Pics are lovely, if this is near your home you are lucky to get opportunity to glimpse such animals.

[Blackbird6 in reply to Lemon7]

Hi lemon

Yes they are very close a 5 minute walk before I see them but then it's all forest and open so they all run free with cows donkeys 💞💞

Fantastic photo, doesn't it make you feel glad to be alive, witnessing these beautiful animals in the wild is rare. Thank you once again for sharing x

[Blackbird6 in reply to Izb1]

Absolutely makes me happy to see them daily but not always in mating weeks tend to stay back as theres a lot of tension chasing between them they can charge the females down to get them tired for mating..have a lovley day Izb💞💞

Lovely pic. We are so fortunate near me as there is a large herd of horses about 2 miles from our home. The mares are foaling at the moment but I haven’t had the opportunity to get up there and see them as I broke my leg next to my ankle last week. 🙄

I’m guessing since you mention releasing the stallions that they don’t get to live in herds naturally? Seems a shame but I guess if space is limited it makes sense. Do you know the reasoning behind the separation? I am curious to know.

[Blackbird6 in reply to ladytelita]

Sorry to hear about your leg recover soon ♥️ . I live in the new forest area where the roam free with donkeys and cows . The let so many out periodically throughout the year for mating and called back in . I think its down to the aggression they can cause in the herds as they chase the females down till they get tired out before mating this can get quite alarming and theres traffic on the roads and if there is a stampede on it can be as many as 50 ponies running at high speed in a chase down so quite high risk that's my understanding of it but could be wrong 💞
