Wild Horses

A couple weekends ago my friend and I went to pick blackberries. His friend owns a good bit of land so we took a short trip there towards sunset. We've visited the property a few times before and the first time we went we hoped to see the wild horses living there. We walked around for over an hour, Sandi in tow, with no horses in sight. Then, as we were heading back to the truck, we saw seven wild and beautiful horses running. I didn't have my camera then but each time we go back I make sure I have my camera. Well, this time we found a few blackberries but three of the wild horses found us! I was so excited and I was desperate to get my camera out of my purse. Sandi was kind of freaked out by them and barked like crazy but wouldn't get near them. It's funny that she'll chase a deer to it's death but with horses she's all bark and no bite. Anyway, here are some of the pictures I took. It was close to sunset, as aforementioned, and my camera, as it turns out, is pretty crappy.


They were practically racing through the field and saw us and just stopped. That's when Sandi went bonkers. One of the horses was very bold and came within 3 feet of my window. I think they were a little hungry and next time I'll make sure to have some feed or apples (not sure what they prefer).





The whole trip was very exciting and they were just so beautiful and graceful. I took about thirty pictures (yes, and only four were really post worthy) and I hope to see them again.

Very cool! We have a place to go blackberry picking here in Eatonton, but I don't think there are any wild horses running around...
