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

Liberate the White House 4A0633 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: He was just a foal last year when we first met. I was delighted to see him again this year. Perhaps someday I will own enough land to be able to give him and some of his band a home. It may only be a dream but nothing would make me happier. In these days of chaos, dreams can help keep our heads above the waterline in a sea of lies and raging tide of ignorance. #WildHorses #Lockhimup #LiberatetheWhiteHouse

Final Bids

Actually, this auction was too damn nuts for me to post prices like usual. So instead, have the top group:

48 horses, over $1600, and there are so many more.

Other stats:

Every horse sold with 2 or more bids.

Only 10 horses stayed under $100.

The lowest halter started horse was $615, the lowest saddle started horse was $2600; highest was $2105 and $8505 respectively.

157 bids was the most on any horse, she is in the screenshots above and went for $2000+.

Wild Horse From the Onaqui Herd

Mother and Child 3I8476 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: There is nothing more tender than the bond between mother and child. The phenomenon isn't species specific. The moments may be brief and fleeting but they are there for those who choose to watch and wait. On their meandering path across the open plain, this young filly is comforted by a gentle nudge with mom. Though young horses in captivity will usually be weaned by 6 months, wild horses will sometime nurse up until about one year. This intensifies the bond between mother and child. #WildHorses

I recently attended a workshop photographing the wild Mustangs in the Rush Valley area near Dugway in Utah. These horses are descended from the Pony Express horses thet were simply let loose when the Pony Express Company lost it's contract with the Post Office. At present there the "Onaqui Mountain Herd" has approximatley 200 Mustangs on 43000 acres of federal land. (down from 500 or so a few years ago due to unpleasant actions by the BLM, a government bureau which is mandated to actually look after the land for the horses but which is in the pocket of sheep farmers and cattle ranchers) We spent four wonderful days photographing in the company of these fine creatures and here are some of my results. #mustangs #wildhorses #utah #rushvalley #onaquimountainherd #onaqui #herd #horses #dugway, #chrislord #pixielatedpixels #chrislordnyc #nycphotographer #exploretocreate #justgoshoot #photoediting #photoshop #everything_edited #livelysolutions #creative_shots #travelphotography #travel #huntsphotovideo #workshop ©2022 Chris Lord's Pixielated Pixels - So much more to see and\or purchase on my website, link in my Bio, thanks My Main Website https://ift.tt/nYdvg7i Fine Art Prints available at https://ift.tt/5ptZJ7O Exclusive Limited Editions at https://ift.tt/o6BgGC8 In England?

#Repost @sharkguardian_mel @download.ins --- Reposted from @katherineheigl I really need your help! I was horrified to hear that the federal government plans to round up Utah's iconic and beloved Onaqui wild horse herd. This will separate family groups, terrorize the mustangs, and injure or kill many horses during the traumatic trapping process. The roundup is cruel and unnecessary, as there is already a fertility control program in place to manage their numbers. Time is running out for these beautiful animals, please take action at www.saveonaqui.com #saveonaqui ❤ @freewildhorses Photos: @wildhorsephotosafaris #wild #horses #horsesofinstagram #justiceforanimals #animalcruelty (at Utah, USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPzVcI7hQgO/?utm_medium=tumblr

One of the newest members of the Onaqui herd posing for a pic with its mom. It warms my heart and makes me sad at the same time to see these new babies being born in the wild. Knowing what’s coming for these beautiful creatures in the form of a roundup. The pending roundup is scheduled to start July 12th. Make your voices heard and let the government know to stop the inhumane way they round up these precious animals. (at West Desert) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPAyYLzh6Y3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Slowing Down 317224 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: Our lives are generally fast paced. We work hard. Sometimes that ethic bleeds over into our recreational time. I frequently find myself frequently trying to do and see too many things in a short period of time. When I visited the wild horses on the Pony Express trail this year I knew I only had a day or so to spend. I decided to pass the time enjoying those horses that I managed to encounter easily rather than running from place to place to find others. I also took some time to play with exposures and walk the landscape. At one point, a few horses came running by. I slowed my shutter speed and did a few panning shots. Panning photos, for those that are not familiar, are essentially motion blurs but with one caveat. The one necessity is that at least one portion of the photo should be in relative focus. Otherwise, you simply have a blurry photo. Not everyone loves pan shots but I love the sense of movement and activity that they convey. It also allows me to slow down and enjoy my time in the wild. #WildHorses
