Description
The young one is so gorgeous, but she doesn't know it. I marvel at her fuzzy fur and her long legged beauty. And of course, the mom, so protective and proud. What a beautiful pair they are! They stopped for a moment, unsure of what I was about, and looked in my direction. I longed to go over and touch their wild manes, but they would have run away. I was never one of those young girls who is obsessed with horses, but after my trip to see these Wild Mustangs, I became a convert!
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.
