It’s hard to miss the horses on the way to the mountains.
They’ve established free-roaming populations throughout the foothills and grasslands of Alberta’s eastern slopes, with herds of wild horses almost guaranteed to be seen off Highway 1 west of Calgary year-round.

Marlaina couldn’t tell the truth if her life depended on it.
If she can verify the number of wild horses with actual facts - and the numbers are enough to lead to starvation - then a cull should happen.
But she’s lying as usual.
