| Sunday, June 10 | Summary: 9 stallions, 15 mares and 11 foals were gathered today in the Trail Springs gather location.

| Saturday, June 9 | Summary: 25 stallions, 14 mares and 6 foals were gathered today in the Trail Springs gather location. Body condition scores were between mid 2s (very thin) to 4s (moderately thin). Highs were in the high 50s to low 60s. Three observers.
