They were abandoned here in the Namibian desert by man after their services were no longer required for military use. Simply they were left in a hostile environment by hostile people who had no interest in their survival. While mindful of the fact that we have included these wild horses in past issues, the work of those trying to ensure their survival is, like most conservation projects, filled w i t h t r i a l s a n d disappointments. Some of these are man made while others are the result of natural events. The plight of these horses is a mixture of both. Against the odds, they did survive, roaming the desert in search of food and water, they have adapted to the harsh conditions that prevail in this hostile part of the world.

Their numbers remain small, only a few hundred in the herd, and how they have survived is still something of a mystery. Now they are being helped, not because they are incapable, but because of the drought that holds their world in its grip. Man provides salt licks which, although cheap, can sustain the herd when there is no food around for them. The resilience of the horses is a treat to see . In spite of their arid landscape, they are, or at least appear, happy to be free, enjoying dust baths seems to be the favourite past time.
