Last week end I had the opportunity to drive through the Yakima Indian Reservation just above Goldendale Washington..we stopped along the highway and watched a stallion chase after a mare and foal that he had just recently stolen, she was trying to get back to her stallion who was left badly bitten up and limping, and put her into his herd. It was quite the chase and even ended up with him challenging us and he stopped just 30 yards from us.
We named him "Challenger"
The loser..
Challenger's herd
Putting the errant mare back in his herd

Nice set, Carol. I like the 'snaking' in the last one. :D :D
He "snaked" her all the way up a hill to his herd..they were about 1/2 a mile away from us.

He sure is a muscled up thing isn't he?
Yes he is..he had very few bite marks on him so you know he had been winning quite a lot..
There are over 5000 head of wild horses on the reservation.

I think he was just doing his job of protecting his herd..however as he was racing towards us my heart was pounding..
