TINY HOOVES

Little Misters hooves. Yes, he was alive in this image.

 

TWO WEEKS OLD..... Imagine these tiny soft hooves, running quickly over rocks & branches, trying to keep up with his family, being chased by a big helicopter, the tireless metal beast.

 

His mom was pregnant during the helicopter roundups & had this baby - her tiny foal in captivity - only to die & leave him to be a sickly orphan.

 

Many of the baby horses are born in the wild and are forced to run in the BLM helicopter roundups. In the wild I believe pneumonia is unheard of or quite rare. In the wild, mustangs are very healthy & excellent survivors.
