However, five minutes later, the camera started shaking and turned off.
On the north side of the property, police said the fence had been cut so the suspect could go in and take the horses.
In the police report, the victim said the horses had just been brought to the property the day they were taken and the victims believe the suspects may have seen the horses while driving by, before stealing them.
The arrest affidavit explains that 18-year-old Kenneth Colston stole one of the horses on December 12 and traded the horse in Stroud.
It later explains Colston and two others snuck back onto the property two days later through the cut fence and stole the other three horses.
