Not a great photo... the light was harsh, but the 'wild' ponies came right up to us and kind of caught me off guard... my husband and I were thrilled to have the close encounter. We had hiked up near the peak of the mountain. There were six of them. We spotted a couple more in the distance. The ponies are very accustomed to people hiking up on the balds of Grayson Highlands. One pony came up and nuzzled my camera. As you can see, they are well fed!
