Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Temple shows where some of the mud is going – her legs. 🙂

Some of the horses had tails that were dipped in thick mud!

Snow is in the forecast!

Spring Creek Basin may have looked like that again as the sky cleared yesterday after the blustery blizzards that swept through in a couple of waves. … But it didn’t look like that for long because the fresh stuff melted pretty quickly.

Short of hurricanes or tornadoes, we had almost every weather condition yesterday that you can imagine. What we did NOT have were very cold temps, so it is WET out there. And that’s a very good thing.

Above, that’s Kwana in his snowy homeland at the very end of December.

Alegre the very most beautiful pauses for a momentary portrait with Brumley Point in the background.

We’ve had some warm weather – and by warm, I mean low 50s – so our snow is melting, seeping into the thirsty earth.

No worries, though! Rain (!) is in the forecast … followed by snow. 🙂 We’re ready!

The view that’s worth a second look. That handsome bay pony is ALWAYS worth a look. 🙂

While we were back in the east pocket, we could hear baying hounds. We never saw them – they seemed to be up on the ridge to the north (more to the left out of frame), but the horses were well aware of them.

Houdini was feeling shy. See her – just barely – behind Hollywood?

And Shane was feeling so good in the sunshine while a few flakes continued to fall, she just didn’t feel like turning around.

That’s Brumley Point in the background.

We didn’t get much snow with this system, but we still have enough that I was wearing my snowshoes to visit them. 🙂

My favorite kind of snow. … The falling kind! 🙂
