Stunning shots – love horses, but I’m a bit afraid of them – massive animals close up. Have only seen wild horses once and that was on Easter Island – they were on the rocks in the ocean too. Totally fearless. The sign is brilliant.
If you want to see a big animal have a look at my post on the eland… https://visitstothepark.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/eland/ Now that is a big animal…
As a fairly new visitor to your blog this is a treat to see. Love the photos & humour 😆
Thanks for the nice comment… as I say “what you see is what you get”… never thought my odds and ends would be so enjoyed… but thank you for the kind comment..
some real nice rides there
There are some beauties… but I believe there is a local ordinance that they are protected to be allowed to remain in their chosen setting and none may be captured… although I believe some have become very tame and will come right up to you for a head rub…
even an untamed one likes an apple and a head rub
How lovely; it reminds me of a park in Maryland called Assaueague, where wild horses roam free. It has always caught my imagination and fantasies.
I’m going to do a post on the village where these horses roam… it is such a wonderful place (one of my favourites) where time seems to have stood still and nature is left to do it’s thing…
beautiful place and horses, I even like the Rhino butts!
Good one.. and thanks..
How beautiful they are… fascinated me! Especially the last one. Thank you dear Rob, love, nia
Thanks Nia…
Beautiful horses in beautiful settings. Great captures. THANKS for visiting my “pun-ny” photoblog and leaving a “like.” I can’t help hearing plants, animals, and objects “talk.”

Thank you John… for the return visit… I appreciate it..
Beautiful horses. And I love the sign.
I’m posting a blog on the village when you see the houses… some could have fairies in them..lol
Wonderful images, Bulldog….xomeryl
Thank you
What a pleasure to look at these photos 🙂
Thank you… thought you would enjoy them…
I did, thanks 😀
Magical shots bulldog ~ and that sign – I want one!!! xo Much Love ~R
Thanks Robyn… I’m doing a post on the town… there are some weird houses there that a fairy could quite easily live in..
Beautiful animals!
Thank you…
Sono animali fantastici, anche io mi sono divertita a fotografarli alcune volte. Bellissime foto
Ciao, buona giornata
Patrizia
Thank you Patrizia… sono un argomento così bello da fotografare … Bulldog..
Beautiful horses …. glad to see the Rhino’s too. I really hope the next generation will be able to see some in their natural habitat and not as pictures alongside the Dodo. Laura
How I agree with you… with 528 Rhinos already taken out this year in Kruger it is painfully obvious that they need to become more aggressive… but I did see the last poacher, buyer, exporter… got a 40 year sentence.. I still prefer what is happening in Zimbabwe… if your carrying a gun in the wrong place they shoot you… good on them.. it’s going to take more than those few for the human race to become extinct…
They are so beautiful!
Thank you … I agree..
Oh they are stunning!
Thanks Julie…
always like to watch horses..majestic animals..thank you so much for this post:)
Thank you for looking in…
Looks like a beautiful place for horses! The photos are really amazing 🙂 Makes me want to go there and ride a horse!
It is a beautiful place I’m putting a post together trying to show the rock formations that the horses live amid…
beautiful photos as always! Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise and those that live there.
Thank you.. coming from someone that lives in a little piece of heaven, I take it as a huge complement…
Oooooooohhhhhhhh….I LOVE THEM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now these horses are wild yet unafraid .. not that they will approach you but are pretty used to human audiences… now all I have to do is the next time go there is use ideas I’ve learnt from you… and maybe I can also create a bit of magic like you do… OR.. I need to see these horses as though through your eyes… and I don’t think I’m creative enough to do that.. but I am going to try…
Exquisite…and I noticed the butterfly you caught in the first one! I love horses and you’ve taught me something I never suspected…South Africa has wild horses! The fact that they survive is amazing. They would have a lot more to tolerate than our wild horses. Thanks for such a great bunch of shots!
Thank you… they do very well in the area.. and I suspect keep the village lawns closely mown .. we spent a few nights there the year our house was flooded… and to see these horses at night in the moon light cavorting around was magical…
I’m starting to believe that if there is an animal out there you will find it 🙂 Cool!
I will certainly go looking for it…. that I can assure you… but these are always near the village…
Beautiful picture. I always dreamed of seeing horses in the wild since a I was a kid. Perhaps one day. Thanks. Have a blessed week.
Thank you so much… they are a pleasure to watch as they cavort around locally and through the little village…
But that sign is very funny. 😀 Stunning photos again, bdt. You have such a talent.
Thanks I love the place.. the rock formations with these wild horses amid them… going to have to learn more from Suzanne… to get the spectacular shots…
I love horses 🙂 These are wonderful! Thank you 🙂 K xx
Thanks I actually have 100 s of photos of these horses.. can’t help but take more every-time we go there…
