Artist's Description
An image that was captured while spending four days among the Onaqui Mountain herd of wild mustangs in the Rush Valley near Dugway, Utah. These beautiful animals are the descendants of Pony Express horses who were turned loose after the Pony Express company lost its contract with the U.S Postal Service. This herd of 200 or so horses roams on 43,000 acres of federal land unfortunately in competition with sheep and cattle whose owners bribe the bosses of the government Bureau of Land Management (whose mandate is to look after the land for the horses) to keep the horses low in number. Horses have in the recent past been rounded up by helicopter, breaking up families and the natural hierarchy of the herd. The mustangs are then often sold off to Mexico to end up as dog food. While we were there one afternoon volunteers arrived to shoot contraceptive darts into the mares in order to keep numbers low and prevent the BLM from its cruel dastardly deeds.
About Chris Lord
Contemporary Photographic Art and Travel Photography. I'm the Head Pixie and Pixel Pusher at Pixielated Pixels, British born and bred but New York City-based. I first picked up a camera around 60 years ago. After all these years I am finally happy, creating the images I always dreamed of. Shooting film and printing in the darkroom never gave me as much pleasure as powerful computers and Adobe's wonderful software does today. I began working with computers in the mid-1980s, and now I have become confident and competent with the tools at hand and feel that the world has finally caught up with my eclectic artistic vision. Intense and powerful colors and a somewhat surreal take on reality are the way my mind works and I enjoy producing images...

Beautiful shot, and thank you for the history!
Chris Lord replied:
There is a lot more about the damned BLM on the web if you Google them. There were once around five hundred horses on the range there. I once attended a protest against them in New York City. At one point a military helicopter flew over from a nearby airbase and the horses heard it before we did and stampeded away. We had to trudge back to the vehicles and go find them again. They were obviously terrified of helicopters and with good reason. Thanks Meg.
