Wild Horses (Equus ferus caballus), mare with young colt
The horse (Equus ferus caballus) is one of two extant subspecies of Equus ferus. It is an odd toed ungulate mammal belonging to the taxonomic family Equidae. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi toed creature, Eohippus, into the large, single toed animal of today. Humans began to domesticate horses around 4000 BC, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC. Horses in the subspecies caballus are domesticated, although some domesticated populations live in the wild as feral horses

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Wild Horses" captures the essence of freedom and untamed beauty. The image showcases a mare with her young colt, symbolizing the strong bond between mother and offspring in the equine world. The horse, scientifically known as Equus ferus caballus, belongs to the taxonomic family Equidae. It has undergone an incredible evolutionary journey over millions of years, transforming from a small multi-toed creature called Eohippus into the majestic single-toed animal we know today. Humans began domesticating horses around 4000 BC, leading to their widespread presence by 3000 BC. However, some populations still live in the wild as feral horses despite their subspecies designation of caballus being domesticated. In this photograph captured by Danita Delimont for Fine Art Storehouse, no people are present. Instead, our focus is drawn to these magnificent creatures against a backdrop of nature's splendor. The horizontal composition allows us to appreciate every detail while emphasizing the vastness of their natural habitat. As we gaze upon this image bathed in daylight, we can't help but feel a sense of awe and admiration for these wild horses. They serve as a reminder that even in our modern world where humans have tamed so much of nature's wonders, there are still pockets where untamed beauty thrives.
