Wild Horses: France TV Claims Wild Horses are Overrunning the West | Straight from the Horse's Heart

Wild Horses: France TV Claims Wild Horses are Overrunning the West | Straight from the Horse's Heart



On Tuesday morning, I took a journalist and a cameraman from France TV
out to a waterhole at Sand Wash Basin, home of one of my favorite wild
horse herds. The previous day, they had been driven around a herd
management area near Lander by the BLM wild horse and burro expert
there, and had only seen 3 wild horses. They were thrilled as we drove
up to see at least 60 wild horses around the waterhole, and they kept
asking me if the horses were going to leave. I explained that the horses
in this area were relatively used to people, and if we approached
quietly and respectfully, we should be able to get some good footage of
wild horse behavior.
