I haven’t had a chance to post at least three trips to Onaqui. The latest trip was on April 28. So many photographs to process! But I did get a once-in-a-lifetime sequence I thought I would get posted. I believe the band stallion is Valentino (grey stallion). He is chasing another stallion, (the red one), at full-speed! The red stallion steps on a slick cow pie with his left front leg (image 25-27). His leg goes out from under him. He eventually hits the ground at full-speed. Notice that even while he is sliding, he is still trying to bite the grey stallion (image 57-62).
Unfortunately they eventually go behind other horses and I lose focus, but the red horse is still trying to fight (or defend himself) from the grey stallion. The red horse immediately got up and spent the rest of the afternoon taunting the gray band stallion. More images to come.
Greig,
Saying thank you is not enough for campaigning, documenting, respecting and preserving the memory of these magnificent beings.
I feel your heartbreak with what is being done to our wild horses and burros and know how hard it has been on you but please continue to be a wonderful voice for them.
I very much admire and respect you and the beautiful work.
Many many many thanks.

Thank you for the kind comments Roxane…
Yikes. Are both horses OK?
Yes, thankfully everyone was OK.
