Assateague Wild Horses, Mare and Foal
This mare and foal are part of the famous wild herd on Assateague Island, a barrier island off the coasts of Maryland and Virginia. I photographed them standing together in a coastal meadow of white wildflowers, their chestnut coats and windswept manes completely at ease. This original photograph is available in a variety of formats, from wall art to gifts.
Warm chestnut tones fill the frame against soft greens and white wildflower clusters. The foal's shaggy young coat presses close to the mare's side, catching the natural light in a quiet moment of wild herd life.

I had been searching for the Assateague wild horses for quite a while when I suddenly found this mare and foal standing together in a coastal field. After all that looking, there they were, quiet, calm, and surrounded by soft summer wildflowers like they had stepped straight out of the island landscape.

Assateague Wild Horses Photography Note Card
The perfect note card for the horse lover, coastal traveler, or wildlife fan in your life — an original photograph of a wild mare and her foal among the meadows of Assateague Island.
My original photograph captures a chestnut mare and her foal standing close together in a meadow on Assateague Island, the foal tucked beside its mother in soft grasses and white coastal wildflowers. This is the kind of quiet wild horse moment you wait for, not one nature poses for, gentle, protective, and entirely on the horses' own terms.
Each note card is printed to order on heavyweight Red River Linen cardstock, with the photograph filling the front and the inside left open for whatever you want to write. Archival inks hold the warm chestnut tones against the soft meadow greens, and every order ships with a matching envelope and protective sleeve. Hand-finished in our New Hampshire studio, this is a thoughtful greeting card to send for a birthday, a thank you, or simply to anyone who would rather have a real wild horse moment than another glitter-covered card from a grocery store.
