Well, we’re back from our trip out west to photograph Wild Mustangs in Colorado and Wyoming. The trip was lead by Charles Glatzer and it was both exhilarating and exhausting. Fortunately the weather was warm and the light was kind. Unfortunately, the horses were wary and they were very challenging to get good photographs of. (We’ll do better NEXT time!)
The mustangs are sequestered in a few areas across the west. In this case the horses share the high desert with some pronghorn antelope, elk, rabbits, eagles, and a few hundred natural gas wells. It was thrilling just to watch their behaviors, the young foals less than a few weeks old running with the groups, the challenges by the stallions, the fighting and the horseplay.
I’ll have more to write about these magnificent animals in the coming weeks, but since so many people have been asking about them, we thought it would be good to share a handful of the better images we took home from this trip.
