I've done it!
North America -09Posted by Ove Wed, October 07, 2009 14:18:10I have done it!
I’m not a virgin anymore.
The hoof you see below belongs to a scared feral Mustang stallion roaming the Nevada desert. I’ve got it on video too. It is kind of an “interesting” feeling finding your self standing in the middle of a herd of feral Mustang stallions that “correct” each other with markings and sounds frequently when something does not suit them. I did pick the stallions on purpose since they don’t have anything as long as you are not threatening there females. Of course I always positioned my self so that I had the stallion between myself and the mares and foals.
Cold Creek is a interesting place to study things like grazing habits (as long as you keep away from where and when they feed them alf-alfa) since the Mustangs are pretty used to people and they don’t run away as soon as they see you as they do further north in Nevada.
I wanted to see exactly what, how and how much they grazed and I wanted real close up shots (I do have some very detailed videos now).
Green grass? – No way.
Grass? – Well, maybe.
Plants that crunch? – Oh, yes.

Hej,
1.Grattis till den häftiga nyupptagna känslan. Hoven alltså.
2.Vad heter växten?
Här är det blött geggigt och fullt med fruset gräs överallt. Höet är gödslat och starkt och fodersäckar med socker sprids allt mer ....

Yes, amazing that he allowed you to pick up his foot and my first thought upon seeing the pictures is, the bars! What is the deal with his bars?
While studying this picture, I have to say, that foot looks amazingly like my quarter horses foot - (she said with brazen pride!:-)

Is this the foot of a wild mustang? He just let you pick it up? What did you deduce from those bars?
