These are a couple shots of free-roaming horses we found over the pass weekend. Both are young mares in pretty good shape. The one has the most unusal blaze face that I have seen and stayed very close to a bay stallion. The cold nights over the past several weeks have their winter coats come on.

We had found several small groups of Ky’s free-roaming horses when we first arrived in the area, but had been driving several miles back a dirt road when we found these two. A big bay stallion and a young mare that we had not seen before. On this trip we found about 60-70 horses with most of them new to us. Google maps show 100′s of miles of dirt paths that lead into this area, most requiring a 4-wheeler. I feel like we are only seeing the few horses that venture to the edge of the large area as we seldom see the same ones.

I spent the day with three of my grandchildren photographing the free-roaming horses in eastern Ky….. Good day.
