RE: This morning i discovered 30+ Wild horses in the meadows! SO beautiful, wow!
Yes that makes a difference! Were not even supposed to stray off the paths here or intefere with thenwild horses here.. but i do and enjoy feeding them carrots! Im sure these horses have never seen humam aggression toward them.. dutch and usa are quite different! Hunting animals here is a rare hobby!
That's how the horses on Chincoteague Island in Virginia are treated. There are mostly left alone, so have no fear of humans, and it is possible to interact with them.
I wish we treated ALL our wild horses that way. Over 80% of those polled want the round ups to stop, and for the horses to be left alone, but the BLM isn't about to let go of a money maker, particularly one that fills its coffers on a regular basis. Sigh.
Of course, I've known people who are good with horses who have been able to interact with the western mustangs, but they are much more skittish, and a great deal more patience is required.
