High on the Jicarilla Apache Reservation is Carson Forest where 285 wild horses roam free on 75,000 acres of land.
I feel fortunate enough to have roamed with them and experience their world first hand. Often at heights of 8,000 feet bands roamed together, bachelors finding company with each other, and stallions chasing others away. There are no real fence lines just freedom one that I pray will continue.
There are so many moments I will never forget but the one that stands out is watching a band run into the sunrise and another band joined. The two stallions met nose to nose and then they all ran together greeting the morning light. It was only for a brief moment that we saw that band but I can't think of a better way to start my day then with them. Communing with the bachelors as the soft morning light burst onto their coats was stunning as well.
Simple words cannot express the feeling in my heart.
I had heart jumping experiences (thanks to Brazos a stunning bay stallion), quiet times watching the bands, and a true learning experience that has broadened my view of horses in general. There is something so primal being out in 75,000 acres with the wild ones. A feeling that brings us all down to what is real in this world. No cell phone service, just our cameras and sense of adventure seeking these sacred beings out. I am so grateful to Lynne Pomeranz for sharing her world of wild horses with us and I hope many more go to see them and help preserve our sacred treasures. If we don't, our children will never know the rush of a band of wild ones passing them by running in the tall sage and yarrow, or just simply knowing that they still run free when we lay our heads on our pillows at night.
I left the Jicarilla wild horses with hope in my heart that I will return to this special place in the spring and see the bachelors, baby Aztec, and all the young ones growing up and STILL running free.
