Mrens horse. Backlit portrait. (equus caballus)

Mrens horse. After the habitat shot,now the portrait. Capcir,french Pyrnes,july 2008.

The mrens horses live in small herds,and absolutely free during the summer months,in the mountains of Capcir.
Their appearance is very close to those of the wild horses painted on the walls of the Niaux cave (Arige,french pyrnes) by our cro-magnon ancestors 13000 years ago,during the last ice age. I chose here a backlit portrait that adds to the likeness.
