The mystery behind the cowboy with no name, whose horse was photographed tethered to a post in a parking lot at ParksvilleB次元官网网址檚 Wembley Mall, has been solved.
The horseB次元官网网址檚 name is Thunder and is owned by Kevin Gourlay, who lives at Morningstar Farm in Parksville. Gourlay said he was surprised to wake up in the morning to see his horse on the PQB B次元官网网址 website.
Gourlay noted that the photo, that has taken social media by storm, of his horse was taken back in December.
