I’ve kept pretty quiet about the matter of providing shelter to captive wild horse horses kept in short-term holding faculties. It’s not that I don’t care – quite the opposite in fact. There are so many eloquent people out there with betters ways of organizing their thoughts, and a larger audience than I could ever dream of having. It seemed like there really wasn’t much I could add to the subject.
Well that’s all over now. News broke over the quest to put up wind breaks at the holding facility in Rock Springs. Bad news. Now I have feelings, and darn it, those feelings will not fester in Facebook comments.
An older mare acts as a windbreak for a younger mare. At the time this photograph was taken, it was 23 F and wind speeds were at 42 mph.
