Custer County SD Search & Rescue 1d ยท Back on Sept. 21, 2019, we assisted Custer Ambulance Service with a call in Custer State Park for some riders who had been thrown from their horses. Three spooked horses had run off; two were found within a day or two near the horse camp but the third horse, named Chex, was never located despite extensive searches in the days, weeks and months that followed by SAR volunteers as well as by his owner and friends and other riders who wanted to help. The other day Conservation Officer Ron Tietsort received a tip from a lion hunter who on the last day of the season had discovered some bones in a very steep and remote part of French Creek Natural Area. Ron contacted two of our members who have been dedicated to this search the past three years. They went out yesterday, and after much difficulty on a six-hour hike, found the bones and remains which appear to be from Chex. We will never know exactly what happened but he may have fallen in a steep area not long after he disappeared. Chex's owner has been notified and though very sad, expressed much gratitude for all the people who helped since Chex disappeared three years ago. We're so sorry this didn't come out another way.
Please print this updated flyer at https://netposse.com/tag.asp?id=2896 and post it in the Custer State Park, SD area for Chex and Stephanie Bushman. Perhaps someone has him and has not found out where he belongs yet? Perhaps someone got him and did something else with him. Perhaps he is still out there somewhere.
