The West is the land of the horse.   Horses, originally brought to North America by the Spanish, made getting around the vast distances much easier.   We celebrate the legacy of the horse.

A cowboy without a horse is just a pedestrian.

And he needs something to tie the horse up to.   How about another horse for the job?

Wild horses epitomize the spirit of the West.

But they are not limited to the west.

One can actually keep horses in town, and ride along the trails.   It was rather chilly this morning, so this horse is wearing a coat.

Wait a minute, what’s he doing here?   He’s only half a horse.

Not a horse either, but he does live in a barn 😉

I find all sorts of interesting things when I go exploring.
