Guess where I am. 🙂
OK, where I was. It was a too-short visit, and I know you don’t usually (ever) associate mustangs with the deepest, densest jungles. And yet, today, there I was.
The mister
The mister’s mother
The mister’s son
The mister’s other son (he liked to play peek-a-boo)
The mister’s (other) mare
Cutie!
And playful, too!
Where on Earth am I?
Hint:
These sweet babies also call this range home.
Too-too short, the visit; well worth the visit. Many thanks to my wonderful friend who shared the visit. 🙂
Update note: My wonderful friend is, of course, Matt Dillon, director of the Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center in Lovell, Wyo. He keeps the Pryor Wild blog – was my inspiration in starting this blog – and knows the Pryor Mountain horses better than anyone (just ask him about kinship!). We also saw Blizzard’s band (one of my favorites, and I had a wonderful visit with them last fall) from a great distance (if you take a trip with Matt, you’ll be amazed at his eagle eyes!), as well as the bighorn sheep family (two ewes, mothers of the babes in the photo above, and a yearling). I wish I’d had longer to visit!
Spring Creek Basin Mustangs 
Bighorn Canyon (Pryor Mountains)! Admiral and his family. 🙂 What great photos. Hope you had a good time!
You know your horses, Pam! I knew you’d know! 🙂 Awesome! I love Admiral and his shiny dark coat. We didn’t see many horses (Blizzard’s was the other band – way away), and I just didn’t have time to stay, but the ones we saw were just gorgeous, and the time spent was awesome!
At first when I saw Admiral, I thought he was Duke! :] But I know who Hightail is, and that she lives in the Pryor Mountains! [Speaking of Duke, I love the recent pictures of him-he is amazingly beautiful!]
I tried asking him to come out and pose, but he’s humble – wouldn’t hear of it! 😉 Now that you mention it, he DOES resemble Duke quite a bit – especially from that limited sighting in the willow jungle!
