This handsome guy is – in fact – Guy, band stallion in Piceance-East Douglas Herd Management Area near Meeker. My friend Pam Nickoles gave me the ID after confirming with her friend Dona Hilkey.
Isn’t he a beefcake? I couldn’t get over how stout and SHINY these horses all were.
The horses pictured are just part of his band; he had another mare and foal pair, and another single mare. Gorgeous family!
Spring Creek Basin Mustangs 
He is a real hunk!
Beautiful! Happy the snake was freed to go about his/her snaky way. (and you survived) 😉
Beautiful – I wonder… where are all the over-populated herds that are in the process of being rounded up once again? I realize you & your local BLM are a whole different ballgame from many other regions. From this picture & others from Pam – Piceance-East Douglas – not there either or at least no “starving” horses in this band.
Something wonderful is in their natural healthy diet! Thanks TJ for sharing
What a looker!
