The First Day
Wild horses in Utah’s west desert. This guy was just hours old. After walking with the horses on my way back to the truck I came acrosss the birthing site. The evidence from the birth was still on the ground fairly fresh. After I got home and had reviewed my photos I realized it was not mud on the mother. I realized that this baby had to have been born that morning. I just missed it!

Geno, this is beautiful regardless if you saw it happen, maybe next time:-)) I know the feeling tho as my brother came over a few weeks back and told me he witnessed a Doe giving birth to twins,,,,,,,,I went oh man! Why didn’t I see that with my lens.

Lyn Thomsen
Awesome image Gene, you have captured the sprit of nature at it’s best. The mare and foal are in such beautiful condition, and the the lighting and tones are stunning.shame you didn’t get to see the birth,but i wouldn’t mind betting that could be the foals first drink by the stance of her/him.

Another stunning mare – this band of mustangs has some high-class looking stock in it’s numbers & the quality of future mustangs will be better for it. Shame you missed the foaling, it’s a pretty awesome experience – I’ve missed all my mares foaling down, but have been present for mares belonging to friends (typical!)
