They sometimes don't get much notice but the BLM crew does a ton of work to make these workshops fly. They have to bring in all the horses and pens, start early in the morning to feed the animals before the program starts in the morning. Then they have to have the first loads of horses in the training pens for the first session. All day long they sort and move animals, often not putting the last ones up and feeding them until after dark. Then there is adopter paperwork and prospective adopters to talk to and interview. It all makes for a pretty busy day.
Gus Warr and his crew did an exemplary job all throughout the workshop. In addition Art DeGrazia and B.T. Frost gave us a tour of the Butterfield Corrals. The Butterfield tour was a highlight of the week... lots of healthy looking horses playing in huge corrals with rolling hills and natural cover.
Janet Neal (formerly known as Janet Nordin) did her usual top notch job in pulling all the players and pieces together to make this the smoothest running workshop that we've ever had.
