Found! The Missouri Wild Horses!

She found them! Hawkeye Sarah was able to track down one of the herds of wild horses in Missouri while she was in the state attending a conference this past week!

This is the Shawnee Creek herd, one of several that are roaming in the state.

The text she sent with this video had no other details but I am sure I will hear more when she gets home and has a chance to catch her breath and then sit down and process the photos she took.

Sarah's hobby is wildlife photography and these are not her first wild horses. A few years ago she photographed the Pryor Mountain wild horses and framed three of those photos as a Christmas gift for me.

They hang in my office now.

She also bought me the identification book

that is compiled by supporters of the Pryor Mountain herd. It was fun learning whose faces were hanging on my walls!

But Sarah is not the only family member who likes to find and see wild horses. 

Mountain Mama Jessica enjoys watching and advocating for the Onaqui herd in Utah. So much so that, as a surprise, I gifted her with Breyer's model, Jewel, last Christmas.

She was puzzled by the gift, but when I explained it was my way of acknowledging how proud of her I was in her advocacy for the Onaqui herd and social justice, she got teary.

Hopefully Sarah will send me some more photos of the Missouri wild horses soon. When she does, I'll share them here.

Stay 'tooned!
