Wild Horses Project
I am grateful to my good friend Kim Michels for introducing me to the horses. She is an outstanding wild horse photographer and is thoroughly familiar with the Pryor Mountain mustangs as well as the McCullough Peaks wild horses. Without her help and coaching, my horse photos would not have been possible. Kim has a beautiful collection of horse photos for sale.

Two wild horses run through the sage brush on the McCullough Peaks Wild Horse Range near Cody, Wyoming.
This mare got a little frisky on a Wyoming wild horse range. The mustangs found on this range are thought to be the progeny of Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West show horses.
These two horses in the Pryor Mountains are fixin' to have a face off, the wrong way.
This wild stallion is pushing his Pinto mares from behind, moving them to a less threatening location, protecting them from a hostile takeover. This is the only all- pinto band of horses on the McCullough Peaks Wild Horse Range near Cody, Wyoming.

This beautiful mare stopped to pose for a soft, glamour shot.
Get movin' before I take a bite out of your crime! There's nothing to see here.
Look Red, a mouse! Let's stomp him!
This mare (Encore) is the offspring of a well known stallion (Cloud) in the Pryor Mountains of Montana.
Nothing better than a nuzzling back rub in the trees!
A band of wild horses runs across a Pryor Mountain meadow some 300 yards away. The wild mustangs found in the Pryor Mountains of Montana are said to be descendants of the Spanish conquistadors' horses. A tight crop and texturizing made this photo useable for card sized photos (up to 5x7).
These two aren't quite seeing 'eye to eye.' A bright background and shadows give this photo the 'Zoro Effect."

What's that? I can't hear you over the wind!
