Thundering hoofs, flowing manes. A primeval look! Yet we are not in the savannas of East Africa, but in the middle of Germany. The “Muensterland” is home of the last free-living herd of wild horses in Europe. Horses are already present on earth for 60 million years, yet today we know them primarily as riding animals. Here in the heart of Europe, however, they still live freely and unbound, like millenniums ago.
