Born Free

Species: Wild Mustang | Location: McCullough Peaks BLM, Wyoming, United States

In a high plains pocket of rolling hills sparsely covered with saltbush and sagebrush, yet carved by drainages, cliffs, and canyons, it's possible to watch roaming herds of wild mustangs. They are located in a protected area known as the McCullough Peaks Wild Horse Management Area, located east of Yellowstone National Park and about 22 miles outside of Cody, Wyoming. They are born free and roam wild, majestic symbols of our wide open spaces in the west.
