*Nov/09 - 2010 Calendar - Once again WHOAS is excited to offer our yearly fundraising calendar, which just keeps getting better every year. It features several herds and individual wild horses of Alberta, which are nestled in the scenic foothills of the Rocky Mountains, west of Sundre, Alberta. The photographs of the 12 month calendar depict the four seasons, and the beauty contained in the winter, spring, summer and fall months. We photograph the wild horses year round, in all weather conditions, to get the best photographs possible for the calendar, so that you too can see the beauty and magesty of these remarkable endangered horses. The cost of a calendar is $25 each which includes shipping and handling. Proceeds going towards an aerial census of the horses this winter, lobbying, educating the public of their existance and their plight. Along with these projects, funding also covers office and promotional products and materials. Veterinary care and training of rescued wild horses, that were otherwise doomed to the slaugher house is also covered by our yearly fundraiser.
