These wild horses are not averse to pavement; in fact, they’re quite fine with it, if it takes them where they need to go. Over time they’ve even become remarkably tolerant of people with cameras standing in the road as they saunter past.

There’s one trademark Badlands shot I wanted to get on this trip, a line of horses at full gallop with a glorious fall Badlansd background. It was not to be. They did plenty of other things for my camera, including hugging the center line for a stretch, however.
