Its ironic that people will spend anywhere from $300-$20,000 on horses, depending on discipline and blood lines yet there are thousands of wild horses roaming in Wyoming and Colorado territory. It reminds me of the Garth Brooks song perfectly titled "Wild Horses." Although that song is about a cowboy who cant stop rodeoing and makes a promise to his wife he would quit but wild horses keeps dragging him away, its the theme song for this story. If only I could catch one and break it. But wild horses are never fully broke. They always have a streak of freedom. But now the Land Management Staff wants to remove the horses because they are becoming a problem around small western towns. I strongly disagree with this proposal. The horses belong there, that's their territory not ours. Its no different when the settlers took over the Indian Territory in the 1800's. It belonged to them but yet we were the ones inconvenienced when they lived upon on it. However it is a comfort to know that the west is still wild and owner less horses roam the plains and mountains just like they did a hundred years ago.
