These are Alberta wild horses - Wildies. On this day this band of bachelor stallions was feeling their oats. They would stop and spar with each other - sometimes getting very rough - and then just as quickly as all of the drama would begin, it would be over and they would be merrily on their way. They remind me of a group of rough and tumble adolescent boys doing what boys do. I love these Northern horses. They are big and tough and beautiful. Proceeds from the sale of this painting will be donated to The Wild Horses of Alberta Society to be used for the protection of the wild horses who live there. Special thanks to June Fox for allowing me to use here photo as reference for the painting.
