Description
This is one of a multitude of wild horse herds that wander the thousands of acres in the Tallgrass Prairie in Osage County, Oklahoma. Placed here by the Bureau of Land Management in a lease program with landowners, it is a land of plentiful grass and water which can support the herds. Brought here from the western U.S. because of the lack of food and water in that area, it is a new and better life for the animals.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Hughes Ranch must be SW of Bartlesville on the highway toward Woolaroc... Correct ? If so, I have shot the horses there several times... The above image is south of Foraker ( west of the Tallgrass Prairie)... Thank you Karen ! :)

I just recently visited the Hughes Ranch area near Bartlesville to see the mustangs. I love the vantage point of this photo! Nice!

Beautiful horses, Jim! One of the pleasures of driving through Oklahoma is seeing all of the gorgeous horses. Thanks for capturing their beauty so well. L/F

Kate, somehow I missed your comment here way back in March, so just know that I appreciate you and this was an oversight ! :)

Thanks Donna ! They are pretty well taken care of and have many, many acres to graze on. They are rescued horses from the desert so are definitely better off.
