Three SUV's caravan through rugged trails and terrain finding two wild mustang herds at the BLM, Cedar Mountain Wild Mustangs.
Joining the wild mustang herd, Greig Huggins and Sharon Baxter taking beautiful photos during YEEHAAA's field trip to Skull Valley, Utah.
Rest of the herd, Esther Manning, Holly Clark, Shirley and Rick Rubow, Miranda Jacob and Caron Hunter. We will always remember and personally cherish this wonderful lifetime memory being part of a wild mustang herd!

Rick and Shirley Rubow have been our tour guide for the past two years seeing these graceful majestic wild mustangs. Without their expertise we could of been driving for hours without finding a herd.

Cedar Mountain Wild Horses
I had the privilege of visiting the Cedar Mountain herd of wild horses in Skull Valley. The Cedar Mountain herd has been rounded up much more regularly than the Onaqui Herd and they are VERY SPOOKY when it comes to interacting with humans. We found them at one of their watering holes. The BLM has water trucked into this location, there are little if any natural springs in the area (unlike the Onaqui Herd Management Area). We slowly came around a bend in the road and spotted the herd watering about 1/4 mile from our location. Even at that distance we could see that they had spotted us and were “on edge”. The herd is apparently even more spooked by vehicles so we got out and started to walk slowly to get closer. We were watched constantly by the herd. We would stop and photograph them for several minutes hoping that they would become a little more accustomed to our presence. We didn’t want to get too close too soon if all of the horses had not watered...
