After a days-long search spanning kilometres around the hamlet of Bragg Creek, Alta., a championship endurance horse was reunited with its family. Owner Rosalynn Peschl said she and her husband, Houston Peschl, felt "tremendous relief" upon seeing Flex standing in a forest clearing. While he was saddling Flex, a bee sting spooked the horse, causing him to break his halter and run off. Houston eventually turned Flex into a champion endurance horse, and together the pair has competed in competitions across the prairies and the U.S., including winning a Canadian national championship in endurance horse riding. "These are friends I haven't met, even though they've been so tremendous and pivotal in this whole whole crazy journey."
