Wild Horses of America

Original Size: 30" x 40"
"I was filming the wild horses of McCullough Peaks in Wyoming and captured the two stallions Talequah and Running Bear fighting over a mare in season. The white stallion, Running Bear decided to appoint himself as the lieutenant stallion and "help" Talequah with his mares (while secretly trying to steal them). Talequah was not happy about it. This situation went on every day between the two stallions while I was there, sparking many scuffles and confrontations between them. You can see the huge open wound on Talequah’s throat, probably given by Running Bear. I used this scene as the opening clip of my WHOA Wild Horses of America series on my YouTube Channel.
