Would you be surprised to learn we still have herds of wild horses roaming the American countryside? I guess I’ve always known it, but it’s not something I’ve given a whole lot of thought to until this past summer when a friend introduced me to them, up close and personal, in the desert of Mesa, Arizona.
I never realized the desert could have so many colors and so many textures and be so teeming with life. It was breathtaking. It was an absolutely brilliant day filled with experiences I will never forget. And as breathtaking as it was, since that day, what I have learned regarding the plight of these horses is enough to take anyone’s breath away… and break your heart in the process.
