Moving Day for Calico Mountain Mares

Dear Readers,
The horse trailer crew from Wild Horse Mentors beat me to the corrals at Palomino Valley on Monday morning.
My excuse: I stopped to get donuts for everyone. Yes, for the BLM staff, too. Why? For the same reason I rarely use staffers' names:the ugliest decisions come down from the top.
The wrangler separated Ghost Dancer and Sage away from their corral-mates after all of the gates closed so that there was just one path and it led to the red horse trailer.

They didn't like the look of a rope draped overhead.

Still they went on.

Then, just when it looked like both horses were going to get into the trailer --






Ghost Dancer's lead mare attitude asserted itself. She turned and faced the wrangler. So did Sage. They split around him and bolted back the way they'd come.

Next time down the path, they entered the trailer.
Photos of the mares' arrival at the Wild Horse Sanctuary tomorrow!

Comments: haha! Yeah for that valiant effort on Ghost's part and Sage's! =) The horse the wrangler is riding looks like he or she is saying.."What?? You think I like doing this??"
