Incredible stallion fight images. One is most likely going to suffer a wound before this is over.

Really nicely done. Are they hard to locate?
I've been to the area about a dozen times and seen the horses on about half of my drives through the area. They seem to wonder through the desert valleys and hills, but there are a couple of areas that they frequent...one of which is a spring. If you are interested in locating them, send me a private message and I'll give you specifics on location and best time of day. It's a dirty and dusty road though.

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.
Terrific!

Great shots! The scarring on those stallions is quite telling of the battles they’ve endured….
