Please forgive the radio silence of the last several (many?) days (weeks?)! The last couple of weeks have been full of horses and family, and I’ve taken a bit of an Internet break.
In the “very good news” category, Disappointment Valley and Spring Creek Basin got some much-needed rain in early June to cap our pretty nice May moisture, and we returned to find Spring Creek flowing! – in the spring!! – unbelievable!!! (Spring Creek and its tributary arroyos drain Spring Creek Basin before they converge in one arroyo that bears the name. Spring Creek flows only when a major rain event occurs, and we almost never get enough rain in the spring for it to actually flow.)
As we hoped, and as you might imagine, yes, it filled some ponds. What a relief! A couple still have some filling to do, but we’re in good shape for the summer. And the grass … well, it’s pretty green out there, especially for Disappointment in the early summer.
The horses are just as slick and shiny and healthy as mustangs can be, and posts should resume shortly to prove it!

TJ, with all the new and lush grass, is there a possibility of horses foundering? Does that happen? At all? Often?
Oops, forgot to add, or not on range grasses? Just back east with the fancy grass? 😉
The likelihood of mustangs foundering is pretty slim. It’s not exactly lush at any time of year, even when we’ve had good rain/grass. 🙂 And the mustangs are pretty savvy about what they eat!
