Wild Horses (pic heavy)

Wow! That's a fantastic set! You got a lot of action there, but especially the males trying to establish their dominance.

Thanks Jeff! Watching the behaviors and social interactions was quite fascinating.

Thank you. Being among them and observing that drama was magical.

Terrific set! What a great opportunity and it's great that you snagged so many great shots.

Great work! Glad you had such a good time!

Thank you! The first attempt at this trip in 2020 was cancelled by Covid. This one worked out. Happily I got a few good ones out of the 1300 taken over 3 days.

That's a fantastic set, Pete! It's hard to pick a favorite but I have to say, the last pic with the wild one in blue is pretty stunning.

Thanks Kirk! I was so happy that someone caught that and gave it to me.

I recently had the good fortune to go on a group adventure to photograph wild horses in Utah. Here is a sampling of the many photos I took over three days.

Thank you for your kind comments. I see what you mean. In the original I was trying to capture the scale of the open desert they were coming across. But I like your suggested crop also.
