Out shooting Friday evening.

Very nice Tentoes.

Very beautiful, Ten!

That's remarkable, so many horses just ranging anywhere. Are they truly wild, or just herds free-ranging to be rounded up later? I saw a few gates and fences. Thanks for the share.

Good work mate

Amazing views Tentoes! Thanks for sharing!

Actually, these are "feral," not wild. Mustangs are descended from horses brought to America by the Spanish, which makes them feral rather than wild. They tend to overpopulate their habitat, so the  U.S. Bureau of Land Management captures excess. They can be adopted directly from the bureau, and are popular for riding horses, but there is not much demand for riding horses, so many of them go to farms and ranches where there is space to keep them.

One thing you'll notice is there are no young among them

They're  a food source in France. Leaner meat than beef too.

I think there would be riots in America. Oh, wait, there are.

One-year old Percheron foals. The meat is known as Poulain.  Horse meat is frowned upon in the UK but is on general sale at farmers markets in France.

Fabulous,  are there really wild?

These are feral mustangs that were captured in the wild and kept here. To maintain the wild population, they capture some each year.

Wild and free!   like it.

They are fenced in, but their area is many square miles. It is also greener than where they lived before.

Nice,   good to see them being looked after.

People adopt them and they make good riding horses, but there's not a big enough demand for riding horses to keep up.
