    UPDATE for Wild horse supporters: Much sincere thanks to each of you who have taken the time to sign this petition. We are making our voices heard, together, without boarders! We have reached an amazing 4,158 signatures. Each one emailed directly to the political powers in Canada who have the ability (and responsibility) to change the law and protect these wild horses as heritage animals and wildlife. Without the natural world around us, healthy and sustained in its balanced state, we as a race are at great danger.
    For all Canadians who have signed this petition, I ask you to take your support one step further and download the formal federal petition. Each petition mailed back with signatures will be submit to the House of Commons this Fall. The government is then obligated to respond to our request within 45 days. The link for the petition download can be found below. The cut off dead is August 31st (ignore the August 1st deadline in the petition cover letter, we have extended it).

    Another initiative is a crowd funding campaign to produce a documentary about our wild horses in Alberta, "Lost in the Wind". Every dollar raised will go towards production costs. Please watch the trailer and donate if it touches you. Imagine, taking our wild horses story and fight to the world. Included in the production costs is a budget to enter the documentary in 200 film festivals. Link below to the indiegogo page. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/lost-in-the-wind
    Finally, if you haven't joined me on Facebook or Twitter, I invite you to do so and stay up to date with this wild horse campaign and progress on these vital initiatives.
