Ep #45: Visiting Wild Horses in Winter

If you’ve ever dreamed of venturing into the snowy wilderness to find wild horses, this episode is for you. Experience the unique blend of thrill and tranquility that comes with braving the cold to encounter these majestic creatures—a journey unlike any other.

In 2006, I set out solo into the snowy expanse of Adobe Town, Wyoming, a place as familiar to me as my own backyard. The red-tinted rims and buttes, delicately dusted with snow, painted a picture of serene beauty. Even a flat tire—just one of many on my wild horse adventures—couldn’t diminish the awe-inspiring solitude of that frozen landscape.

Join me as I explore how winter transforms the world of wild horses. From their calm resilience as they graze in sheltered areas to unforgettable moments like discovering a faded gray pinto mare with her black foal or watching the playful antics of Tall Socks, this episode captures the quiet grace and enduring strength of these incredible animals in their winter haven.
