Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

A and the kids who named Apollo were out in the basin yesterday evening! Great to see her again (we met at my talk this spring in Telluride) and meet the kids who gave Apollo his royal name! Thank you!

I had just come from seeing him and his family and was watching Chrome’s family from the road before I headed out for the day when they drove up. I didn’t realize it was them until they stopped alongside the Jeep because I had my shade/visor in the windshield to protect from the late, low-angle sunshine while I finished notes and enjoyed the horses grazing nearby. What a nice surprise!

Here’s a cute pic of the *big* mister:

And one of him with mama a little earlier in the day:

I hope you guys made it back in time to see them! I think of ya’ll every time I see the boy!
