Sand Wash Basin

There aren't many truly wild horses left in the U.S. Most of the horse now called wild are actually feral horses; descendents of once domestic horses used by the military or farmers that either escaped or were released. Sand Wash Basin is one of those places where the feral horses roam wild, act wild and look wild. They are beautiful animals living out their lives on the open high-plateau sagebrush landscape of Northwestern Colorado. This male watched over his herd from a ridge at sunset.
