Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Prepare yourselves for information overload. You want it, and I have a good bit to share.

But first, I know people are crazy to know about this little girl, especially:

Mysterium is right as rain. Taken this morning.

Daddy Kreacher, however, has lost the band to Sundance. This happened right before the roundup. The last I saw them, Kreacher was trailing Sundance – and Chrome. I saw Kreacher today and yesterday, and this morning, he was fairly close to Duke.

Lots of photos to go through to illustrate the info I have, but here are some tidbits to tide you over:

* Mona is still pregnant. At this point, I don’t expect her to foal before October. Yep, that’s late. Naught to do but watch. (Interestingly, Roja also was a month “late” this year … ‘course, for her, “late” was May instead of April.) We’re supposed to have another La Niña winter in this part of Colorado …

* Almost all the stallions and mares that were together before the roundup have returned to each other. The exception is Bounce, who lost Houdini to Traveler in the last week … but hasn’t (yet?) gotten Alegre from Traveler.

* Grass looks really great in some areas, and most of the ponds are brimming with water after that rain we got.

* The horses look amazing and are headed into winter in just about the best possible condition.

* I found all but three horses (stallions): David, Poco and Roach.

Things are still up in the air about the horses at Canon City, but some people are working to provide all of them with great homes. If you’re interested in helping with that effort (looking for monetary donations for equipment/hay/board, etc.), please let me know {mtbgrrl (at) fone (dot) net}, and I will put you in touch with the appropriate people. Thank you!
