Resourceful Grazing

After a few years of heat and drought, the horses have learned to be resourceful at finding grass to eat. In this series of images you see a young horse inserting her head deep into rugged sagebrush to find hidden grass. Protected within the perimeter of this large bush, several mouthfuls of grass have grown all summer undiscovered. The horses know to search for feed in such protected places and are rewarded for this strategy.
