Dark Bay Horse to White Horse: Who's She?
White Horse: I don't know but I'm thinking on it.
Dark Bay: That thing she's pointing at you...is it dangerous?
White Horse: I don't exactly trust her, but she looks harmless
These are two of the Salt River Wild Horses who live in the Tonto National Forest They roam along the banks of the lower Salt River and have been brought back from almost becoming extinct. I was excited to see several small herds (each had about 8 - 12 horses, I think) eating on the hillside. Hard to get a photo, though, of them looking up!
Lol - love your image, your narrative and your info. I googled them and their history is fascinating. There are wild, usually called feral in the media, horses in the Mt Kosciusko National Park . Their numbers have increased so much they are damaging the environment and there are calls for a cull. It seems to be the same story at a different stage.....
@robz Exactly. In fact, on some of their Facebook page posts, it's clear these are pretty controversial. Since they are in a national forest, and there is 'management' so I assume some culls or sales, hopefully they will be able to live in peace for a long time.
