And that's horse country up there, up along the state line between Illinois and Wisconsin. The online Trib said they were being transported for auction in Minnesota. And, that between the people who offered their barns as a holding area, plus the local veterinarians who have been caring for them, there has been a lot of interest from people around there who know horses. They will definitely be loved and cared about for the rest of their lives. This is not going to get swept under the rug. Run at the bridge Belgian horses. I'm sure my grandmother is waiting for them, she loved horses as a young girl.

I sure hope the Trib doesn't let this die. Humane transport is the least we
can do for these beautiful animals. More people need to know it goes on all
the time.
