#wildponies

The Grayson Highlands State Park in Virginia is home to over 150 ponies that naturally maintain the grassy balds. If you visit, please keep in mind to leave only footprints, take only photos, and try to remember that the ponies are wild so refrain from feeding/petting them. Hard to resist those sweet faces, but it is better for them to receive as little human interaction as possible.
