Antelope Day 1- Breaking For Freedom

This dramatic sequence of photos taken by journalist Laura Leigh yesterday show an incredible break for freedom by a young horse being driven into the trap pens by contractors for the Bureau of Land Management. The sequence is about 17 photos and hopefully it conveys the efforts this horse made. The photos of the horse once he has found his freedom are particularly poignant as his herd is still captive. His body is caked in sweat from the entire ordeal and yesterdays temperatures only reached to freezing point.

More reports later from the roundup and the holding corrals
