Horses browse in the Verde River on the Fort McDowell Indian Reservation near Needle Rock. I was so surprised to see horses as I explored along the banks of the river. I could see their droppings but didn't put it together until they were in sight. I walked up to a small opening in the vegetation along the bank and there they were. It was pretty special watching them peacefully graze away on whatever was on the shallow bottom. They didn't seem to mind me but slowly moved away to the other side of the Verde.
