Desert Horses of Aus

The Namib Desert Horse is a rare feral horse found in the Namib Desert of Namibia, Africa. It is probably the only feral herd of horses  in Africa, with a population between 90 and 150.The origin of the Namib Desert Horse is unclear, although it is most likely they are from German riding  and cavalry horses released from various farms and camps in the early 20th century, especially during World War I. The horses eventually congregated in the Garub Plains, near Aus, Namibia, the location of a man-made water source.

I was Lucky enough to see these incredible horses on my trip to Namibia and managed to get some footage as you can see below.
