I entered a booth at the Mesa Swap Meet recently and saw beautiful photographs of wild horses. As I stood admiring them, a lady came up near me, said the mustangs roam out where she lives, then continued on to the back of the store. My curiousity was raised, so I went back to talk to her to get more information. After getting a general location from her, I went online to see if I could get a more detailed location. It didn't take long to know exactly where I had to go to see these magnificent animals.

So, I grabbed my photography-loving friend and off we went on a wild-horse chase. It was both rewarding and thrilling.

Even though we were able to get out and walk the desert floor toward the animals, they, of course, kept retreating. And because we didn't want to spook them, we kept a safe and reasonable distance.

Here are a few shots .

On a return trip, we found a herd that was smaller, maybe a dozen or so, but the horses were much closer. Those pics are toward the bottom of this page.
