These mustangs arrived in Kansas a day ago, and were placed in this large holding corral for a few days of observation. Part of the time is spent establishing who is in charge.

This group of about 20 mares have been separated from a large holding corral and are being directed down the facility alleys toward a waiting trailer for transport to a nearby pasture.

These are the final four mares to be loaded onto the trailer. Another twenty are already loaded in the space beyond the white divider.

It's impossibly dangerous to be in the same confined space as the mustangs. The man shown is protected by the steel gate as these mares pass toward the waiting trailer.

Four mares have already stepped into the rear section of the trailer, but these two have other ideas.

This pasture is about five miles from the handling facility, and will be these mares' new home.

This mare is out of the trailer and gone!

Another group of mares is guided down an alleyway and toward a pasture-bound trailer.

As the many hinged steel gates indicate, the alleys in this facility can be reconfigured at will. As soon as these mares pass, the gate visible on the left can be swung to the left to block their retreat.

As the trailer gate is slammed shut, it will automatically latch.

This group of mares is curious about who is about to join them when the trailer gate is opened.

Off the trailer in a new pasture home.

The workers have separated these mares from the larger waiting group, and are sending them down these alleyways toward a waiting trailer.

These mares kick up a lot of dust heading for a waiting trailer.

These four geldings are being released on a hilltop in this large pasture.

Over a hundred mustangs have called this large Flint Hills pasture their home for several years. The trailer holds thirteen geldings about to be released to join them.

This group of about twenty geldings are being driven from a holding corral to a waiting trailer that will take them to their new Flint Hills pasture.

These geldings race from the trailer that has just transported them to their new pasture.

About one hundred mustangs have already raced down this alley today, so this group easily raises a new cloud of dust.

There is room for about twenty-five mustangs on this trailer. The ride to their new Flint Hills pasture will be a short one, less than ten miles.

Off the trailer and home on the (new) range.

About twenty geldings run down an alley toward the trailer that will take them to a nearby Flint Hills pasture.

These three geldings complete this trailer-load.
