This article recounts a dramatic rescue near Sundre involving bystanders. Debbie McGauran and her grandson spotted a newborn foal in distress after it tumbled toward a cliff edge west of Sundre. A bystander named Dustin climbed the hillside and, after waiting for the mare to retreat, carefully pulled the foal back from the edge and helped it stand. The story reflects the broader pattern of citizen-led wild horse rescues in the Sundre Equine Management Zone that HAWS documents and publicizes, reinforcing its narrative about the vulnerability of newborn foals and the importance of public vigilance during foaling season — themes HAWS frequently raises in its own outreach.
