Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Little Book Cliffs wild horse advocate Billie Hutchings is doing her part to keep mustangs in the public eye. Her blog – http://wildhorsefever.spaces.live.com/ – follows her adventures with the LBC wild horses near Grand Junction, Colo., and she has been one of my inspirations for creating this blog. 

Billie directed me recently to an article about wild horses on http://www.coloradomagazineonline.com/. There are many photos by Colorado photographer Carol Walker (http://www.livingimagescjw.com/), but Billie also was interviewed and has a picture of their adorable Appaloosa foal Traveler in the article.

Also, Billie has created a Blurb book about the Little Book Cliffs wild horses! This link – http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/invited/412405/449fb7ad2d7bf07640384cb6eff6d7b5 – will take you to information about Little Book Cliffs Mustangs. You may purchse the book, and you can also click on the cover photo for a preview. The book provides a great look at the horses and their environment. Billie and other folks with Friends of the Mustangs keep track of the horses there and even assist the BLM with gathers. When you see the kind of geography their horses inhabit, you’ll be amazed at where they live and how the advocates manage to find them!

While I’m mentioning updates, be sure to visit Matt Dillon’s updated blog: http://pryorwild.wordpress.com/. Matt was my other huge inspiration. In his most recent post – which has been a long time coming! – Matt reveals that a new Web site for the Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center, which is in Lovell, Wyo., is very soon to be unveiled. I think I’m not alone in saying I can’t wait to see more news about the Pryor Mountain mustangs!
