Wild horses

Wild horses couldn't drag me away

Wild, wild horses we'll ride them some day

-- The Rolling Stones

 

I spotted this pair as they came up over the crest of a hill. They were some distance away but I was immediately captivated nevertheless. (sorry you can't zoom in on this as it's already zoomed). They galloped out of sight so I got back in my car and headed off.

 

A bit farther along the road, I could scarcely believe my eyes as a group of about 12 came galloping toward me, very close to the road. I didn't get my camera out in time but what a sight! I've never seen wild horses before and didn't know there were any in this area. I did some asking around, and apparently they are indeed wild though it's believed that they were at one time rodeo stock who went feral and now roam over free range First Nations land.
