Wild Horse Stallions
Wild Horse Stallions
Believe it or not, I’m still going through wild horse photos from last week. Just when I think I have picked the best, I go through again and find more good photos. It’s pretty hard to whittle it all down. So today I have several more shots, mostly of the wild horse stallions.
The power, and the beauty behind the stallions is unparalleled. When they run past you, hooves beating the ground, thunder shaking, it sends chills up my spine. The first time a pair ran past me and the nieces, they were in awe, and could feel the power just like I do.
And yes, all four feet do come of the ground when they are running.
This dark stallion is one of the lead guys. He was certainly aware of where we were at all times, and what we were up to.
This muddy stallion and his mare, were quite the beautiful pair.
And of course there is always the testing, the bluffing, among the boys.
Dripping wet, right out of the watering hole. Have you seen anything so handsome?
Nothing like a good splash to feel better.
A good dust bath, a vigorous shake, and this stallion was all set.
This is actually a couple of mares, but I have never seen tail pulling like this before. She had a hold of the other mares tail for about 5 minutes. Not really pulling hard, the other mare seemed to not care at all. It was pretty funny to see.
We were lucky once again, to be in front as they ran to the watering hole. Such a sight to see.

I.Love.That.Photo.
Every photo is a warm and happy image of the freedom and wild love out there on the range. Honestly, you have enough here for a must-have book. LOVE THEM!
I’m going to do that, just for you!
every photo of this wonderful horses is THE BEST… they are wonderful and you caught the sunlight at the best moment…what wonderful effects it can make… breathtaking ;o)
It’s all about time of day in photography, and thanks so much!
Beautiful as always!
So incredibly beautiful and powerful. I’ve never seen nor heard of the tail pulling before, I have to look that up and find out what it means!
I think she was just playing, that’s my guess anyway.
Mary, the photos are amazing. Are the horses as friendly as they appear to be or are these telephoto lenses? My wife and I are waiting patiently for our Class B RV to be manufactured. The hold up is Mercedes shipping the chassis from Germany but we should be good to go by the end of the year. Being in our late seventies this will be a whole new adventure for us as we travel full time touring the country. Your areas of travel are on our list.

Lloyd I have a 150-600 lens mounted on a crop sensor camera, so my reach is pretty good. They are kinda use to people, but I don’t think I would say friendly, especially the stallions. And the wait must seem forever, I would be so impatient. Lol. I’m sure you will have a blast once you get started however, and any help or advice I can give, let me know.
They are such beautiful creatures!
Ah, Mary, I tell ya, if you make a book, I WANT IT!
I’m so in love with your wild horse photos, Mary. Beautifully captured!
Those are fabulous. Perhaps that mare wanted to be pulled along by the front mare! That was funny! And the others exude such raw power.
They are so athletic…the muscles on some of them! The photos are so gorgeous, I can only imagine what it is like to see them in person, and hear their thunder. You’re so lucky!
Hello, these are all wonderful shots of the horses. They are beautiful. It would be too hard to choose a favorite, I love them all. Happy Monday, enjoy your day!
I love your fabulous photos of these beautiful creatures! THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing them with us!
These photos are stunning.
