrested for attempting to hire a prostitute for himself and his miniature horse, according to The Smoking Gun. Jad Shipman, 48, used the online site TNABoard to contact potential escorts. He offered $440 to a user identified as Diane to have a sexual encounter with him and his miniature horse. Shipman referred to himself as TheMalamute on the site and used an email address with the phrase hotmare.
Explicit messages sent by Shipman to Diane were provided to the police as evidence. In these messages, Shipman expressed his desire to watch someone engage in sexual activity with his miniature horse while he participated. Shipman admitted to being the user TheMalamute and confessed to soliciting Diane for this purpose. He explained that he chose Diane because she posted in the “Fetish” section of the website, hoping she would be more willing to participate.
During the investigation, it was revealed that Shipman had previous sexual contact with animals. When the police visited Shipman’s property, they discovered two miniature horses. Shipman and his wife had purchased the property for $365,000 back in 2019. Shipman was released on $1,000 bail but was ordered to have no contact with animals.
