Wild horses.

So, it goes without saying that the pandemic has fundamentally changed our lives - often in horrible ways, sometimes in beautiful ways, and for a few, in transcendent and transformative ways.

Heather Hellyer and her husband were on a long RV trip when the pandemic hit and national parks shut down. Looking for something to do, Heather found a nearby herd of wild horses, and a deep, consuming passion was born.

Heather chatted with me from her RV in Cody, Wyoming and we talk wild horses’ and burros’ importance in the ecosystem; Thoreau; the decimation of herd management areas; why you might want to rethink eating that hamburger; which organizations are doing the best work in saving wild horses and burros; where her heart is most at peace; and so much more.

So find out why Heather loves wild horses - and why you might learn to love them, too.

Wild horses graze on the black sand beach near the Vestrahorn mountain in the Stokksnes region of Iceland. Your Shot photographer Donald Yip writes, “I arrived around 11pm, giving myself ample time before sunset. Unfortunately, all the clouds had started to disappear, but I proceeded to set up anyway. In the distance, I saw these horses wandering around. I immediately picked up my gear, ran over, and snapped this image!” Photograph by Donald Yip
