The wild horses of Cold Creek Nevada were removed by the BLM in May of 2018. In a strange twist of fate, I was on my 14,000 mile ‘wild horse road trip’ and in Cold Creek photographing the wild horses- when the roundup was announced within hours. The wild horses were removed the next day. Two years later, I returned to the area, maybe for sentimental reasons- I’m not sure. I didn’t expect to see any wild horses. But there he was, on a ridge above Cold Creek, a gorgeous wild stallion - and he had a mare nearby, and she was with foal. The snow had just started to fall gently. I shed some tears when I saw this boy, his mare and the promise of a new bundle of joy. Much respect to these free spirits, who fill us with hope and inspire us to fight for their right to remain wild and free.
