Day 1: Rock Springs Roundup-2014. Our observation point was ½ mile from the trap--visibility was limited to only about the last 100 yrds. of their journey and it was next to impossible to see the pens. 20 horses were rounded up, not good. A black stallion, who was brought in by himself, ran out of the trap after the helicopter spent 20-30 minutes bringing him in--the copter tried again and then after the stallion defied the helicopter, they let him go. A big cheer went up from the observers! Thats 1 for the wild horses! We watched that big black stallion with the blaze--(I decided to call him Rocky as he was so invincible), disappear over the hill to the west. We spent the remainder of the day driving through Salt Wells and found a total of 36 horses, including 5 foals. What spectacular country. (We also saw hundreds of cows and antelope as well.)
