Wild horses, Cumberland Island, Georgia.

---

Feral horses are believed to be descended from horses brought by the Spaniards in the 16th century, but it is more likely that these are descendants of those that arrived with later English settlers and with armies during the Civil War. The horses seem romantic, but they are usually in poor condition and have short lifespans.
