They are the ones that have the pony round up each year and sell off the foals to raise money for the fire dept. I think the Misty book was based on that herd. The herd in the National park is very wild with no intentional human contact. Some how the herds don't mix.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992626996077874832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449493418758964410.post-49566150019344172442012-10-24T15:04:34.925-04:002012-10-24T15:04:34.925-04:00It's beautiful there.
