Coming in Friday's Dayton Appeal

On May 26, Yvonne Mikkelsen, an employee of the

Lockwood Landfill in northern Storey County, noticed a

wild horse foal, a bay with one white sock, and a

diamond-shaped star on her forehead, frolicking around

its mother.

The next day, the filly, then about a week old, was by

itself, injured, and lying by the side of the road.

Several garbage truck drivers saw the animal and

brought it to the scale house, where the trash is

weighed, and tried to coax it into drinking water out

of one of their hard hats.
