Many domestic animals here in Botswana roam freely around.I remember some friends who had just arrived from Canada,excitedly telling us to stop the car and to find the farmer as they had just seen about 20 cows grazing next to the road.After having a laugh at their expense,they explained that back home they would never see any domestic animals outside a fenced enclosure.If a stray animal was seen they would phone the local farmer who would thank them and proceed to catch his errant animal.I would say 99% of cattle,goats,donkeys and horses are freely wandering around our local town ,Maun.
It was while having a picnic with friends along the river some months ago, that I came across this nameless horse who was contently eating the sweet green grass along the river.Since painting it ,I have decided to name the horse Sahara,which is better than being nameless.
