A little treat, shot in the Mojave Preserve:
About 15 years ago in this exact spot, a couple horses wandered over to Zeke to check him out. I’ve always assumed they belonged to some rancher, because they were not at all skittish — I placed my palm on one’s forehead to tell him to leave Zeke in peace, and he nickered softly at me, then walked away. In that linked post I called him a gelding, an assumption based on his brawniness and sweet nature. Now I’m not so sure. Could he have been a wild horse habituated to tourist carrot handouts? Or just Zeke-infatuated into placidity?
Anyway, it’s a sweet memory and a lovely video. Enjoy.

This is awesome, Chris. I’m gonna sound real stupid now by saying that I didn’t even know there were wild horses in MNP! Cdertainly haven’t ever seen them! Lucky for you.
