Bucking String

Last weekend I was able to spend a few hours in the midst of a herd of 60 horses. What an amazing experience. These horses were bucking stock used in rodeos. They were curious, skittish, inquisitive and wild. Some would come up and sniff me and others were cautious and stayed at the back of the pack. I loved seeing all of their interactions and caught a few pecking order fights, positioning and just plain bullying. I hope to be able to go back and spend some time again soon. I hope that you enjoy the pictures.

Love them!! Are any mustangs?
I like the first picture where the two in the back are looking at you like, "don't forget us!" Nice captures Les.

It was fun photographing them. I hope to spend some more time this summer in the middle of the mare and foal herd. That should be fun! There are no mustangs in this group. There may be mustang blood, but none that would have been adopted, only bred. Thanks for the comments!
