Bonus gifts

4 12 2023

Not only did we get the gift of snow Friday, I saw Hollywood on Saturday. 🙂

He’s thin (much more thin than I’d like to see him at this time of year (or any time of year)), but he seems to be relatively OK. He drank at the edge of a frozen pond, then walked away on a trail to the spot where I found him napping in the (relatively) warm sunlight. He didn’t acknowledge my presence much at all (which was OK as it meant he wasn’t bothered), and I was able to walk around and get a good look at him. I couldn’t tell about his eye (napping, he had both of them mostly closed), but other than being thin, he doesn’t seem to have any particular injuries.

He did pick a very scenic location to stop for a midday nap. 🙂

Bonus: Hollywood’s scenery looking across Spring Creek Basin and Disappointment Valley to Utah’s La Sal Mountains, looking pristine under a cover of fresh snow.

So good to see Hollywood. Hope he can keep on keeping on! And he has impeccable taste when it comes to nap spots – sun and scenery. 😁

I so agree. I was starting to worry about him.

Good to see him – still wish he had found some “friends” – maybe another bachelor stallion. It has to be lonely for him.

I’ve seen a number of older stallions that stick to themselves when they lose their bands. Sometimes they get together with other bachelors, but they seem fine on their own … and they don’t have to use energy to defend themselves and keep from being injured. He has mostly stayed away from other horses.

Just knowing they are herd animals & to lose their families like that & be alone – its just sad.

I’m so happy you saw him! I’ve been thinking about him lately.
He’s still a noble mustang. What a view he has! He picked the right spot. ❤️

A lot of love surrounds him, whether he’s aware of it or not. 🙂
