Wild Horses

Wild Horses: Wild horses live in social family groups (bands) usually led by a dominant mare, while a stallion helps protect the group and keep it together.

Communication: They use body language—ear position, head angle, and tail swishes—to signal intent and maintain herd order with minimal fighting.

Movement & Range: Bands can travel many miles a day between grazing areas and water sources, especially in arid environments.

Foals: Foals can stand and walk shortly after birth, which helps them keep up with the band and avoid predators.

Hooves: Their hooves grow continuously and naturally wear down as they travel over varied terrain, helping keep them functional without human trimming.
