Hi Mary,

Such a shame - much of our past is now but a memory . . . the pity.
Masterfully penned . . . thanks!

Best wishes,

Lance

The horses you saw were the best Spain had, 400 years ago. Since then, they have developed into a tough and hardy lot. The wild horses of the high steppes [their ancesters] are also tough, but bear little of the beauty and grace of two thousand years of breeding from Arabia to England.

You are so lucky to have seen them. My brother is out exploring Arizona most weekends, but he has never reported seeing Mustangs.

Wild horses once ran freely against this untamed land. But as life would have it, more free spirits against their will were taken by Man.

Time and again, Man's actions end up as a blight on this lovely gem of a planet. Your theme is much the same as the one I express in my last poem posted here. Thank you, Mary. Love and best wishes to you,

Regis

meeting creatures of the wild on their terms in the wilds is a unique experience -- I recall being among the wild ponies that roamed Assateague Island in the years before there was a bridge connecting it to the mainland -- it was a magnificent sight to behold -- thanks -- God bless - JMW

So very sad what we've done to these once magnificent free creatures. The BLM has rounded up thousands of them, and now, they are contemplating killing them all because ranchers don't want to share cattle grazing grass with them. Our nation should be filled with shame. They should be among our national treasures.
