I was going to debate whether these were ponies or horses. I guess it's sort of like arguing over whether a lion can correctly be called a cat or not. It seems that even the equine experts don't agree. The people most closely associated with these horses often refer to them as ponies, which differ from standard horses in a number of ways, predominantly being smaller in stature. From what I read, if a foal of one of these ponies is taken out of the harsh island habitat and put out to a normal horse pasture and feeds on a normal horse diet, they grow to the full stature of a horse.
I was happy I went and it was a fun trip. Of course no wild horse running through the surf, especially not on a cold, blustery winter day. Most of these look better if you double-click on the normal sized image to enlarge it further. http://photo.net/photodb/presentation?presentation_id=492278 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
