Wild Horse Canyon, in central Utah, and just a bit north of Hanksville Utah, is part of the San Rafael Swell area and the formations seen in this video are quite similar to a video I posted a few months ago entitled "San Rafael Swell" which is located along I-70 just west of Green River Utah.

Like most of the rest of this trip in May 2017 the winds were pretty high in the 20-30mph range so that made for some difficulties getting close to things. Like my other video listed above the rock formations are of a slanted layered type that I believe is referred to as a 'anticline'.
In addition to the winds the sky was pretty overcast which tends to reduce color saturation but has the advantage of very even lighting -- almost like a very large softbox.
This area is very near the Goblin Valley State Park and is accessed from the same road you use to reach the Goblin Valley State Park. Not far from where this video was shot is a parking area where hikers park and then hike the ridge and canyons in the area -- there can be quite a few hikers on any given day.
