A stallion (the one on the left) has a new mare in his band that is in heat. When a 2nd stallion (the one the right) heads toward the mare, a brief, but heated "discussion" ensued. Long story short: the stallion on the right departed without even a snippet of a "visit" with the mare. ~ The horses live in the Tonto National Forest by the Salt River in the U.S. state of Arizona. The river is their lifeline for water and eel grass.

Beautiful capture! Glad it was a brief "misunderstanding" and no one was hurt! And, I am so glad that you feel the herds are successfully managed ,so many places are not! So so sad!!

Many thanks for the wonderful commentary. I was disillusioned by the SRWHMG's management. Great caring volunteers, but between the current law suit the horses are facing and the personal goals and leadership of the SRWHMG's President, the horses don't have a prayer to retain their wild nature or genetic viability.
