Wild, Wild Horses
Wild, Wild Horses
I mentioned last week that my son and I were going in search of the wild horses. We had a general idea of where they should be, and drove around for several hours. We saw one lone stallion, then a small group of 3 stallions. I was getting kinda bummed out we hadn’t found the herd. Finally around 4 o’clock we decided to try a different direction, and there they were.
We were beyond thrilled.
The bad thing was, by this time the day had turned very cloudy and windy. We stood and watched them and froze to death. I was shivering, and was really glad I had a tripod.
I took about 500 photos that day. I have been going through them, editing, and putting them on my Mary Hone Photography site to sell. These images will also be in the new art we are creating for the summer art shows.
Yin and Yang.
I went back the next day because the sun was shining, and I knew I could get better photos. Another 400 photos.
Watching these guys is unbelievable. This was my first time seeing wild horses, and I am so going to try and find them again.
I will have more images in tomorrows post. And there are more on my photography site, so check that out too.
they are wonderful! I couldn’t believe that there is a land with wild horses as I was a kid… and I put my pocket money in a jar to go to this land once… sadly it never happened… but I can watch them through your cam now, that’s good too :o)
Well I’m very glad I can bring them to you.
My heart skips a few beats when I see ANY HORSE…..it could be the poor beast that pulls the carriage downtown for tourists, it could be a solitary mare out in the pasture just a few miles from our house. These animals are magic, pure and simple. LOVE YING AND YANG!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anita I thought of you when I was watching them. You would have loved it!
You definitely captured a lot of horsing around! Never seen wild horses.
I do love to see horses!
Wow, they are awesome photos. One of my favorites is the next to last shot. Great action shots, the horses are beautiful. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
Beyond words…
I love every single one of them. Thank you for sharing, Mary! :)
Thanks so much Amy.
Stunning photos absolutely stunning. Mom’s cousin Judi adopted a wild Mustang decades ago, we love wild horses and think the photos will sell really well. Love Dolly
Thanks so much, and how awesome to adopt a wild horse. I would love to do that.
I’ve been waiting for these pictures! They are so beautiful Mary! When I went to South Carolina several years we went to an island and there was wild horses. I couldn’t take my eyes off them, they were beautiful! You captured them perfectly!
Thanks Jen. It was great to watch, and photograph them. I can’t wait to go again.
I’ve been looking forward to you posting your photos ever since you mentioned seeing them on Facebook. So fantastic! What an absolute thrill to see them!
Well I hope I didn’t disappoint. And was very thrilling to watch them. I am ready to go again.
All I can say is – Wow! What glorious, majestic creatures, and your photos capture them beautifully!
Fabulous… would love to see these guys myself. I’ll send you an email next week and see if our schedules will mesh for a little joint camera shoot. And hopefully the wild horses won’t be elusive!
That would be great Ingrid. Yes, they are wild animals so you never know where they will be.
These images of the wild horses are amazing! I found you through Amy. Man am I glad I clicked over to here. What beauty!
Thank you! And thanks for stopping by.
Well it was definitely worth all you went through trying to find the herd and freezing while photographing them! What gorgeous pictures! It’s so wonderful to see wild horses behaving naturally instead of through man’s training. Warms my heart.
It was worth every minute. I am ready to go again, maybe in a warmer day though.
Oh Mary, thank you for thinking of me when you were photographing these beauties! I WOULD HAVE cried and laughed and leapt for joy!!!!
Amazing photos! What incredible action shots and cool behaviors you captured! Are you in Northern Utah, like your little map seems to show? I’ve never seen wild horses before. Thanks!
It sounds like your hard drive might be as full as mine ;)
wonderful images
i like the coloring and texture you add to some of them
you sure have a lot of photos to go through!
these are EXQUISITE!! You should try to sell these to National Geographic or something. These are unreal!!!
I honestly couldn’t tell you if I like your landscape to animal photos better. They are all so wonderful.
