They are climbing steep mountains and are walking right past the end of the Forest Service fencing, something they have never done ...

Time for a good retirement.

December 30th In other much larger Herd Management Area's (HMA's) older wild horses are seen one day and then just kindof dissapear the next. Like the icons Picasso, Cloud and even Old Man. It's the circle of life and the way of the wild. But in our neck of the woods, we can't exactly say, ...
