I took these pictures of the herd of wild horses that we sometimes see out
on Pierce Ferry Road, down near Stockton Hill Road and Gregg's Hideout
Road.
Wild Horses
I understand that this particular herd of mustangs is genetically
unchanged from the horses that came over with Cortez in the 16th
century.
It's good to see
them looking
healthy and
well-fed.  
Sometimes
when we have
seen them they
have looked a
little gaunt, with
ribs showing.
This bunch was heading into the West, late one day in the fall of 2009.
I hadn't seen them for a few months.  They move around depending on the
weather and the availability of water and grazing.
Just think.  None of these have ever been roped, haltered, bridled, saddled or
broken.
They are wild, free and beautiful.
I followed them for awhile as they plodded along the south side of Gregg's
Hideout Road.  They ignored me.
Guess they had somewhere to get to before dark.  I wish them well.
