Wild horses treat commuters

3002

Dozens of wild horses were seen from State Route 347 on the Gila River Indian Reservation just north of the city limits around 6 p.m. today.

Traffic slowed as commuters enjoyed the view, some stopping for pictures – before a DPS officer’s arrival to discourage such activity.

“It was the biggest herd of horses I’ve ever seen,” Tony Debevec said. “There must’ve been at least 70 of them.”
