One user wrote: ‘Amanda just call or message – let us know you are ok. Everyone is missing you and worried. Come home – your horse is missing you too.

‘We are still waiting for directive from the police on where best to focus the search efforts for Amanda Hull. There is a huge amount of people wanting to help search, which is great.

‘Until we receive any further detail from the police the only thing we can suggest is to search all of Droitwich, Ombersley and surrounding areas.’

They continued: ‘Please avoid Haye Lane, Ombersley. This is where she was last seen and there is still a heavy police presence.

‘Any roads and public footpaths between Ombersley and Droitwich would also be a good focal point.’

Another said: ‘Amanda is still missing. Anyone out walking Droitwich/Ombersley area please look out for her.

‘She’s vulnerable and usually spends the whole day on the yard with her horse with the same routine so for her not to do that is out of character.’
