#FoalFriday! Young Cisco is not a foal anymore, but don't tell him that. Natural weaning in the wild is lots different! While foals begin taking in other food sources as early as 2 months, they continue to nurse up to 10-11 months. It is no longer for nutrition, but for nurture.
It's terribly hot these days, so it's time for an #IceAge masterpiece from the Swabian Jura: a tiny (4.8 cm lenght) #horse carved in mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago - the oldest known sculpture of a horse.
On display at Museum Universität Tübingen.
#StallionSaturday! I spotted this handsome guy roaming the desert alone, miles from any other horses. I walked about 1/2 mile to join him for a bit and take a few photos, then left him at peace, because I can identify.
Eating: it's such a pleasure. And a privilege, considering how too many don't get enough. And yet we tend to treat eating as a chore, something to just get done at the office desk, or over the sink. It shouldn't take that much horse sense to recognize that eating is something to savor, and enjoy.
#MustangMonday! Sorry that I have been absent from here lately, but I have been in the west desert making new #Wildhorse#Art! Spring on the desert brings new grasses but there is still snow on the mountains. These three mares are from Chic's band in the north Onaqui herd and they are enjoying the new grass as they move to the waterhole.
#FoalFriday - Family for a Day! When Little Star's new foal Sully was knocked about and injured by stallions trying to get to her, one stallion, Apple stepped in to protect them. He fought to defend them until Sully was on his feet again.
For those #animal lovers out there, here is a piece that captures the spirit of #freedom they embody. This #DigitalArt painting of a #horse galloping through the clouds at sunset was done in a limited color scheme focused on the colors of gold and purple, my favorite 💜. Hope you enjoy! If you do, you can purchase it on my website 👇🏾: http://camryn-tillman.pixels.com
Wild horse hair, he don't care! A majestic black stallion from the south Onaqui herd, known as Cash, looks out over the range.
If you ever forget there is magic in the world, just go hang with the wild ones.
