 Seeing the wild mustangs, the iconic symbol of the West, roaming the Sierra Nevada with Sonny Boy Tours in Reno, Nevada,was a life-changing experience!

Finally seeing these amazing creatures running wild in their natural element was almost surreal, their beauty and spirit is one that we will long remember. |
