Wild Horses of Wyoming

With over 109,000 acres of free roaming land, the McCullough Peaks Wild Horses continues to give us the legend and history of the west. These horses to me or more than just animals, but rather families. 

Every horse has their own unique personalities which makes each one distinct from one another. From the charismatic personality of Thor, to the fiery side of Tonkawa, not one horse is the same. Between conflict's of bachelor stallions, to the loving family bond of a band as they welcome a new born, these wonderful horse families pour out the way nature should be. 

There are quite a few different bands, or families, with in each herd. A band generally consists of a lead band stallion, a lead mare, a lieutenant to the band stallion, and a few more mares. A lieutenant's roll in the band, should a band stallion have one, is to take care of conflicts that may be apparent to the family. However, a great trust has to be in place between the band stallion and the lieutenant because only the band stallion is allowed to breed with the mares. 

With every herd, there are always a few bachelor stallions lurking in the area. Bachelor stallions are stallions that were either kicked out from their band when they were around 2-3 (kinda like a kid going to college) and its their time to prove themselves alone or they could be older stallions that were over taken by a younger stallion and lost his band. Every now and again, a bachelor will decide to make an attempt to try and overtake a band stallions family, causing a great battle between the two, in a fight for supremacy for the band. Note, not one horse is severely injured. 

From day to day scuffles and spars over stud piles, and mares, band ranks, there is never a dull moment with my wonderful horse families.
