A small black pony stallion nuzzles the shoulder of a silver-bay pony mare who is grazing. They are standing at the top of an Appalachian mountain next to a wide dirt trail, as we see ridge tops in the far distant background. There are assorted trees scattered about the background.
The black stallion's head rests over top of the silver-bay mare's back as she stretches towards him.
THe black pony stallion and a different bay mare with a round belly stand face to face, each reaching forward to scratch at the other's shoulder and neck.
A few pocket-size free-roaming ponies of Grayson Highlands State Park enjoy some scratches time up on Massie Gap, right along the Appalachian Trail. #photography #wildhorses #wildhorsepc
