Wyoming update

Just a few photos from Molly's camping trip last weekend - on the Wyoming / Montana border. Slightly spectacular scenery and wildlife! To keep up with Molly, the best way is to follow her on Instagram at  mollyonthemap.

The Bighorn river and canyon. 


Wild horse .....

A wild stallion - beautiful!
 I quote Molly: While we often generalize wild horses as “mustang”, the truth is that most populations across the US have a muddled genetic history. Ancestors often bred with a multitude of breeds such as drafts and thoroughbreds. The Pryor Mountain wild horses, however, are genetically unique and most of their traits do indeed stem from the Spanish mustang. Fortunately this population is closely monitored on the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range. Keeping population numbers low while maintaining genetic diversity means better conditions for both the horses and local wildlife alike.

Great horned owl.

Gorgeous colours (and dog).

Molly.
