Wild, wild horses…

Posted by Mitra on October 19, 2006, from Little Rock, Arkansas

…did drag us away from the booth for a few hours.

Participants Excy Johnston and Amy Gray Light invited us to visit their wild horse sanctuary just outside of Little Rock. The sanctuary is home to eleven wild mustangs who roam freely about the land.

Excy and facilitator Mitra Bonshahi drove out to feed the horses. While they paused for a picture, Ombre and his friend snacked on some hay straight from the back of the truck.

Here, a mother mustang protects her one-week-old filly from any danger that might lurk in the 38 acre land (including us, who she eyes cautiously as we sneak a picture).

Sorry, Rolling Stones, but thanks to Excy and Amy, nobody will be riding these horses someday.
