A Year With The Wild Horses

A photo journey with the wild horses of Alberta, through the 12 months of a year.

This was unbelievably fantastic to watch, really amazing. I don't really understand how horses live through the winters without freezing and no shelter. It seems like their legs would freeze from sub zero temperatures

I plan on visiting this summer. Just not sure the details to arrange that. Thank you for this lovely tribute to these majestic horses. Many are no linger with us.

Hello, If you'd like a guided trail ride, with accommodations for the night we can recommend Sunset Guiding. They do rides in this area and have awesome cabins. If you have a holiday trailer they have camping facilities. If you just want to go out for a ride than we are in the Coalcamp Road/ Bearberry area. The trunk road is easy to travel and plenty of side roads to go explore.

We fought these battles in the seventies and won. We will fight and win in court again.

ALERT: Please be aware that the comment/objection period for the public to respond to the Forest Service's plan to remove/cull the Heber wild horses of Arizona is coming to a close on April 22, 2021. The Heber wild horses live on and close to the Mogollon Rim of Arizona's White Mountains outside of Heber, Arizona. They are legally protected by the Free Roaming Horse and Burro Act of 1971, and they live on the federally-designated Heber Wild Horse Territory (HWHT), so designated for them in 1973, their 500-year historic range, where they have every legal right to be. But these legal protections are not being respected, honored or upheld, but instead, it's a range war on behalf of ranchers who inappropriately (and possibly illegally) lease grazing rights from the FS to graze their cattle on the HWHT. That land was set aside for the horses, not for cattle. Those ranchers are politically supported by the wealthy and powerful cattle lobby that have long had the ear of the FS, and they want the horses gone. To facilitate that, they speak falsehoods, like claiming a high reproduction rate, when in truth the Heber wild horses have provably maintained stable numbers for well over 20 years (records have been kept for decades), and mathematically, considering a horse's gestation period, the years spent nursing a foal before the mare is free to breed again, and the limited number of breeding pairs in any given year, high reproduction rates are Not possible. They also claim that there are no natural predators to keep mustang numbers in check, but that's not true: Cougars take foals, as do the packs of Mexican Gray Wolves that live in the White Mountains region and along the Mogollon Rim. These horses cannot speak for themselves; they need us to speak on their behalf! We only have until April 22 to speak up for them, so please share this information with those you can. If people don't know, they won't know to speak up in time. Information and LINKS by which to comment at the FS online site, can be found at heberwildhorses dot com and at facebook heber wild horses. Please be their Voice before the comment period ends on April 22, and spread the word so people can make their voices heard in time.

I was sad when this video finished. What a wonderful gift you have with a camera, capturing the magnificence of theses majestic horses. I think a lot of the horses carry the old Spanish Genes. Makes one wonder if they travelled from America to Canada. Thank you for posting.

So what are you doing now? Sticking or stitching?

[@larisalarisa9414]

Is there information about this herd in 2019? How did the horses survive this cold winter?
