As I was heading back to the main road two weeks ago I suddenly saw a dramatically marked wild pinto stallion and his bachelor friend. I stopped and watched as he ran back and forth in front of me in Arapahoe Creek, Wyoming. Cochise is his name. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses

This is the wild curly stallion Bello, and I was delighted to meet him and his family last month at a spring in Salt Wells Creek for the first time. Bello has an amazing presence about him and I feel lucky to have spent time with him. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses

The Wild Horse and Burro Program at the prison in Canon City, Colorado has ended. More horses are in holding facilities than there are in the wild & the specter of project 2025 calling for killing the horses in holding. Listen anywhere you get your podcasts. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses

Jack of Hearts, wild curly stallion leaping from the waterhole on top of the mountain in springtime last year. I’m always excited to see Jack when I am visiting Salt Wells Creek. With his blue eyes and curls, and care for his family. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses

Here’s a softer portrait than I posted a few days ago of the wild curly stallion Legacy. You can clearly see his gorgeous ringlets and the texture in his coat. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses This image is available here: livingimagescarolwalker.artstorefronts.com/warehouse/ar...

An image of Thor from a few years ago. He was one of my very favorite wild horses, and I was immediately smitten when I first saw him as a foal. I think of him often, and am glad he lived his whole life wild and free. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses

Wild curly stallion Jack of Hearts and his son Ace of Hearts at the waterhole. Jack has always been one of my very favorite wild horses in Salt Wells Creek. He is usually very cautious at the waterhole when there are other bands around. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses

A wild curly stallion named Legacy embodies that spirit of freedom: wild, proud, fierce, tough, loving to his family, and completely suited to the gorgeous place he calls home. May he always run free. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses

This is the gorgeous wild curly stallion Coyote who is Bubba’s son. He’s still young but has a family that he is very proud and protective of. I hadn’t seen him for several years so it was a thrill spending time with he and his family in Salt Wells Creek, Wyoming. #wildhorses #wildhoofbeats

I was delighted to find the wild tricolor pinto stallion Zephyr and his palomino pinto son Samir last week in Antelope Hills, Wyoming. It’s been wonderful getting to know this little family this year. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses #wildhorsepc

A gorgeous wild horse family in Lost Creek running on a stormy windy day. Their stallion is on the right, but behind them a bit distant is a blue roan stallion, dogging the family in hopes of getting a mare or the whole band. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses #wildhorsepc

Wild stallion Teton on a wild stormy day in Wyoming. He’s one of my very favorite wild horses in Salt Wells Creek, Wyoming. He’s been much easier to find the last couple of years since he has settled down as lieutenant with Sid and his family. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses

Wild stallions Trilos (the pinto) and Star Sky (the varnish roan) having a small dust up. These two stallions both have small families and are usually near each other, so it’s nothing serious. In Stewart Creek, WY. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses

Wild stallion rituals in Salt Wells Creek. These bachelor boys are not serious - it’s just practice for when they have families of their own to protect. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses
