Ty bit off a little more than he could chew. I think that’s snakeweed, and they do eat it, but not usually in one giant mouthful!

RIP, Garnet Pasquale
30 01 2014Rest is not for one such as Garnet, a person her friends called a “warrior woman,” tireless in her efforts to protect mustangs, particularly in her home state of Nevada.
Garnet contacted me a few years ago to learn about documenting mustangs and about PZP. As mentor advocates had done for me, I passed that knowledge along to Garnet, and she developed tools to help form the Spring Mountain Alliance and offer solutions to protect their mustangs. “Paying it forward” gave me immense satisfaction.
Garnet’s friend Arlene said Garnet would give us nudges to keep us moving in the right direction. Coming up on the one-year anniversary of the passing of my mustang friend Pati Temple, I can vouch for the truth of that. These warriors still are in the fight.
Heaven is richer for these angels we’ve called friends, and for sweet girl Ryah, who joined them today.
Your nudges are felt.

Grass and light and spots
29 01 2014Copper and Reya with her babies in pretty late light. Spirit is nearly as big as S’aka.
Amazingly, we have rain and snow in the forecast. Any wetness to hit our dry ground is welcome.

Two, interested
27 01 2014Still some snow out there, but it’s going, going. The grey girls should be camouflaged in winter snow, but they stand out against the brown.
Maia, Alegre and Houdini are pretty girls, aren’t they!

Visiting neighbors
24 01 2014These lovely ladies have made themselves at home in Spring Creek Basin. It surely beats wading through snow in the high country, though “snow” is a term planets away from this country this winter.
This pic was taken after sunset as I was walking away from a divine visit with the horses. Lots of critters call the basin home.

Something about …
23 01 2014It’s a beautiful view, isn’t it?
But there’s something about adding a horse, wild, that takes a view this beautiful and makes it magic. Knowing they are there, in the wild heart of America, should make us all believe in things bigger and better than ourselves.

Faraway
22 01 2014Hollywood with a faraway look in his eye. He was hanging with his band while the other horses were below a nearby ridge.

Clouds welcome
20 01 2014Cassidy Rain on a rare cloudy day.
In the land of sunshine and postcard-perfect days, some clouds – and moisture – would be very welcome.
