Description
These two young foals were waiting while their moms were drinking at the water hole. The band of wild mustangs had come galloping in for their evening drink. These foals are still nursing and too young to join in. I love their long gangly legs and innocence, looking on shyly.
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.
