Two horses lost from Tells Creek Horse Camp

I received this message from the Sacramento Horsemen's Association and wanted to spread the word.

Alert!!

Two Red Roan Horses Lost...
The horses broke away from their high tie line Saturday night July 21st. The Ranger thought that the horses might have had an encounter with a bear. The owners (a young boy and his father) have searched all day, but do not have any assistance from any agencies and are on their own. The horses still have their halters and lead ropes on and could easily get hung up on a tree or rock preventing them from getting to feed or water. There are horses in a private corral a short distance from the Tells Creek Horse camp turn off. They could see the horses trail there, but lost it.

1 horse has 3 socks, the other 2.

If anyone knows of resources for tracking, please let them know.

I sure hope they find them. I can't imagine how awful the owners must feel.

I've been there - ideas

there is a large network of trails that are well traveled on weekends, strange that they were not seen. They could be going through trees/brush off trail, and unfortunately there are unexpected drop offs, granite, etc. Two ideas - search dogs (not sure if there are any trained to tell the difference between horse's smell).
Second, didn't someone post last year about finding a lost horse by leaving one tied and riding other horses away, so it would call for them? With a big area like this, a recording could be used, or the search could be done in stages - every mile or so, ride ahead and leave one horse behind with it's rider, untill it calls for it's friends. Then listen for an answer. If none, repeat.

Funny they give markings but not color?
