Love this card .. Trupti you send the best cards " this is a great card that shows all these wild horses in Alberta I guess you call them "mustangs."   The card notes :
While living in the wild at times be very harsh  having to survive in extremes of temperature and predators these animals live an extraordinary and free- spirited life. Horses are very social animals and here in the wild they are free to create bonds with each other that many other captive or "Coralled horses" never get or experience
 Thanks again Dear Trupti for this most wonderful card and all the stamps that you have also kindly added...love it !! Merci ! Thank you...
