Description

A Quick trip with my awesome friend, and great Tour Guide Nancy brought me to a quiet area in Reno where there was a herd of wild horses. This mother, and colt seemed pretty tame, and fixed on Grazin!!!One of the most beautiful and most majestic animals on the planet are HORSES. There is an argument and questions regardomg wild horses that roam North America to be considered native wildlife. They may have been “introduced” by man, but scientific evidence suggests that they are genetically the same as the horses that became extinct on the continent between 11,000 and 13,000 years ago. While mostly used for pleasure riding these days, they deserve respect and the right to exist as they are one of the many truly awesome things about Nevada.Rules of conduct around wild horses~
Half of the wild horses currently roaming free are actually domesticated horses that either escaped or were actually turned lose by their owners who no longer wanted them and didn’t bother to see to it that they got a new home. The other half, while maybe not 100% MUSTANG are still in fact, WILD- and like any wild animal, they can be dangerous.
Horses like to mosey around and assist in lawn trimming and fertilization efforts in rural housing areas, and while it is tempting to interact (and at times they like to invite themselves), keep these things in mind to keep both the horses and yourself safe.
