The horse in its wild state, yesterday... and today ?
It has been 10,000 years since the wild horse disappeared from our western lands. When the ice age gradually turned to a climate of steppes and forests, these areas no longer suited this large herbivore.
Only certain wide spaces across the Atlantic and in Central Asia, mainly because of their expansive geography, still see significant numbers of this noble animal in its wild state.
Can we reintroduce the horse in its wild state at the heart of the natural equilibrium of the fauna as it existed before, where these attempts are being made today?
Is it not original, necessary or even indispensable to do this?
Would it not mark the existence, finally renewed, of an authentic and precious lesson?
