Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

The world is beautiful.

Hollywood doesn’t like Miss Shane to go visiting. He thinks it’s flirting, and that just won’t do. 🙂

A day is guaranteed to go well when Miss Gaia graces the blog. 🙂

Hollywood walks with Alegre while the band follows another band. There’s actually a road just beyond them, but you can’t see it for the greenery.

We’re amazingly blessed this year.

Skywalker the fabulous was walking across this open area, starting from fairly close to my left and angling away because of the band (and stallion) he’s looking at in the pic above. I thought I’d catch him walking in a good stride between McKenna Peak (right) and Temple Butte but was lamenting the fact that he was basically walking away.

And then he stopped.

And looked – posed, if you will.

RIGHT. IN. PERFECT. SYMMETRY!

Skywalker really is a Jedi with mind powers. 🙂

… and still they come back.

Hollywood demonstrates the postures of gnat season:

And back to grazing …

It’s (nearly) summer in the basin. 🙂

In yesterday’s post, I said that I hadn’t found or heard of a bug spray that works against these (infamous) gnats. Veterinarian Gigi Gaulin notified me about a family-owned company in Georgia that makes an all-natural bug spray: https://www.nonatz.com/

Many of the questions I get about visiting the basin and the mustangs this time of year center around this question: Are the gnats out yet?

They’re a thing, people. Well, lots and lots of little things. They’re no joke!
