All Legs 38W9508 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: One doesn’t have to look hard to see the love between a dam and her foal. This colt is likely no more than a day or so old. He is still a bit wobbly but horses stand within minutes of birth. They have to in order to nurse, and they must nurse in order to survive. They usually begin trying to run within a day and this little guy is no exception. You can see from his stature, he is all legs. The legs of horses at birth are proportionately large compared to adults. The reasons for this are clear. #WildHorses

158.) My Assateague Island sweater, featuring horses. We visited the location on the day I finished the sweater. The horses are in a variety of colors because real horse colors did not show up well on the background yarn I used. And the background is not the same color as the grass because a vehicle with off-road capabilities is needed to visit the part with sand. This sweater has been photographed to be a T-shirt someday. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #assateague #assateagueisland #horses #horse #pony #ponies

Feral Foal by Sea Moss Monster Via Flickr: Wild Chincoteague Foal on Assateague Island Assateague's wild horses are well known, even to many people who have never been to the island. The "wild" horses on Assateague are actually feral animals, meaning that they are descendants of domestic animals that have reverted to a wild state. Horses tough enough to survive the scorching heat, abundant mosquitoes, stormy weather and poor quality food found on this remote, windswept barrier island have formed a unique wild horse society. www.nps.gov/asis/learn/nature/horses.htm
