wild ponies


Exmoor ponies don't need assistance.





She dropped her sprog four hours earlier,
on the moor right outside our window.






So wobbly yet. What way are my four legs supposed to go?


We had a great walking holiday on the Devon moors
and the [semi] wildlife came to our frontdoor.

Four hours old and already walking. Isn't nature a marvel?

Yes, it is. The little one hadn't managed to suckle yet though, which worried me a bit. But the following day it was all go as far as we could tell. They were in the distance then and even my 40x zoom didn't reach.

So special... and yet we humans of a sensitive nature still worry for what is the most natural thing in the world...x

BTW the first image is wonderful, the composition, shading, the little foal gathering itself and mum contentedly munching much needed nourishment...

I agree with foxysue ... the first shot, the tree, the horse and her foal, magnificent. I love watching nature but will never have wild horses in my reach ... you are so lucky. Beautiful series :)
