“Wild horses” or “feral horses”? The debate rages on in Alberta, Canada. The provincial government believes that the wild horses west of Sundre, Alberta are the descendants of domestic horses used in logging and guiding/outfitting operations in the early 1900’s. The Wild Horse Society of Alberta (WHOAS) believes that they are of Spanish descent. WHOAS is so sure of this that they have sent away DNA samples to the University of Texas, Equine Genetics Lab for testing.” - Wild Horses Of Alberta

They are magnificent!

Unfortunately we couldn't stop long on the road.

Lovely. What unusual coloration the one has! Was it simply a brown mane, or was there a brown streak there as well?

It's always a thrill to see them and their condition is amazing.
