The Onaqui herd of wild horses wonders in the Utah west desert in mostly open range and few human visitors. The wind seems to excite the horses and they become somewhat more active. I took these photos a few weeks ago on a windy day at the end of March. There were probably about 50-75 horses in this group, although the herd is currently estimated to consist of about 120-210 horses in multiple groups. In 2021 the BLM reported gathering 435 horses and returned 123 to the range.
Spectacular, Steve!

Great series ! Which one won ???
Thanks. I watched them for about an hour. They seemed to almost take turns prevailing in the fight. They would fight, bite and kick for a while....then, take a rest for 5-10 minutes ......and then go at it again. While the fight and intent to win seemed real, they also seemed to enjoy it.

Wow! They're all great although I like the first one best.
Thanks! The first one is my favorite also. I just wish that I had a little more background space on the right-hand side.
