Two herds of wild horses make their home on Assateague Island, separated by a fence at the Maryland-Virginia line. These small but sturdy, shaggy horses have adapted to their environment over the years by eating dune and marsh grasses and drinking fresh water from ponds. While they appear tame, they are wild, and Park Rangers urge visitors not to feed or pet them.

Every animal on earth was ‘wild’ until we ‘domesticated’ them. That includes humans!!!!!!

Adam and Eve were created in the image of GOD. Mankind did not become “wild” until after the fall.

Wild horses are all over the west. I passed a herd of twenty of so on my commute this morning.

However if you try to get near them and also try to get near some antelope it is pretty darn clear which are truly wild which are just ‘feral’ domesticated animals.

All horses are wild until their broke at a mimimum to be haltered and led. They are a natural prey animal and those instincts cannot be bread out of them. Even the most dead-broke horse will retain those instincts.
