The unusual length of this wild horse's manes moves me to bore you for a while telling you a story..

Liliana Zabalua is a well known Argentine horse painter.. she is writing a book about her favorite subject and asked me to illustrate it with my photography. With her, we went to one of the few places with wild horses...
It was a huge area, a marshland, with some small lagoons... having forgotten our boots, we needed to be careful as the ground was full of a kind of snake called yarara,
poison ones, that even not attacking, they would react biting us if we would step on them.
We jumped the fence and saw the horses .. they were watching us in a kind of expectation.
Following Liliana advise, we tried to came near them veeery slowly, not looking at their eyes.. she explained me they see us as predators, as hunters as we have our eyes both in front of our face
so it was better not to directly watch at them ...and so we did.
Slowly we came closer and finally we could caress one.. the rest , who were alert, finally came, too....
they didn't like the sound of my camera shooting but they stayed for a while..until the one leading them began showing unquiet and so, they all moved..
We followed them , almost running (and splashing =) ) and i was able to do some of the images i show here in this gallery.
