Wild Mare and Colt
Patty and I worked pretty hard to get the early morning light behind us when I shot this wild mare and colt photo which is framed and hanging in our home. (I love it because it’s a reminder of a fun weekend getaway to Echo Bluff State Park.)
The stallion was black (thus the colt). But I want you to notice the mare. She’s thin because at this point, she’s still nursing. And do you see the way her ears are laid back? My Wyoming woodsmanship is telling me she is none too happy to have us lingering around her baby.
Imagine My Surprise
So you can imagine my surprise when the curious colt trotted over to me and then to Patty.
My first thought was, “OK, now I’m going to die under thrashing hooves of this curios animal’s angry mother”.

Boy was I relieved when this young guy went trotting back to his mother and needless to say, we lived to tell the story.

Imagine My Surprise
Imagine my surprise on the 10th of December (23) while watching the nature segment on CBS Sunday Morning. It’s a tradition around here. Make a nice Sunday breakfast and watch the program. And as their manner is, the last segment is always some nature video from any place in the world. Lo and behold this Sunday’s feature was about the Wild Horses in Missouri.
Finally, here is a one-minute video from my living room.
