The other day I obtained the newest copy of Cowboys and Indians Magazine at Half Price Books for the gritty and wild pictures of old west living contained within. This particular issue focuses on an annual photo contest, along with several photo essays about living and working on the other side of the Mississippi. I have a particular love for the homestead lifestyle, though I admit it may be a grass-is-greener situation. Either way, I wanted to share my absolute favorite photo with you. I love that these horses are so strong and beautiful and yet look rougher than a well-kept horse.
Prairie Warriors by Mike Jackson
Aren't they amazing? You can tell that they have such spirit.
All the wild horses
All the wild horses
Tethered with tears in their eyes
May no man's touch ever tame
May no man's reigns ever chain you
And may no man's weight ever defrayed your soul
And as for the clouds
Just let them roll
Roll away
Roll away
As for the clouds
Just let them roll
Roll away
Roll away ~Ray Lamontagne~
