How they can survive is amazing, feel so sorry for them. Love the dreamy look to the picture, the colors are gorgeous, especially the blue of the sky in contrast to the landscape. You have done some remarkable work with these horses and have brought attention to their plight as more and more of their territory is taken over by man. A favorite here. #11407892
