"This air thick with light is an enveloping spell, a trance into which the whole place has now fallen, a viscous state of mind shared by you and the spruces and the bee in this honeyed moment."

It is summer now at the Ravenseyrie Sorraia Mustang Preserve on Manitoulin Island, Lake Huron, Northern Ontario. How transformed the landscape is! Let's keep our words to a minimum and wander around a bit via the medium of digital photos...
Biting insects, send the horses to spaces that are breezy or shady, depending:
 |
| The open expanse of the Ravenseyrie beach on Lake Huron's North Channel |
 |
| Standing as a group maximizes swishing tails and tossing manes to keep flies at bay |
It is worth noting that unlike humans, horses do not wage war against biting insects...they move in defensive ways, they roll in mud, they catch a breeze, etc., these activities provide relief without destroying ecosystems...unlike the pesticides humans have created. Horses live cooperatively with all that is. We at Ravenseryie strive to do likewise.

Young stallions at play:

| Legado and Destimedo (who lost his left eye in 2012) |
 |
| Having just one eye doesn't keep Destemido from going for the jugular in this game with Legado! |
