We have found out from the horses mouth, so to speak, that the government has not issued pen or roping permits this year. We would like to express our gratitude to the SRD for this. However, we received an email from a concerned individual whom on January 1st, saw some people on horse back that appeared to be harassing some wild horses. One wild mare was running in and out of the trees, and in the observers opinion, the mare was clearly upset. We obtained vehicle and stock trailer descriptions and license plate numbers. The family also reported the episode to the local RCMP.
Today, January 6th, 2008 Bob and I took a drive out West to the area where the alleged incident occurred and found trucks and stock trailers matching their descriptions. We documented this and reported it to the RCMP as well.
