THE WILD HORSES OF MISSOURI
For the last 100 years, herds of wild horses have been roaming the ancient and rugged landscape in Shannon County, Missouri, near the small town of Eminence nestled in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways.
The Wild Horses of Missouri are close-knit herd animals. They treasure their families above all else.
The close bonds they form are crucial for their emotional and physical survival.
