  • Wild horses and burros are part of Nevada's old west heritage. These beautiful animals were filmed on BLM land and are truly free and wild.

    I’m a truck driver from Weirton West Virginia. I make deliveries to the Tesla gigafactory right outside sparks Nevada. I seen the wild horses near there. What majestic and beautiful creatures. I love it

      Yes indeed, they are beautiful creatures. I assume you take 80 through Utah and Nevada, and you probably gas up in Wendover, NV. 👍😎

      @@mixup98 Wells! But yes I pass right through Wendover. another thing is that view at sunrise right as soon as you top the peak of that mountain heading east right before Wendover. It’s breathtaking… You have a very beautiful state!

    When I lived in Nevada a few years ago, my, then, roommate and myself visited the national park, 'Red Rock'. It was here that I witnessed my first herd of wild mustangs. In a word: breath-taking... ABSOLUTELY one of the most hair-raising experience of my life. Take it from me ---as I'm sure many here will attest -- it's a stunning sight. The experience was made more memorable simply, at the moment, we weren't even thinking about horses... and that's when the herd spontaneously appeared as if from nowhere. Love the video, and what individuals like this gentleman do to bring much needed attention to, surely, an American treasure. Thanks... :)

      I had a similar experience while traveling on white horse pass in Nevada. Herd of wild horses came roaring by and ran up a game trail. I pulled over the car and whistled at them while they were on the ridge with the salt flats in the back drop vista. They stopped and stared at me for a little...then the lead horse made a call and just like that they were gone. It was one of thee most incredible things I’ve ever witnessed. Something about that made my spirit want to run free and graceful like those horses. Simply Majestic!

  • @craigdowner3096
    @craigdowner3096 9 років тому +6

    Greatly enjoyed this audio-video. It's one of the nicest I've seen. The wild horses are returned natives to North America and as post-gastric digesters they actually complement all the preponderance of ruminant grazers such as pronghorn, elk, deer, bison, etc. They more greatly build soils and seed plants than ruminants and so help the latter. See my book The Wild Horse Conspiracy, available on amazon and now in updated version and with a lot of pictures.

    Excellent video. Those are some very beautiful horses. I have lived in NV for over 25 years and have not seen one wild horse yet. I think I'm in the wrong part. Even while traveling through the state I've only seen mule deer, burros, rabbits, coyotes and a golden eagle.
    We were planning on heading up to Cave Lake next week but it appears to be hot up that way. I want to get away from Vegas for a few days!

    Didn't see any elk, but did see a few deer by the lake just as the sun was setting. My son caught a bunch of rainbow trout.
    I watched your other video on the Belmont mill and it looked awesome so we decided to take a day trip yesterday. Well I made a huge mistake and we ended up in the town of Belmont but the mill wasn't there. I found out that there is Belmont and also the Belmont mill which is not the same. It was a fun trip anyways and saw lots of wild burros. Another day...

    Just got back from your area. We went to Wheeler Peak at Great Basin National Park, Lehman Caves and our favorite spot, Cave Lake. We hit one heck of a thunder storm while driving home yesterday, even saw as the lightning struck a small brush fire which quickly smoldered out in the heavy rain. You are lucky to live where you do. As soon as I saw Vegas it made me sad to be home. We saw quite a few horses but don't know if they were wild or not? We caught a bunch of Rainbows at Cave Lake.

    Sorry for the late reply....been out of town. To harm or kill one of these protected horses is a felony. The feds will occassionally round up some of these horses and sell them to the public. You can actually buy one of these beautiful animals after a background check is conducted and a fee paid.
