Easter Island: horses along the

road

During our visit to Easter Island we saw lots of (semi) wild horses on the island.
Is seems if everybody on the island has at least one horse. We saw people do some shopping on horses, little children riding without a saddle. But most of the horses we saw around the moai and in the inland.

The horses were introduced to Easter Island in 1866 and till today they survive in increasing numbers.

When we were driving around on our rental scooter we met a herd of horses on and along the road. Be aware you can meet this animals everywhere on the island, on the road and after a corner. It is a must to drive carefully (not only because the horses) !!!
