Wild Horses



 We see lots of wild horses out here in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest.  We have seen small family groups like this one.  We have also seen as many as two dozen or more hanging out together.  Sometimes they are even mixed with cattle.  The forest is full of cattle because the ranchers are awarded grazing rights.  It doesn't seem to bother the horses or even the elk that the cattle are in the same area.   The horses all look healthy and the little ones are very cute.

Now that it has rained and rained and rained there is green grass everywhere for all the animals to graze.  There is also water in ponds and puddles and catch basins all over the forest.  It is so good to see everything green and growing with plenty of water for all the critters to drink.

We have been living with rental cars all summer because our truck has been in the shop waiting on parts.  We will finally get it back this week but it has been frustrating to not be able to get something fixed because everything is on back order.  Even if we wanted to buy a new truck we have looked and there is nothing new available.  I guess we should be grateful that we are getting our truck back at all.
