Birgit Stutz, Lawrence Scanlan - The Rescue of Belle and Sundance: One Town's Incredible Race to Save Two Abandoned Horses
Published: 2012-03-06 | ISBN: 0306820978 | EPUB + MOBI | 240 pages | 5 MB
In December 2008, snowmobilers spot two abandoned horses high in the Canadian Rockies. Starving and frostbitten, the horses have trampled the ten-foot-deep snow into a narrow white prison. Those who reach them bring hay but also a gun, in case the horses are too far gone. A glint of life in the horses’ eyes earns them the hay.
The harrowing yet inspiring story of their near impossible rescue--involving the volunteer efforts of an entire village, first the excavation of a trench six feet deep and over 3280 feet long, and then a nearly 20 mile descent at negative 40 degrees--is sure to be read in one breathless sitting.
