The owner should be fully responsible for all rescue fees and efforts and then fined for animal abandonment. Shouldn't matter if they bucked him off or if they were crazy horses or maybe just the owner is crazy, but there still are more humane ways to discard your pets!!! If there was an emergency or accident it could of been dealt with before the snow fell too much. Do they still have the tack on or were they turned out loose?

![]() | Re: Horse Rescue up the Renshaw I can agree with all in this situation. Its always amazing to see people coming together to help someone or something. My only concern is about this trench that is being dug. Will it get filled back in. I really wouldnt want see the aftermath of someone hitting a six foot hole. It would be really hard to see with a little scuff of snow. |

![]() | Re: Horse Rescue up the Renshaw Just going to throw this out there, I'm sure someone has already probably thought of it, but would it not be possible for the groomer to pull up a small 1 or 2 place horse trailer if there were some skis made to go on or in place of the tires? Would only take a couple hours and some welding to build and be alot more familiar to the horses and less expensive than the chopper. |

Not to worry. A bird is most likely not an option at this time and if we get them to to trail we may have to close the trail for a short time to get them down to the parking lot. Will see in the next couple of days.

The horses are there....they are alive.....and in consentual agreement that they have enough left in them to be helped.....of course putting them down was an option but the latter was chosen once they were found. There is no concern as to the cost of taking them on once out, there is a local line-up to keep these horses permanently. Everyone is donating their time, resources including food etc. to work on the issue at hand. The helicopter company is on board based on decisions we make at the end of today (as to the success of using the roadbuilding mats) and yes, the expected costs are quoted at well over $5000 of which the heli company will contribute a percentage. As to my latest conversation with the SPCA, they would like to avoid the use of a helicopter at the moment (and once again this will be dealt with according to today's progress). As mentioned the groomer is on board as well, and possible arrangements include hooking up a trailer if possible to transport them out the 30 kms. So today will find us with new advancements or set-backs and we will all deal with them as we do in this little, wonderful town! Thank you ALL soooo much! Sara Olofsson McBride |

Still waiting to hear from the chopper company-unless has someone else been in touch today and got a return call??? Will phone again in the next few minutes. Frig......nothing quite like dial up. Sorry didn't see your last post Sara re. chopper nice to see that we're all on board with this.

![]() | Re: Horse Rescue up the Renshaw Here's a pic we took of the horses back on Nov 11. Only seen the 2 of them then, so if there was 3 it died earlier. Glad to see there is finally an effort to get them out, not surprised to hear a lawyer was involved in this, out for himself and that's it, that's why they are the scum of the earth. I hope when all is said and done someone takes the owner and this lawyer to court for their stupidity. Kudos to all involved in this effort. |

![]() | Re: Horse Rescue up the Renshaw Got word from Yellowhead Helicopters in Valemount who have got multiple calls today from other concerned locals regarding the removal of the horses. I see that Sara has recently posted some other info about costs/spca and so don't want to step on toes. There are obviously a few of us working on some solutions and there are some great guys working up there right now who I think would also like to know what's going on once they get down. A few things in my conversation with the fellow from Yellowhead was having to use a bigger machine hence the bigger price tag, the horses must be sedated, another factor of course is the wind chill on these guys (flying through the air at -20 brrrr just thinking about it), the helicopter does not need to land but will long line instead if there is someone ready to clip them in. He figures 25 minutes back and forth between cabin area (or bowl) to the staging area. 2 hours total flying time. I keep mentioning this, but these horses are now getting food, and as a friend and fellow snowandmudder said, these guys could end up being very well taken care of all winter by other snow and mudders and I believe it when I read everyones' major support for this.

There are some key people who have been dealing with these horses since Sunday, who probably have a lot to say. What do you think???

![]() | Re: Horse Rescue up the Renshaw Just a quick update! SPCA will be in contact with me tonight after I get the run-down from Matt. There are developments with helicopters and the like, and we'll see what tomorrow brings. |

has anyone notified any other news publications, or other media? they would be all over this, not only as a xmas "feelgood" story about efforts of the volunteers and community spirit shown by the area residents, but maybe in the interest of justice as well..... |
