Still Chasing the Horses but now we're in Yakima, WA

My husband and I are moving from the Phoenix area where I spent many hours following the Salt River horses to Yakima Washington. Fortunately for me, there are wild horses here too. We took a drive yesterday and found them on the Yakima Indian Reservation. Access is really limited so these were taken from the highway right-of-way, mainly with a 400mm lens.
This has been a really tough year for them with lots of snow and very little food. Most are in pretty good condition but some are really thin. I'm hoping that as the snow melts, they'll be rewarded with lots of grass.
We also spotted some black tail deer along the river.
As always, I really appreciate your comments and suggestions.

My brother lives in Yakima and never mentions the horses (which I love) he only talks about apple orchards and farms. I'm going to have to fuss at him. Love your photos!

Hi Linda2. Thanks! This is actually kind of a homecoming for me. I grew up in the Basin.
