Horses, together, apart, at the Colorado state line in northern New Mexico. This has nothing to do with the social distancing that we’ve become so abruptly used to. This old pony with the dreadlocks stank to high heaven. His fellow companions in the pasture seemed to be aware of it too. Space is a beautiful thing. Thanks for looking. G

Looks old.. maybe he’s ill, or just needs a bath! It’s a great photo ~
A bath would be a start! Thanks Elaine. G
Great composition. Does look a little forlorn but then who knows his history. Reminds me of some of those homeless in Leeds. I am grateful to have a home to look out on the world from.
Sad that there are so many homeless. This guy wasn’t homeless, he had an enclosure with a few other horses. He was just a little grungy! Thanks Alison. G
Hmmm wonder what is up with him? I am a horse lover.
He’s ok and still around. A lot of the horses get those burrs in their manes and tails. Thanks Fran. G
Sad
Not so much. He was very happy really. Thanks Jamie. G
I think he’s annoyed that you’re taking his photo without offering any alfalfa pellets or oats. By the way if all you had to eat was grease weed and rabbit bush you’d smell too.
Ha ha! He’s actually a very sweet horse and we usually feed the horses fresh grass from along the hedgerows. He probably got an apple the first time we saw him a year or so earlier. Thanks Mark. G
Equine dreadlocks. I have to say the gray is head and shoulders above the other one. 🙂
Sorry, I’ve been stuck inside too long. Really nice image.
Rasta horse! One of us stated singing some Bob Marley song or other! He could use some head and shoulders. Thanks Ron. G
Social distancing.
We’re all doing it. Thanks Sandy. G
I’ve recently come into a love of horses, and this photo speaks volumes. That old fella looks like he could tell me some things. Great photo, Geraint

Thanks so much, Jim. He’s still out there, or was a year ago. I’ll be out there again soon and will check in with him. Grateful to have you checking in. Best regards. G
