Little horses

 On my trip through the heathland reserve I found this herd of Koniks, a polish breed of small and hardy horses which are - more or less - living in the wild here. According to wikipedia "Konik" means "small horse" or "Pony" in polish.

    1. oh such sweet horse maidens ...

      Yep, without being a horse expert, it was clear to see, that these Koniks seem to live in three groups, maybe families (?), with much closer relations than I've seen in random horse groups kept in stables.

      The good thing was they noticed, but then ignored me,- unlike other horses which come closer for food or just out of curiosity.
