I will never forget me and my mom on a trip to South Dakota 2004 It was a beautiful day in November that year we were driving back from Mount Rushmore and we drove into badlands park and this pack of wild horses came up right next to the car kept licking it for a good 30 minutes was amazing to see. Was one of the most memorable experiences how these creatures just did this.
