A testament to Mustang surefootedness and dexterity, from a photographer who follows a herd in North Dakota.
"The craziest thing I seen on Sunday, and probably ever was this...
Stallion Thunder Cloud was walking along with the rest of the horses. The spot on the butte where it comes to a "V" seemed like it was crumbling as the horses passed. Well...Thunder didn't want to take his chances on the crumbling part of the butte. He did this instead...
These photos show the surefootedness these horses have, along with agility and gracefulness. More than once I thought I was going to watch him fall! Keep in mind, Thunder Cloud turns 17 this year! And...No...no one else took the path he did!
He was last in line from his band, the mares you see belong to the next band that was walking along. He is the only one who did this, the other horses stayed on the path they are on and continued on.
All photos are taken at Theodore Roosevelt National Park in Medora, ND."
