Week One: Recap with Zephyr

Last Friday we drove down to Lorton, Virginia to pick up our two mustangs.  I had been waiting for this day for months and expected some sort of chaotic horse round up in a big arena with lots of people and horses everywhere.  But when we pulled into the field where the temporary Bureau of Land Management holding facility was located, it was strangely quiet.

There were about 8 pens of horses adjoining a central chute and trailer loading area with 5 or 6 BLM and Mustang Heritage Foundation personnel overseeing the operation.   I walked up to the registration table, filled out my paperwork and was told to look for number 3395.
