Teddy’s Horses

Theodore Roosevelt National Park is one of the few national parks where visitors can observe free-roaming horses. Their presence represents Theodore Roosevelt’s experiences here during the open-range ranching era. About 200 wild horses roam free in the western North Dakota national park.

I love National Parks. My life goal is to visit and explore every National Park in the US. Visiting a park is an experience you will love and hopefully never forget. You are able to learn history, admire beautiful landscapes, and in some parks observe and interact with wildlife.

Touring through Theodore Roosevelt National Park you are able to experience all of the above. One of my favorite moments was sitting and observing a herd of wild horses. For me it was like watching my family at a family reunion. Some horses were playing, some looked bored, some were being mean to one another… But then I got to see this special interaction between these two horses. The white was standing alone. Tall and proud. Then the other horse walked up and just rested it’s head on its friend. The white horse turned and gave a glance and then returned to its proud stance. The two horses sat there together like the picture I captured showed for a long time. Just two best friends hanging out.
