Aka Maia. 🙂
Wow. That’s some serious mud immersion! She and her band weren’t far from a pond that still has good water. Hopefully we have some rain coming this weekend. It is dry, dry, dusty dry.
In good news: Today is the last day of third rifle season.

😂 Now that is some mud coat she’s got going on! Maybe she’s attempting a bit of incognito…going dark. 😁 And yes, TJ; we are so very powdery dry and hopefully the moisture will increase tomorrow.
Maybe she wanted to be a brunette for a little while? 🙂 Hopefully the rain WILL hit us! Sunday has a pretty high chance!
I’m sitting here thinking its a darn good thing you gave her name – not that I’m familiar with all those horses like you are – but the mud turns her into a whole new entity.
I remember those days – but my next thought was I have to scrape that off if I want to ride!!!! Chico always looked SO satisfied!
Ha – they all like to play in the mud. 🙂
Looks like she had a long stay at the spa! She needs a good long soak to get all that mud off!
She needs a seaweed wrap (!?) next! 😉
Glad Hunting is gone. Wow mud! Let it rain!
It’s sure over now. We still have fourth season, but it’s way less crowded than third. Shouldn’t be too many people. Crossing fingers for rain, rain, rain! 🙂
She’s going undercover. 😄
Ha! Camouflage girl! 🙂
Have to change her name to Gaia unless that’s taken already. I hate hunting season.
Maia also is a May Day baby. Gaia – sorrel mare with Storm – is an Earth Day baby. 🙂 Third season – the worst season – is now over. Breathing a huge sigh of relief … though there are folks here who have yet to leave the valley.
Very lovely. I hate it — sign outside the local liquor store, “Welcome Hunters” — what could go wrong?
I laugh … but only because I get it. I will say that there’s a group of Texans who come and hunt here … I’ve seen them at least three times previously. I don’t know them; I’ve never talked to them. Every time they leave, I see big (clear) bags of all their cans securely stashed on their flatbed trailers. I thank them (not that they hear it) every single time. (Beer cans, soda cans, cans of beans … whatever they are, they pack ’em out.) I’ll also say that I’ve found very little trash along the road this season. I keep it picked up with the idea that seeing no trash will encourage them to NOT toss their trash. … Whether it’s conscious or unconscious, it seems to work pretty well.
Yep. The economy here runs on Texans.
