Protective

Spotted some horses on our way to Grand Canyon yesterday, just a few miles away from town of Cameron, on State Road 64, part of Navajo Reservation.

The male was very protective, and made sure to get in between the mare and I, and I made sure I don't get any closer, :).
The landscape here is very harsh, as you can see. Not much moisture in this area. I was tempted to pull up some grass on this side of the fence to feed him, but it's probably not a good idea.
