Description
Wild Mustang portrait. This is one of a band of horses that came galloping to drink from the water hole where I was waiting with my camera in the late afternoon. He towered over me, magnificently showing his power and beauty. The horses came after a long, hot day, to drink and bathe and socialize.
Wild Mustangs are free-roaming horses of the American west that were originally brought to the Americas by the Spanish. We think of Mustangs as wild horses, but because they are descended from once-domesticated horses, they are actually feral horses. This free-roaming horse population is managed and protected by the BLM, the Bureau of Land Management. There is some controversy surrounding the sharing of land and resources by the free-ranging mustangs with the livestock of the ranching industry. There is also dispute about the methods with which the federal government manages the wild horse numbers.
Photo taken on June 6th, 2018, in NW Colorado.
