Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Puzzle in the lovely late light that accentuates the folds and furrows of late autumn in Spring Creek Basin. You’d never know winter was on our horizon by the still-dry conditions. We’ll take rain or snow, but we need moisture.

My GOODNESS, isn’t she stunning?!

Skywalker the handsome. What a hunk. 🙂

Sometimes the long view is the best view.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. There’s so much for which I am grateful.

Today is a day when, all across this country, we sit down with family members and friends who are like family – family we’ve mixed and matched and made our own – and share food and laughter and love. We don’t have to sit, of course; I like to hike with my four-legged family, across the ridges and plateaus and mesas and through the arroyos. 🙂

‘Tis the season of gratitude, and I am grateful for every single day I am fortunate to spend in Disappointment Valley and Spring Creek Basin with these amazing mustangs.

For my family, I’m immensely grateful. They set me on this path of horses before ever I was a twinkle in their eyes because THEY were fortunate enough to grow up with horses. 🙂 Thanks, Mom and Dad. Though I won’t see any of them this holiday, I’m very grateful that my brother, Jeff, was able to, at the last minute, fly home to Texas to enjoy a few days.

For all those I’ve met on this amazing journey following the mustangs, I’m wonderfully grateful. Thank you for all you do, however and from wherever you do it.

Be grateful in this life. It’s an amazing world out there, and every day is a day of gratitude!
