Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

I found this blog a little while ago about the wild horses of Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota and decided to add it to the blog roll as another resource for people who want to follow another herd of wild horses (and one managed by the Park Service as opposed to BLM). A roundup was recently conducted there (I think that’s how I became aware of the blog). The current post is about three young stallions that need homes. They were adopted but need more time than their adopter can provide – although it sounds like he might be a trainer and has put a great deal of time already into gentling them.

By way of introducing that blog on my blogroll, I thought the need for adopters for those horses was as good excuse as any. Find it here: http://wildhorsesoftrnp.blogspot.com/

And hopefully there are some folks local to his location who might be interested in one of these colts (3 and 4 years old).

As far as our Spring Creek Basin horses, I’m glad they’re all mostly in great shape and winter-coated because we got blasted this week with snow and wind and icy temps. Because of that – and the roads in less-than-ideal condition for a trip that, on a good day, takes me two hours – I decided not to venture out to see them this week. More snow is forecast to blow in Friday through Monday. I miss them now; by next week, I might not be able to stand not seeing them. Keep them in your thoughts, though I think they’re probably quite well and happy with all this “fresh water” for the taking, whenever they want it … though it might be a little hard moving around and browsing! Also, think of all the great water our ponds – especially the newly dug ones – will be full of next spring!
