This video pays tribute to the wild stallion, Tupi who died at the early age of ten from an injury he received. He was a beautiful, tri-colored stallion who stayed close to his natal band run by Talequah and his lieutenant stallion Thor. Many times he got in a scuffle with Thor, but they mostly got along with each other .Tupi would help out on occasion to keep the mares safe by running off a stray stallion. We will miss you at the peaks Tupi. RUN FREE FOREVER!!!!!!

In this video I pay tribute to the big, beautiful and wild chastnut mare named Twister of Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. I saw her for the first time in 2018. She sustained a bad leg injury and had to be put down. We will miss this big red mare.

This video highlights many of the beautifully colored pinto mares of McCullough Peaks in Wyoming. See the beauty of the mares as they travel in the big herd near Cody, Wyoming. This was filmed on my trip the end of May in 2022.

See the big, beautiful stormy skies become a backdrop to the wild horses of McCullough Peaks in Wyoming, USA. On this stormy day in early spring 2022 I decided to stay with the horses and keep the camera rolling as a storm moves in over the mountains, risking getting stranded overnight because of impassable, muddy terrain.

URGENT! Send your email to help save the McCullough Peaks wild horses by August 12, 2023! Tell them to stop the roundup! https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2022012/595/8003816/comment?fbclid=IwAR22NbO02yQjkxgdO8nSw8fFJUCwX4iYT_Ok5KmQS_V3YfyqlPCue0R8VNI This video is a tribute to the magnificent pinto stallion named Flaash of McCullough Peaks near Cody, Wyoming USA. He lived in the wild until the age of 17. He died in the harsh 2022-2023 winter that had unusual sub-zero weather and non-stop snow for an extended amount of time. We will miss you, Flaash! Run free forever!

Here you will see the beautiful wild horses of the Onaqui Mountains in Utah. It's summer on the range with the horses kicking up the dust.

Here's a short story about a little stallion with a big heart. He may be small, but he makes up for it in courage and determination. At 17 years old in the wild, Zipper has had many challenges but is still going strong living wild and free!

This was filmed in spring of 2018 on my first visit to Sand Wash Basin. It is a tribute to Brave who lost his life recently to the harsh 2023 winter. As an aged stallion, the winter was just too much for him. I'm glad he was able to live out his life being wild and free. The stallion Chief had recently lost his mares to Brave along with the dun stallion Schatzi and bay stallion with a wide blaze, Hawk. We will miss you Brave! Run free forever!

This is part 2 of my wild horse photography in Wyoming. See the beautiful, colorful horses in action. Photos can be purchased from my website at www.wildkingart.com.

Along with my videos I also take photos of the wild horses. Here you will see the photos I captured as you listen to all the sounds of a real life wild horse herd in Wyoming, USA. The sounds, the backdrops and beauty of the wild horse makes it a mesmerizing place to be. Wyoming is trying to eradicate all the wild horses to make more room for cattle and sheep grazing. They don't realize the treasure they have.

See the mighty wild stallion Thor as he helps lead stallion Talequah take care of their colorful band of mares in the hight desert of Wyoming. It's a constant job to keep the mares together and fight off any bachelor stallions who may get too close to thei band.

See the beautiful wild Mustangs that call McCullough Peaks near Cody, Wyoming their home. Watch as they enjoy an early morning with amazing backdrops. This video is from my first trip out west to see the wild horses in June of 2018.

This was filmed in May of 2018 on my first trip out west to find wild horses. See the beautiful stallions Teton and Flax with their mares. You will also see the chestnut mare, Twister with the older white stallion, Grey Ghost who passed away later that year. He lives on through his foals.

This video was filmed in June of 2018 on my first trip to Sand Wash Basin. The outcast stallion was Chief who lost his mares to the three stallions. The large bay is Brave, the dun is Schatzi and the bay with a blaze is Hawk. The pinto mare is Checkers with her colt, Coronado and chestnut band stallion, Eclipse.

Here you will see the beautiful wild horses of the Pryor Mountains in Wyoming. These tough and very rare grulla horses have been here for over 200 years and are DNA tested and proven to be of the Colonial Spanish American heritage. They roam free just outside of Lovell, Wyoming.

How do you find wild horses on a million acres of public land? Very carefully with help from other wild horse advocates who know where to find them. With the roundup last year of most of the wild horses, it is even more difficult to find them. The horses were rounded up to make room for more cattle grazing.

*attn: I made a mistake on the paint horse Fleck who is with Bobby. I said it was a stallion, but she is definitely a mare. I apologize for the mistake. This video shows my visit to the Sand Wash Basin in Colorado in June of 2022. With all the snow melt and rain this spring the basin has plenty of water for the horses and wildlife this spring. After the Sept. 2021 helicopter roundup of over 650 horses, it's not easy finding horses on the 155,000 acres. See a newborn foal just a few days old and watch the horses as they come into Copper Springs for a drink. The biting bugs were so bad and made it difficult to get the footage.

Here you will see the Onaqui wild mustang horses as they run free in the mountain range of Utah. Follow Karen as she spends five days with these magnificent wild horses and experiences their behavior first hand as they run to the waterhole. Watch the dynamics between the bachelor stallions, mares, foals and band stallions in the big herd of 200 wild horses. These larger herds are fast becoming a thing of the past in the western states to make room for more cattle and sheep grazing. We must be a voice for the wild horse if they are to remain free.

I was recently able to spend several weeks at the McCullough Peaks HMA in Wyoming to view the wild horses there. Such a beautiful herd with all the beautiful solids and paint colors! These wild horses live free the way they were meant to be. There was always some kind of acton going on between the band stallions and the bachelor stallions. Also, a new little colt was born to Siska's band! Watch how the band stallion defends his band and chases off the bachelor stallions. See how the wild horses live in the harsh climate and terrain of Wyoming and thrive.

This is the last leg of my six month journey as I made my way slowly back to Florida. My main destination was stopping again at McCullough Peaks near Cody, Wyoming to see the stallion Traveler and his band. I wanted to get more reference photos and videos for my new children's book called "Traveler, Wild Stallion of the West". Then on to S. Dakota, Iowa, Tennessee and Georgia with a short detour up to Cherokee, NC for fall colors!

The fourth leg of my journey. It was a long month of summer heat waiting on my new camper to be ready to pick up. I decided to travel on to Utah to see the Onaqui wild horses. A quick stop at the Rocky Mountain National Park with cooler weather, then on to Maybell, CO to camp and work on my video editing.

The third leg of my journey brought me to Salt Wells Creek HMA in southern Wyoming, then on to Sand Wash Basin in northern Colorado. Here I encountered rain, mud, heat, extreme wind and horrible biting insects. It amazes me how the wild horses can survive in such a harsh climate.

Here is the second leg of my journey to travel from Florida to Utah filming wild horses of the west. The hardest part is the distance from Florida to get to the wild horses and all the travel challenges on the road. My videos take a lot of time in the field with challenging weather and road conditions. This leg of my journey takes you from the wild horses in the Pryor mountains of Wyoming, to the McCullough Peaks and on to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons in Wyoming.

This is my Part 1 video on my journey from Florida to Utah chasing wild horses of the west. This video will show you the behind the scenes of how my "Wild Wonders of America" series was created on my six month journey from Florida to Utah.
