Here are a few pictures of wild horses that we have taken, primarily while camping near  Limestone Mountain  in Alberta, Canada.

Other pictures were taken on day visits to Alberta, Canada's Ghost River Wilderness. 

Additionally, I have posted  slide shows to my YouTube channel. To learn more, click on the YouTube titles. 

 My blog features numerous posts about wild horses in Alberta.

"Alberta is home to the largest population of wild horses in Canada. These majestic creatures roam freely across the province's vast and varied terrains, offering a rare glimpse into a world where nature reigns supreme. If you’re looking to experience the raw beauty of wild horses in their natural habitat, Alberta is the place to be." - Read more

“Wild horses” or “feral horses”? The debate rages on in Alberta, Canada. The provincial government believes that the wild horses west of Sundre, Alberta are the descendants of domestic horses used in logging and guiding/outfitting operations in the early 1900’s. The Wild Horse Society of Alberta (WHOAS) believes that they are of Spanish descent. WHOAS is so sure of this that they have sent away DNA samples to the University of Texas, Equine Genetics Lab for testing.” – Wild Horses Of Alberta

“WHOAS estimates there’s approximately 900 wild horses across Alberta with the majority of the wild horse population hanging out in and around the Sundre / west-central Alberta region. Literally, you can just drive west of Sundre and you’ll find wild horses in fields and grazing along the highways all over the place!”- Sundre. 

“Our study involving the samples from Wild Horses, submitted by volunteer donors has revealed some extremely interesting results. Here’s what we do know. Our horses here in Alberta, are not of “Canadian Horse” decent, such as the ones studied by the same researchers in the Brittany Triangle, in B.C.. However, the most interesting connection is that just like the horses in the Chilcoltins, both studies show a connection to Russian breeds. The B.C. horses show markers indicating a connection to the Yakut, from Siberia, and our horses here in Alberta, are showing strong markers indicating a connection to the Altai, breed from Russia.”– Help Alberta Wildies 

“Horses evolved in North America around four million years ago but went extinct during the last ice age about 10,000 years ago, the framework noted. They were reintroduced to the landscape by European settlers in the 16th century”.- CTV News Calgary
