Floating down the Current River, as I was coming around a bend, a herd of the wild horses was drinking at the river! It's been a couple years since I've seen them and even then it was just one lone horse.

These horses are descendants of horses that were released during the Great Depression in the 1930s. The combination of the depression and drought left the farmers with no way to feed them, so they turned them loose and their descendants now freely roam the scenic Current and Jacks Fork Rivers.

They are a unique feature of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. At one time in 1990, the park superintendent wanted to remove the horses saying they were non-native. Locals fought hard to preserve them and they finally received federal protection in 1996.

Having been free and roaming the riverways since the 30s, it makes perfect sense they are allowed to remain a part of the Ozarks' history and wilderness. Their presence predates the park by more than 30 years. "Wild & Free" was the phrase and desire of those who saved this part of the Ozarks history and culture.

As part of that protection, the total of all herds is limited to 50 which keeps them healthy and also protects the riverways. To keep the herd at that number, an adoption program is in place for those which are removed.

There are 4 herds, Shawnee Creek, Broadfoot, Rocky Creek and Round Spring. This is the Round Spring herd which is mostly white due to its Appaloosa lineage.

This was such a cool moment to float down the river and come across the herd getting a needed drink during this heat wave!
