Listened to an article about this on CBC Radio. Brigit had a great interview. I guess there is book being written about the whole thing.

Wonder who will play mackay in the movie?

Mike Wiegle?????:d

Well boys and girls you can all be very proud of the huge roll you all played in rescuing those horses. Belle looks so amazing, I was honored to get to ride with her, it brings tears to my eyes knowing what she looked like before, She knows too her eyes tell you she says thank you! Even with all the crap out there we could still take time to help two innocent horses and they will never forget it and neither will I! HUGS

This is too weird....I was thinking of the Renshaw horses today and lo and behold I see this updated thread on Belle & Sundance. I'll be one of the first to order my copy of the book! I still think about the people of McBride and how they all stepped up to the plate and help save these horses, you are awesome!!:party2:

A very nice choice of co-writer:

Lawrence Scanlan is the author of nine books -- six about horses. He worked closely with Monty Roberts on their bestseller, The Man Who Listens to Horses. He lives, and rides, in Kingston, Ontario.

Description:

Next morning, a party of four from the nearby town of McBride was sent back up the mountain with a bale of hay, a handgun and a heartbreaking choice to make: either feed the horses, or shoot them.

Ordered my copy from Amazon,ca today

I have been following this story on snow and mud as The 2 new recreation I took up this year were snowmobiling and horse riding.

Its great to hear of a story with a happy ending, and one that puts faith back in human nature

Well done to all those that were involved in the rescue and the rehabilitation of Belle and Sundance

Went to Amazon....appears to be the cheapest:

Temporarily out of stock.
Order now and we'll deliver when available. We'll e-mail you with an estimated delivery date as soon as we have more information. Your account will only be charged when we ship the item.

They have free shipping for multiple copies (Xmas stocking stuffer).

I just wanted to check S&M to view any comments on how it reads........though I have little doubt about content.
