Mustang Pictures-----------

We hunted most of the day and had about given up when we found 90 head. There were a lot of the same mustangs from last week,,, but it's still the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. The paint mares son and her grand kid was around the mountain from the main bunch and too far away to get pictures. There were only two babies in the whole herd.





You'd think this guy would find something else to do, rather than fight.






All four in the air.


I could use a little of that hair to cover my bald head.







"Mad at the world." Every time I saw this paint, he had his ears laid back.



It wasn't too hard to sneak up on this old man.

Great pictures, mustang. You really got up close and personal with some of them. That last pictures is a rare one to capture with a camera. You had a very productive day, and thank you kindly for giving all of us the benefits of your labor.

I thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures, even simply for going out and finding the horses and 'capturing' them on film. Most of us will never be able to see them in the wild, and uncompromised by being in captivity like too many of those wild horses are on private and government sponsored 'sanctuaries'. Some of those look quite bad places for the horses, with little 'natural' about them.

I realize they have been allowed to reproduce to the point they have overrun their range, so something has to be done. It would be great if a controlled population could remain wild, IMO. But it has to be within reason.

We've only found four babies this spring, so it looks like those birth control shots are working. I have mixed feelings about the shots, but I don't really like the idea of rounding them up with the helicopters either. I've seen some of the mustangs being chased for ten to fifteen miles to the traps.
