From my visit with Steeldust’s band, I spotted Grey/Traveler and his mare, Houdini, and their daughter, Terra. They were closer than I had seen them in several visits, so I took the opportunity to walk out for a visit.
You can’t see the girl’s big belly too well in this one, though, so how about this view:
Not toooooo bulgey yet … but she has at least a month to go. 🙂
Love to “capture” their faces.
Also love to photograph them against the (La Sal) mountains!
My gorgeous, high-desert boy, sleepy in the sunshine.

Gosh, look how BIG Terra is!!! That face is so unique – hasn’t changed at all! Houdini’s obviously been a good Mom! Your portrait of Grey is the best we’ve ever seen and you’ve done so many great shots! He’s BEAUTIFUL, ELEGANT, STRONG – WOW!!
Great job!
Be there soon!

Hi TJ,
I was writing a speech in Wildlife Management and i was just wondering if you could tell me what the total number of wildhorses in the US is?? I cant seem to find it anywhere. thanks
haha sorry i found all the information i needed on the blm website and other peoples blogs. This will be an interesting speech i keep turning it into a persuasive speech and its supposed to be informative. That just shows how much i care for theses little guys.
Nicole, be sure you quote your sources of those numbers. BLM’s own numbers regarding numbers of wild horses (total, in short- and long-term holding, and in the wild varies by a few thousand horses depending on the date, who you ask and what they had for breakfast. The reality is, no one really knows how many wild horses are out there.
Thanks soo much for the information. This speech was so hard to write becuse i kept trying to turn it into a persuasive one and its just an informal one. I still think taht it will have some impact on some people becuase they are all younger and really love the animals and i think they understand why they should stay around. I hope all is well and thanks again for all the information i learned a lot!!
Also, you might look up information about PZP – I just sent you an email.
L&K – I do hope to see ya’ll soon! Terra is just a gorgeous girl, as is only natural with as gorgeous a daddy as Grey! 😉
Oh, she’s beautiful! I hope to see pictures of the little foal, as soon as you see it after it’s born! 😉
Wow! They are all so beautiful!
Don’t worry a minute. You’ll see pix of the babies as they come!
Rochlia – You said it!! 🙂
Yay! I’m so excited… I love foals, but have never seen one in person or seen one being born! 😉 Looking forward to seeing pics soon!

I saw a horse that looked like the sand wash mares today, and thought of you :]
How’s shadow?
Rochlia – I didn’t see Shadow during my last visit (one of only three I didn’t see). She and David can be elusive, but I will be watching for her this spring because I think she’s going to have a foal. I’ll keep you posted!
Should be very soon now that we start seeing our first babies this year …! 🙂
