So much better than drinking out of muddy hoofprints. π Hayden drinks his fill from one of the ponds filled from recent rains in Spring Creek Basin.
(After this photo was taken and Hayden wandered off to graze, the musk thistle at back left met its demise at the point of my shovel.)

Ahh, way to go, TJ. Taking care of the horses AND the land.
The rains! Couldn’t be happier.
So very glad there was rain! Hopefully it is a good omen for the rest of the year. Sandy

Look at that clear water. That is so great for the horses. I can never imagine how they can drink the water they do most of the time.
Yeah, rain!
Ah, the Weed Mistress! That was huge!
He is really red. So glad they have an abundance of water!
Hayden really is a handsome boy. So glad you got rain.
Ah, there’s “our” boy! So nice to see a really full pond! Sure hope this monsoon pattern continues for all of us… Nice job on the photo and the thistle! π
Not much rain since then. We’re not greedy, but we’ll always take more rain. π
