The thirteen wild horses caught by a permit holder and destined for the slaughter house now have a second chance. Inspite of four of the mares being pregnant and each having foals at their side they were still headed for the canner. Five other stud colts, mares and fillies shared the same fate. However, their ransom was paid by WHOAS and Bear Valley Rescue Centre so kindly took them in until permanent homes could be found. If it wasn’t for the rescue centre the horses would have gone to slaughter as WHOAS does not have the ability to house such large numbers of wild horses. Nonetheless, all 13 horses now reside at several different ranches throughout Central and Northern Alberta. Unfortunately most of them had to be split up in order to accomplish this. WHOAS is working on establishing a private sanctuary on which future rescued wild horses can be kept together and live relatively free of human interference.
Judy Becker has one such mini sanctuary on which her adopted pregnant mare Ramsey and filly reside.
The little white mare that is blind in one eye lives with a donkey for a pasture mate and is loved and cared for by Joanne of Bowden.
Thelma and Louise the black mares, were quite adept at crashing through the corrals and breaking the boards like match sticks at the rescue centre. This pair of insurgents went to a knowledgable mustang owner by the name of William.
Their sons named Pat and Mike are with Jack Nichol and are halter trained already. 
Babe was adopted by another WHOAS member by the name of Lyle, 
Where as Cammie, 
thought to untameable until she met Jack went to be with Cheryl and her husband and family.
Cowboy and Bart were adopted by a fellow named Jerry. The two young stallions Bombay and Elmo are still temporarily at the rescue centre but have been adopted through advertising on this website to a woman in Northern Alberta. Attached are a few of the pictures I have been able to collect and do a follow up on so far. Hair samples have been taken from most of these horses when it was safely able to be done and will be sent to Texas for DNA testing soon.
