COUNSELOR, N.M. – Last month, a band of wild horses were captured at Mesa Verde National Park. They were roaming around the park, and searching for water.

“Some of these horses had learned to break into the ice machine at the park to get water, and they did find one of them in the bathroom at one time drinking water,” said Patricia Barlow-Irick, executive director of Mustang Camp.

But this park wasn’t the best spot for an animal that can weigh up to a 1,000 pounds,

“Mesa Verde has a special mission of protecting its archeological resources and so if you just imagine a piece of pottery under that horse’s foot you’ll kind of get the idea,” Barlow-Irick added.

19 mustangs were rounded up but how these mustangs were rounded up is playing a huge role in their relationship with humans.
