Before the humans knew about the existence of another little band nearby, Spirit was prompt in her investigation of the intruders. Hollywood, laidback guy that he is, wandered after her, but it was very anticlimactic, and he just quietly ushered her back to the rest of his band. All’s well that ends well!
Spring Creek Basin Mustangs 
Oh Cinch. He was my favorite mustang to photograph. Now that we moved to North Carolina about 6 years ago I have to live vicariously through your post and others. I really do miss getting to see the horses.
I’m sure you must miss them terribly. Have you been able to visit and see any of the East Coast wild horses?
You’re such a great storyteller TJ !
I’m just passing on the notes. 😉
Spirit showing her “spirit.” I know. Cheesy. Couldn’t help myself. 😊
Spirit IS a spirited girl! She’s well named. 🙂
Brave girl!
She takes on the characteristics of a lieutenant stallion sometimes. Combination of curiosity and courage, I think!
Wise horse.
That, too. 🙂
❤️ wild horse dynamics… Thank you!
Glad you could see it in person. 🙂
