As soon as the colt wouldn't panic when touched by people the volunteers moved him into the trailer.
Easing him toward the trailer.
Time to step inside.
On the way to LRTC's Adoption Corrals.
The colt has been removed to safe keeping and the volunteers await instructions from the Department of Agriculture. Most likely the colt will be put up for adoption.
The volunteers named the colt "Trucker" in honor of the truck driving skills exhibited by Shirley Allen in getting the trailer to the colt, and out again.
We should point out that it is illegal to harass or trap wild horses and these activities were conducted after notice was given to appropriate authorities and with an animal control officer present.
Participating in this rescue were Willis Lamm, Sharon Lamm, Bob Retzer, Shirley Allen and Nonie Higley with logistic assistance from Margy Hamilton. We should also point out that some really heads-up trail riders, Kelli Lyon Ann Eldridge and Linda Mulke,
noticed the colt by himself where he shouldn't ordinarily be, investigated the situation and reported it. Otherwise the little guy would have been a tender meal for the local coyotes.
Actually we found out shortly afterwards that little Trucker tested positive for West Nile Virus and within a couple of days he was in real trouble!
