Courtship

free range horse photography of courtship between a mare and stallion

A receptive mare is courted by the herd stallion.

Special attention is given to a responsive mare. Once her willingness is confirmed, actions move rapidly from there.

The young colt by the mare’s side is confused by all this activity and sticks tightly to his mother.
