Continued from Part One.
Upon our arrival, Hank herded the mare into the vetting system.

The tilt table squeeze, with lots of doors to get to different parts of the horse.
To get to her feet she had to be tilted sideways in the table. Most horses stay pretty calm when they are tilted over onto their sides. It took a bit of work with nippers and wire cutters to get the can off the mare's hoof.
Cutting away the can.
The cut away can.
We had left the other two mares in the round corral in hopes that the band would stay in the area. Sure enough, they were only a couple hundred yards away. The stallion and the other horses became animated when the mare called out to them from the trailer.

We released all the horses at the same time and they trotted off to rejoin their band.
