Thank you Craig. I had forgotten that story. I remember seeing the stories and rooting the rescuers on!
Your writing about the bravery and compassion of folks in dire circumstances themselves, doing something extraordinary, for no gain to themselves, and for a couple of abandoned horses made me cry!
As a city girl, 65, and getting a knee replaced, I have to confess I barely remember this story. I do have a few images of seeing something on CBC, but... never really knew this. What a fabulous story of pulling together to save others, even if they're horses!! Kudos to little McBride, the little town that could!!
My pleasure! It’s stayed with me over the years. The other day when I was looking at the 6-7 foot snowbanks along my road, it reminded me of this story.
I hate to be that guy, but is that a typo in the second photo caption, saying Dec 24, 2018 rather than 2008? Or was it a 10th anniversary thing?
Sorry for the confusion. Yes, this image is from a 10 year anniversary story about the rescue: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/10-year-mcbride-horse-rescue-1.4958619 . Sorry, for any confusion.
Thanks for reading.

A very well written story!
Thanks Alexis! I love this story. It always gets me in the feels. It was a real pleasure to revisit and write about.

Thanks Celia! I wish I would’ve thought of “the little town that could” line. So fitting! When are you getting your knee replaced?
Already done - 2008 for right knee, 2018 for left. Sorrythar note was confusing! 😊
Being a horse person, I followed this story very closely. Thank you for telling the story again! :)
