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 County Boy. Don’t ever too hard on your brother, I drove past them for years before I finally began appreciating them!

Nice to look at but they are a scourge on the range. Way too many, destroying the range as they search for food. All the black ones are signs of inbreeding. Their weakened condition makes them disease ridden, exposing domestic horses unnecessarily. Their overall impact on the habitat is more like vermin. But given all that, they’re nice to look at.

Nice ones, Sally.
I do understand your position. Unfortunately many herds have not been managed as they should have been. In some places, birth control is practiced with injections, limiting the population but in other areas, the number of horses is totally out of control.
Even so, they are my favorite subject.

Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures, Sally. I've photographed old horses in a nature preserve but that's not as exciting as shooting them in the wild.

Oops - dern typewriter doesn't obey my commend.
I meant to say wild horses - not old.
