Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Sunset’s glow warms Aspen as he watches over his mares in Spring Creek Basin.

What a mud ball! As dry as it is, it’s good to know the horses are finding mud – along with water. 🙂

Prettiest Winona in her summer coat with only the faintest dapples shining through … and that funny little looped wind knot in her mane.

As hot and dry as it has been, the basin still has a faint glamour of green across its hills and arroyos. We’re ready for monsoons. Even a dash of moisture will tide us over till those welcome afternoon rains arrive.

Oh, you handsome devil! Young Skywalker is looking for love. He hasn’t found it yet … but surely soon.

If his tail looks a little funny … that’s a stick. He galloped over to have a dusty discussion with Killian and returned with this giant stick stuck in his tail! Somewhere along the line, he has managed to get it unstuck. 🙂

Before the lovely, wonderful and wondrous rains, we had plenty ’o dust. Killian and Skywalker churned some up during a little boy-to-boy chat, then parted peacefully to continue the search for greenery.

Thoroughbred of the desert, eh? Mustangs embody all that is good and right about the essential *horse*.

Tenaz and Bounce had a friendly chat over a stud pile. They added to it … and that was that.

Not to brag, but this might be the nicest stud-pile photo evah. 🙂
