Lot of Horseplay going on....They are up to no good...The pictures good though..R.

Looks like the old watering hole is drying up! Not a good thing in many cases!

Maybe there was a meeting and it just ended? Enjoyed this. Lots of characters here.

They have been called back to the barn, but these are wild ponies, yes? Can't be they are making room for the birds or else they don't like birds in their drinking water. A most interesting question and shot. They are such pretty horses.

Fabulous of course for me and fav'd....looks like it could have been something he said, lol. Love it

A very good image Mr. C. maybe they are discussing the the low water level? Or they have had their fill, and heading for parts unknown to us. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Nice to see birds and animals getting along. The watering holes are drying up here in Missouri also, looking like a drought this year, great capture.

What a pretty and interesting picture. Great herd of horses.

Beautiful horses , I even see some foals in there. I'd say the meeting just ended on how to get rid of the birds in their water source. Nice shot.

It's round-up time!...

Quick,send for Tick!...(Hey, that rhymes eh!)

Some would say there's too much foreground...But I won't cos it adds to this wonderful scene!..

They came down to drink water but were disappointed to see the stream almost dry and are turning back? Great shot Cornelius with the colourful horses and the birds.

Nothing and everything, Cornelius. But, the bottom line, they enjoy. And that's the most important in life. Lovely shot, very rich, so many subjects there.

There's a lot going on like the family duck, so cute with the little ones, family horses who are having some fun because the rain stopped falling! So all by all a good looking picture!

:o)

I think you had better ask the grey horse.

It's a Family Reunion! Geese are sixth cousins five times removed from horses! Beautiful shot, Mr. C.

I think the story is that the waters were higher before these horses came to it, but after that lot had a long drink, this was all the water that was left - those poor geese had to walk rather than swim across the mud!! ha ha Alot to see in this shot - well done!

Handsome and healthy horses,lovely birds and nice colors too!
Wonderful presentation.

I think Ann is right, they do drink a lot of water :-)
It is a great capture very well done.

Hello Cornelius...This is a lovely colourful picture of the beautiful horses at the the edge of the water...It looks as though they have had a drink and they are heading off to do some grazing....Well done....All the very best to you Cornelius....Mick.

"You've had your drink, move on now, time to get some high ground where you can eat and I can see if anything is coming. OK, OK...chase the geese on the way out if you want to."
I've seen that beautiful grey stallion before. One of my favorite desktops shows him pushing 3 mares in front of him; one looks to be giving birth very soon. He's protective and insistent and the mares have their ears laid back! :) He definitely runs the roost...and will keep them all safe. Great pic and I envy you your access to this herd.
