Description
These wild mustangs travel in bands. They are very social, and here they are hanging out together, with their heads on each others' backs on the prairie, just taking a break. These three seem to be friends, as they followed each other everywhere.
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 3rd, 2018, in NW Colorado.
