I know there are so many people concerned and curious about what is happening and what will happen to the herd that has become known as the "Kansas minis." I have way more questions than answers. But I do know that no matter where you stand on this issue, you want to know what is going on and you deserve to know.
I arrived at Trembly's Tiny Trails late morning with two big bales of premium horse forage and an empty trailer. I was accompanied by two new volunteers and two kids. SWER was on site and we were later joined by Deputy Gray. I didn't have much of an opportunity to visit with anybody, so didn't pose any questions I wish I could have.
About four hours later, we left with two stallions and two geldings. One gelding is FAT. The other is okay. The stallions I was able to buy were black and Paint (or is that pinto in miniature horse world?) The spotted one has already been picked up and is making his way to the Kansas City area. He does not appear to be in ill health. The black one is thin and blind in one eye. I was able to get papers on the two stallions. Another volunteer put up temporary digs while I was on the road. All have shelter, water and piles of prairie hay.
These are unbelievably difficult negotiations. We don't hold many cards at this point. I had hoped for more with less, but I did the best I could.
