Mare in Voodoo's band

Look at this plump black beauty, glowing russet in the first light of morning in Sand Wash Basin. She’s one of Voodoo’s mares.





Can’t be bothered

Meteor, yearling colt in Star's band.

Meteor, yearling colt in Star’s band: Um. Trying to nap here.

He was so bothered – not – that I was able to walk all the way around him (giving him a respectful wide berth) to photograph his big hunky daddy (?) from several angles, and then move on to another nearby band. He never rose from his nap, watched over faithfully by Star and his mare, Meteor’s mama. 🙂

Isn’t he super cute?!

Piedra checks in with faithful readers to ensure everyone that she and the rest of her Spring Creek Basin compadres are doing well and getting ready to return to the spotlight. 🙂

Flashy pinto colt and sorrel stallion in Sand Wash Basin.

Are you noticing a theme? The pintos in Sand Wash Basin are flashy and splashy and gorgeous!

That’s filly Braley, granddaughter of the one and only Picasso. Just at right is her band stallion (and sire?) Voodoo.

Don’t you love the spots even in her little blaze??

Lieutenant stallion in Sand Wash Basin.

This big boy was the lieutenant stallion for the band yesterday’s colt is in. The blue-eyed boy was more interested in grazing than in the photographer, but I might finally have gotten a pic of him the next morning.

This guy gleams like he has been groomed. Must be all that gooooood livin’ in Sand Wash Basin!

Thank you all for indulging my photo gallery of Sand Wash Basin mustangs! Our Spring Creek Basin mustangs are doing very well, and we’ve had a tiny bit of rain here and there. I still have some photos from Sand Wash Basin, so if you’ll indulge me a little longer … 🙂





Little poo

Colt in Sand Wash Basin band of blue-eyed sorrel stallion (dam is grey).

That little punkin’ is blowing a raspberry at me!

Mare and colt in the band of a blue-eyed sorrel stallion in Sand Wash Basin.

He and his marvelous mama (and big brother?) are with some other horses in a band led by a hunky sorrel stallion with one gorgeous blue eye – and one equally beautiful brown eye. 🙂





Perspective

Mama horse had her own ideas of how her family portrait should be arranged, and the young guy on the right wasn’t part of her plan.

Clearly, the grey boy at left has won this lady’s favor. 🙂
