Description
Ranch Horse by Lynn Sprowl.
Went to a controlled fire in the flint hills of Kansas. I was amazed at the entire event, but watching these horses work was amazing. This horse was not skittish nor did he display any fear and I did not see him shy away from anything. Just a good boy...
The tallgrass prairie biome depends on prairie fires, a form of wildfire, for its survival and renewal. Tree seedlings and intrusive alien species without fire tolerance are eliminated by periodic fires. Such fires may either be set by humans (for example, Native Americans used fires to drive bison and improve hunting, travel, and visibility) or started naturally by lightning. Researchers' attempts to re-establish small sections of tallgrass prairie in arboretum fashion were unsuccessful until they began to use controlled burns
