The Mission Begins..

12 hours from home finds Ingrid and I checking in to a hotel in Reno, and after 5 horizontal hours we are off again to fetch our little visitors.

It is a pleasant surprise to find Patti in the office, with the schedule the MHF folks have these next few weeks.. perhaps Patti was already nearby?

We get in line and wait, watch move forward, and then in what seems a blur 6 babies are in the trailer. I really only remember watching the last one load... (mine was first in the trailer, and I hadn't even made it out of my truck!)

3 bays, 2 reds, and a Black Bay, 3 Geldings, 3 Fillies...
The last baby was Sal's, it was almost a black, but after going half way into the chute at least 3 times, a cute bay gelding got tired of that and walked in himself.

10 hours on the road and we make it to Angi's. Despite rest stops the babies are too tired to be sorted and reloaded so we leave them to rest in he round pen for a day and sort and deliver them Saturday evening.
