"Spirit of Sand
Wash" bronze by Curtis Zabel |
In the high
plains of northwest Colorado it is easy to step back to a simpler time. Far from
bustling metropolis one easily notices nature and its majesty. Situated on the
rolling, grassy plains, off the highway on the edge of town is an inviting pull
off. Parking your car and getting out you see kiosks with fantastic photographs
of horse in the wild, a history of the legacy and birth of the wild horse herds
in the United States.
As your gaze wanders westward you
see her, the lead mare, standing alert yet relaxed and free. Your eyes look to
the rolling countryside and observe the rest of the band, mothers and babies,
the "teenagers" of the bunch, and finally the stallion. Proud, majestic, he
watches over the group, always on the lookout for other males and predators
wanting to take away one of "his" mares. Before the day is over he may have to
fight off a younger male trying to prove he is ready for his own herd.
Your imagination kicks in. You want more. The kiosks include maps and directions to the herds nearby. The plan is to pack a picnic lunch, stock up on film, and head out to find the free roaming horses of the Wild West. The pictures, the experience, the memories will stay with you forever.
This is the Wild Horse Monument Interpretive Center fully realized.
