While I agree that its nice to have a piece of journalism that shows both sides.....I'm still unconvinced that Mr. Lawyer man is telling any kind of truths!? How did 2 horses (supposedly bound for the slaughter house) that originally cost him $300 suddenly become a $30,000.00 investment...
Great useful info guys! probably heading up to Valemount with a group that has never been in the Mountains yet, in March and have been wondering about good "Mountain" beginner spots! :) thanks again!
Yeah.....I'm a glass half full kind of person.....always try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt before condemning, but in my mind if this guy took 3 horses in he should have had the ability/competence/willingness to get 3 horses out. And in this case why the hell didn't he tell someone...
Not unusual to be riding one and have 2 pack horses depending on how much gear a person packs in.... Read at the beginning of this whole thing that there were initially 3 horses spotted but only 2 survived long enough to be rescued.....
just heard about this tragedy this morning!! I sure hope that some good news comes from this as well! It breaks my heart every time I hear of something like this! It has come close to home in recent past and my thoughts and prayers go out to the people still trapped and to all their families!
I would like to send out a heartfelt congratulations and well wishes to everyone that has been involved with this rescue! I was so happy to hear that the horses are finally free and can begin their long recovery! I've been a horse girl since forever and was mad and saddened by the whole...
It truly sickens me that people will do the things that they do to animals that have entrusted themselves to said people! I am a horse lover (any animal lover really) from way back and it warms my heart to hear of all the people that are working so very hard to save these horses. I am...
thanks for the info! I see that I typed wrong saying that my group was all new to sledding! ha!ha! not so! We are all avid snowmobilers!! :) have all the sleds and trailers....just don't want to have to Jet my own sled.... plus its a short track!?! :P
Hey planning a trip to the Mountains in February! Does anyone have any good info and advice regarding the Fernie area!?
Most of the group will be new to the Mountains but definitely not new to snowmobiling!
May have to rent a sled as well if anyone has info on sled rentals out there too?! :)
Was wondering the same thing! looking into booking a trip to Fernie and wondering if anyone has any insight or info?! Not newbie riders but all would be new to the mountains. Looking for adventure and fun and not afraid to go off the beaten path! :)
Hey from snowless Lloydminster!!!!
What can i say.....love to snowmobile! and will be looking for a new ride come next season! for now I'm riding a 2002 Polaris XC 800 SP, short track. Love it though! Gets me where I need to go and efficiently at that! Going to venture to the mountains this...
