For The Love of a Horse - Valerie Duran Photography
@valerietibbs.bsky.social
For The Love of a Horse is where I share my wild horse photography from the open lands of New Mexico. Each stallion, mare, and foal carries a story of freedom, strength, and family. Their untamed beauty and spirit deserve to be seen and remembered.
Gravyn and Sterling - 2 wild mustang bachelor stallions.

Meet the New Family Band
Before you ever learn a wild horse band’s story, you usually notice one thing first.
The stallion.
This is copper.
Over the next few days, I’ll introduce each of his mares so you can meet the whole family that stands beside him.

The day before Thanksgiving I went out looking for a little quiet, and I came across this mare and her foal traveling with a small family band. The stallion was doing exactly what he was meant to do, guiding them away from me and the many others that were stopping along that dirt road.

The battles of the wild leave their marks.
When I first met him 9 months ago, he was a striking stallion, strong, confident, and almost flawless. His coat was smooth, untouched by scars, and he carried himself with quiet assurance. There was something calm yet commanding about him.

On the 4th of July, I found freedom in the wild. A stallion led his band of six mares and two foals across the rain-cooled hills of New Mexico. No fences. No noise. Just wild beauty in plain sight. Moments like this are why I photograph them.

before you say anything — I see it. He’s letting it all hang out. Let’s just say he wasn’t feeling camera shy that day. My apologies for the extra authenticity, but hey, this is nature, unfiltered and unscripted.
