Wild Horses of Placitas, 2012. They are the source of some controversy. One argument is that they eat the wild grass faster than it can renew itself, especially during drought, which may lead to erosion problems. Traffic safety is also of concern, due to the free-roaming horses crossing rural roads and a state highway (NM 165). Photo courtesy of John Fowler, Placitas.
