Perhaps the most brutal fight I have witnessed in the past three years, these two stallions really beat each other up over a 10 minute period. Both came away with many bleeding wounds from severe bites. The roan stallion had a very deep gash into the exposed leg bone, and the red stallion suffered many bites along the neck and face. Some of the images were so bloody, I have decided not to show them.

These wild mustangs hold nothing back when they are evenly matched and the challenger thinks he has a chance to rout the dominate male. Neither of the warring males backed away from the other; it will be interesting to see if the roan challenger was able to steal any females away from the red stallion, I look forward to my next visit to the desert.
