Aurora

 

Aurora stands against rain-curtained far hills. We have gotten some rain … though not to the extent forecast. It’s still in our forecast, and we’re still hopeful, even as all the region finally is showing signs of spring green. It’s a beautiful time of year, after all!

Another sign of spring: See how sleek and shiny she is!

Our mares are lucky ladies, aren’t they? 🙂





That light

Comanche

Comanche is handsome in any light, of course, but this light is a highlight in oh so many ways.

 





Got action?

Corazon

 

This brings to mind the insane people who would cause a horse pain in order to achieve maximum action – all in pursuit of a bit of ribbon. Here, Corazon shows off his high-steppin’ ability – naturally. The crazy thing is that Saddlebreds and Tennessee Walking Horses have that natural ability. It’s only humans who would overly and unnaturally exaggerate it.

Sundance

 

Here’s another hunky young(ish) stallion in Spring Creek Basin: Sundance.

The weather has been windy, and the wind makes it dry – drier, even, than normal – which is dry (!). Thankfully, we have rain in the forecast, and if the wind pushes the rain to us, well, we’ll take it!

Oh, lovely Alegre, how we do love the wind in your hair.

Maiku, La Sal Mountains

 

Maiku was just grazing along … and at just the right moment, he raised his head long enough for a perfect pic of Spring Creek Basin with the La Sal Mountains in the background.

The day was perfect, and, as the saying goes, life is good!

Shadow

 

Shadow may be as wide as she is tall.

Hollywood

 

Here’s another, closer look at Hollywood’s most excellent leg stripes.

This fantastic stallion represents introduced blood/genetics – his mother came to us from Sand Wash Basin. We’re pretty happy to have him. 🙂





Nappin’ with the wind

Hayden and Cassidy Rain

Hayden and Cassidy Rain take an early evening nap in the wind and sunshine. That’s Brumley Point in the distance.
