Wildlife photographers captured the moments when over 100 wild Yılkı horses, which were released into the wild years ago within the borders of Ormana Neighborhood in İbradı district of Antalya, Türkiye, and have reached a population of 1,000, were seen together for the first time in the 90,000 acres of Eynif Plain.
The origin of the yılkı horses dates back to the Ottoman period, when they were used by the Ottoman cavalry units.
