Wild Horse Tour

Wild Horse Tour We got to go on a different type of tour this year. It was a tour to see Wild Horses. As everyone knows, we wanted to see and photograph wild horses fighting. Unfortunately, we were told from the start that fights were rare. We had 6 tours (about 4-6 hours each) scheduled over a 4 day period. Our first night, we found a group of about 15 horses or so and were able to photograph them, along with a Pronghorn antelope out on the range. It was a pretty good start. Our first morning out, turned out to be even better. We found our big herd from the night before, alone with 2 other groups. The mixture was great. Several of the stallions seemed to be looking for a fight. We had fights all around us. Our guide, from Green River Wild Horse Tours & Eco Safari's, indicated that it was more fights than he had seen in 2 years. We snapped away. The horses didn't seem to pay any attention to us and were running, prancing, and galloping right by us (the big roan stallion ran right by us, probably no further than 30-40 feet from the vehicle). The next few trips out, we found smaller groups, standing around, and photographed them. Then our last morning out, we found the group we had started with (with 2 Pinto stallions in the group). They didn't disappoint us this morning either, providing us lots of action. We had so many fights going that people in our group were shooting different fights simultaneously! I took over 10,000 photographs and have narrowed it down to this selection, some of which may seem very similar to others, but I couldn't decide which I liked. This collection includes horses in action, horses standing, herds of horses, and much more. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
