Stallion

His body is torn and his mane is tangled, his ears alert, yet not laid back. His eyes hidden yet daring. This horse has seen many battles to earn his place at the head of the herd. To be able to witness the wild horse in his habitat, running freely, not confined to boxes and […]

The Loner

Key Deer

All the spots on the fawn have nearly disappeared coinciding with the shredding of the velvet and the approaching mating season where the cycle begins all over again.
