Help needed from area snowmobilers!
Lost Quarter Horse. May be using snowmobile trails to get around.

Description: 10 year old gelding, Brown with white mark on forehead - back two feet have whte socks. Wearing a halter. Named El Nino.

Horse left property northeast of Island Lake (22 miles north of Duluth) Sunday afternoon Feb. 7th. Tracked to last known location Alden Lake area, west side of Cloquet River. Headed in an easterly direction. Horse was born/raised in northwest Wisconsin - near Port Wing - likely wanting to return there.

Horse was tracked on the snowmobile trail off North Alden Lake Road heading east toward Alden Lake. He stuck to the trail until it turned north about 1/2 mile west of Alden Lake turned east by southeast.

Track is significanlty larger than deer track. Have not yet confirmed crossing the Cloquet River. No reported sightings. Officials in St. Louis Co, Lake Co and DNR have been notified.
Hoping Snowmobilers can network this info around as widely as possible.

If you sight El Nino Please call Scott immediately 218-393-2779 with any information.
Thanks!

We had a helicopter with a thermal image camera in the air last night. No CONFIRMED sightings yet but there were 2 hits. Most likely appeared south of Island Lake, just west of Cty Rd 273/Old Vermillion Trail, very close to the Island Lake Spur snowmobile trail. Likely heading south and looking for other horses and food.
