It takes a stiff wind to pick up and move those heavy braids and twisted strands of mustang mane. The horses take it all as it comes.

Skywalker spit a bit of something that he was grazing, and it blew with the wind (do you see it?).
It was crazy windy. It was beautiful. 🙂

Tenaz is rocking the latest mustang fashion trend: almost-spring-and-trying-to-shed.

It’s a hot look right now on ranges everywhere!

Miss Shane prepares to stand after lying down to roll in the soft mud.

Aspen trots back to his band, which was near another band, as a wave of rain approaches Spring Creek Basin.

We’re so grateful for the rain we’ve gotten lately in Southwest Colorado, and particularly in Spring Creek Basin and greater Disappointment Valley. This is the fuel our grasses need to feed our wildlife.
Though they’re shedding, the horses still have shaggy coats. Nature knows what it knows. We watch it unfold with great anticipation.

Maia was in the shade of a coming rain-wave while Temple Butte glowed in sunlight from a minute break in the clouds.

For just about every photo I take of the horses, in Spring Creek Basin, my impulse for a blog post is to type “handsome,” “gorgeous,” “beautiful,” “phenomenal,” “stunning” …
And who would blame me?

Kwana is all of those and more. So very much, wonderfully more. They all are!

It did. 🙂 Rain, that is.
Love, love, love, LOVE the moisture!
