Feral Horses in the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park

From Midwest National Parks:

Did you know wild (Feral) horses can be seen in the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park? You might even catch a glimpse of a young foal. Foals are horses up to one year old. After a year, they're known as yearlings. Young horses will stay with their natal herd until they are two or three years old.
