This photo collage illustrates the activities of the LRTC crew facilitating the gelding of 25 former free-roaming (tribal) stallions in preparation of relocation to a California sanctuary. Additionally, 6 colts and 17 mare and foal pairs had blood drawn and a few horses were treated for injuries sustained in the gathering and sale process.
Chutes, funnels and sorting wells were constructed using heavy gauge BLM spec "mustang panels."
The stallions had to be divided into small groups, then sorted individually into the vetting squeeze, then sedated and blood samples taken, then gelded.

The panels are configured so that the horses make a 270 degree turn before entering the squeeze.
