The Black, stunning wild stallion of Lost Creek, Wyoming, walking with the dark clouds behind him. Sometimes an image just calls out for black and white, even though most of the time I love color. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses

What happens to wild horses after they are rounded up and removed from their home? Here are wild horses that were rounded up from Adobe Town and White Mountain in 2024 now in the Rock Springs holding facility in Wyoming. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses #wildhorseroundups

This lovely, sturdy wild bay roan mare is Autumn, matriarch of the Roan family in Stewart Creek. You can see the wisdom and patience in her eyes, leading the sometimes unruly, large mostly roan family. Lead mares are the heart of the family. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses

Sirius, wild curly stallion of Salt Wells Creek, named for the brightest star in the night sky. He is now in a band with another of stallion Ike’s offspring, Sosoni. Here is an image of him in color and in black and white - which do you like better? #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses

Visiting the south herd in Salt Wells Creek I encountered this beautiful little wild family, Ivanhoe’s band, full of curlies and they seemed as interested in my as I was in them, especially mare Godiva and her daughter Ophelia. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses

This is wild stallion Mouse with his very expressive eyes and many battle scars. He has a large beautiful family and sires many cremellos, which of course I love. He was keeping his family away from bachelors and other stallions last month in Salt Wells Creek, Wyoming. #wildhorses

This is dollar, wild grey curly stallion of Salt Wells Creek. I usually have a hard time taking a photograph of Dollar with his head up, but on this day last month, he’s the consummate wild stallion with the wild land behind him. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses

Happy Mother’s Day! This is wild stallion Takini’s lead mare Natasha and her new filly Blythe in the Red Desert Complex of Wyoming. I was honored that Natasha brought her filly toward me and let me get a good look at her precious look-alike daughter. Wild horse mothers are wonderful. #wildhorses

A new wild filly in Woodrow and Legacy’s family - Carrotte. How could I resist with that marking and that color? She is a cutie doted on by her mother. I was happy to see her and the rest of the family when I visited Salt Wells Creek two weeks ago. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses

I first met wild overo pinto stallion Cosmo when he was 2 years old and still with his family. I was captivated by his stunning blue eyes and spectacular markings. Cosmo has grown into a big, beefy and powerful stallion, still a bachelor with the south herd. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses

Calypso’s band. She’s the pinto roan beauty on the left. They were standing and nearby was another colorful band, and their palomino stallion Ohiyesa was not at all pleased and moved his family off to get away - but the other band followed on a windy day in the Red Desert Complex. #wildhorses
