Wild Horses in Big Bend
Wild Horses in Big Bend, now I am not positive these are wild horses but they were out in the middle of no where with no fences or anything. What I find fascinating about this first photo, is that the horse in the back ground, which I am pretty sure it is a mule, looks gigantic compared to the horse in the for ground.
This is the last of the photos from Big Bend National park. It was quite the trip, I had never heard of this place until we went to it. I am glad we had the chance to visit and be a part of a landscape that seems like time forgot.
Smaller horses are probably ideal for desert life. Mules are even better, they are a cross between a male donkey and a female horse. I grew up with horses so I still have a love for them and enjoy being around them when I can.
Below we were wandering down by the Rio Grande river when this gentleman came around the corner to let his pony get a drink of water.
My brother and his wife have had mules for years, when I was visiting them this year I took a few photos of both of their mules and created a frame around them so they would have something to hang on their walls. A nice portrait, which took quite a few photos to get them to look up with their ears forward.
Beautiful animals with the sweetest eyes.
The eyes can tell a story all on their own, right now you can see my camera and I in the reflection of Mac’s eye. 🙂

You in the eye of that horse and that horse in your lens is so powerful. What a metaphor! Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome Lisa. Thank you 😊
Nice i like what you share i will ne happy if you visite my website about wilderness and survival skills thanks mat https://wildernesshero.com
Nice
Thank you 😊
Love the framed shots – those perky ears make the composition. Mules and I have never gotten along – not sure what the problem is, I’m generally a nice guy – they just don’t like me (one down the street keeps getting lose and ending up in our woods – when we come upon each other, our relationship usually devolves into name calling and insulting each other’s mothers)
Lol, you are so funny. I raised draft horses for years, the gentle giants. Now that is a horse for you. 😊
Can they be tamed?
Yes, they catch them and handle them all the time. 😊
Beautiful animals up close and far away – I like the soft touch last three pictures best.
Thank you very much Linda.

They looks innocent. Nice images. 🐴💕
Thank you very much 😊
magnificent photos! The latter look like the face of a donkey or a burro. Those distant shots look like horses. But I don’t know the place and its nature and therefore I can be wrong
I think you are right, it is taken in southern Texas, in the desert. That one looks gigantic compared to the horse in front.
We didn’t see any wild horses at Big Bend, but we did see wild burros with a horse near Terlingua. I have heard other people say they are in the park too. Thank you for sharing, Sandra!
Someone else mentioned that also.. These are the only 3 we saw just out in the middle of nowhere as we were driving the back roads.
Lovely photos, Sandra. Like you, horses have always been a big part of my life. Never had a mule but they have more common sense than a horse that is for sure.
Yes, my brother says that as well. They ride theirs a lot up in the mountains.
I believe I remember reading that there are no truly wild horses in the Americas, since the first horses here were the domesticated horses of Europeans in the era of exploration and colonialism. So these would more properly be considered feral, not wild, but none of that changes the fact that these are great pictures.
I believe you are right. We did see cattle just roaming around as well in the middle of no where. With no fences anywhere and signs along the highways to watch for cattle.
I would like to see Big Bend someday…
It is quite the place. Going up to the higher elevation where Chiso Basin is, like a completely new world up there. Pine trees and forest.
Beautifully photographed as always. Thanks for the share and the photo that captivates me is the eyes pf the horse!👍
Thank you, yes there is just something about looking into a horses eye. They are so large and expressive.
Indeed and from their eyes, I could tell the horses were smiling.
Lovely photos Sandra. Thanks so much. I enjoyed the information about donkeys and mules and horses.
Thank you very much Chris. 😊

Me to Francine, they are such beautiful animals. 😊
You have made beautiful portraits of these horses but I prefer the first photo and the eye of the horse, so soft so tender.
If these horses are wild, they don’t have a lot of fresh grass around them but there is this water point, it’s already there!
Yes, even the cows we saw here and there are grazing on dried up grasses. I don’t know how they do it.
Wow amazing love horses
