We had a GREAT visit to the herd in July.  It was so hot the herd didn’t graze much.  Spent most of the day at the watering hole.  That gave us some unusual opportunities to photograph them.  Lots of fights (some real and some just “jousting”).  It allowed us to have a lot of horses in the background that sometimes helps simplify any distractions.

There was a fierce fight near/in the watering hole.  The brown stallion was fighting with the gray all day long.  Both stallions were on their hind legs just seconds earlier.  Then the brown stallion decided to run to get away from the gray.  They were on the edge of the watering hole surrounded by other wild horses so that meant they ran through the water.  Great opportunity that I was glad I was able to witness and get a few photographs of…

So many photographs to process but here are a few of what I have processed thus far…
