Spring Creek Basin Mustangs
Thank you TJ for sharing, great shot. Sundance looks awesomely healthy!!
Yes, and they all look fabulous!
Sundance, or Dancing Sun, as Lacey called him–now you can see why :-).
🙂
What a great picture!
It was a great few moments of action at the water hole!
“Dancing Sun” – I like that! And he truly is. This stallion has “model good looks” in whatever pose you catch him, but it’s especially so when you catch him on the run. Just beautiful.
He’s pretty photogenic!
Really well done!! This is one of your best! Of course, SunnyD makes a great-looking subject anytime! 🙂
He definitely is. 🙂
Your images are beautiful. Last year I had a thematic photo/essay exhibition at the local university on the plight of our wild horses in an effort to raise awareness .It was very well received, so I am collecting new material to have another exhibit in the fall. I would like to visit Spring Creek in June – any tips? Also, I commend you for your involvement with these horses for so many years – I recently came across an article from High Country News, 2012, in which you were featured. Laurie
Thanks, Laurie, and great job with your exhibition about the issues surrounding wild horses and burros! It gets pretty hot here, and Spring Creek Basin is known for very annoying little gnats in May and June. But if you’re adapted to heat and don’t mind bugs, any time is a good time to visit the basin and our mustangs. 🙂 We have made great strides since that HCN article, and during that time, we, like others, have proved the efficacy of PZP!
I have a mustang gelding that looks identical to this photo, could it be him?
Sundance is still wild in Spring Creek Basin. He’s at least 20 now.

Did you adopt your mustang directly after a Spring Creek Basin roundup? What year? I started documenting in 2007. If you adopted him from the 2011 roundup, he would have had a name here, and I could tell you more about him. We sent a certificate kind of thing home with every adopter.
We did get this mustang from spring creek, and we’re wondering if we can get any photos etc you might have. Also, we wanted to know if he had a nameð¤Â Sent from my Galaxy
I started documenting immediately after the 2007 roundup, so if you adopted your mustang from that roundup or earlier, I likely don’t have any pictures of him. I started visiting in 2002, but I didn’t even think of keeping track of the horses until after the 2007 roundup. If you adopted him in 2011, at the Montezuma County Fairgrounds, I likely gave you a packet with his name-in-the-wild and other information. … If he’s as grey now as Sundance, I likely won’t know him because I won’t remember what he looked like 14 years ago! 😁 But I will help if I can.
I sent a photo of him and his paper in the last email. He was captured in 2018Sent from my Galaxy
