It's Not What You Think !!

It's Not What You Think !!
HFF !! ...

Wild ponies on Assateague Island, Maryland ... two mares, one trying to show dominance in the herd. If the herd "pecking order" were in jeopardy, these two mares would fight, until the herd stallion would crash in to break it up.

Also, the "ears" tell a story -- the pony on the left has ears back: aggressive, assertive, ready to fight/bite. The pony on the right has ears up, far more intent on something down the beach.

You are right; in this case, I was glad those posts-and boards were there.

... the fence is part of a lane that forces clumsy-footed tourists away from trampling down the fragile sand-dunes that protect these narrow barrier islands from being washed away by storms ... so the ponies have to use that lane too ...
Fences or not, it is up to humans to stay away from these wild animals.

... well, not fighting or mating, but not "playing" either ... the mares in a herd, by mounting dominantly or being subservient, establish the female hierarchy in the herd ...

Glad you explained this shot my friend. Looks can be deceptive! always good to see wild animals, especially horses and ponies in their natural element. Great fence too!
