Description
This was taken in the rolling hill of Sussex County, New Jersey. These horses are enjoying grazing in their pasture on an October evening.
It is thought that horses were probably domesticated about 4000 years ago. Most horses are tamed but feral horses still roam in many countries. The breed is categorized into three groups: Hotbloods, coldbloods, and warmbloods. Horses are used for racing, working, and recreation.
Horses will generally live 25 to 30 years while it takes about four years to outgrow the colt stage. They are a herd animal with a clearcut hierarchy established in the group. I find them very photogenic and think they are a magnificent animal.

Such a beautiful scenery! Those clouds in the sky add a wonderful effect. And the horses sure do give a feeling of peace as they graze in the grass. L/F

This is unusually gorgeous! A= in color, composition, atmosphere, line, depth, point of view and any other quality that I forgot to mention. Love this!
