Water - The Source of Life

There are several water holes on Shackleford, but when the horses are not near one, they know to go to the shore or a swale and dig wells with their hooves. As water seeps into the hole ... they drink. Near the sound, the water is a little more brackish than we would care for but the horses think it is just fine.

Here, a mare scolds a youngster who is hanging around to get some of her water. She soon sends him packing ... to start digging his own hole. 7/97

Hit the road, Jack!!
