A Wild Konik mare with her newly born foal as it tries to stand up at Wicken Fen in Cambridgeshire
Konik horses, Wicken Fen, Cambridgeshire, UK - 26 Apr 2018
Remarkable photos show a rare Konik foal being protected as it is born in the English countryside - as wild Stallions fight just metres away. The pictures show a pregnant mare surrounded by other horses as she goes into labour, whilst a group of males spar nearby. Moments later the foal is born on the wetlands of Wicken Fen in Cambridgeshire as the Stallions continue their dramatic fight, in scenes which looked more like something you would see on the plains of America. The tiny newborn horse was seen lying on the grass as it took its first breaths and the mum tenderly nuzzled it. After about 25 minutes the cute little pony gradually managed to stand on its feet and take its first few steps. It remained close to its mum as the male Koniks continued to rear up and fight nearby. Herds of wild horses vanished from Britain 4,000 years ago so these amazing scenes are now rarely seen.
