Piedra follows a band mate across runoff from an arroyo seep where she and her band and another band drank before heading up to graze on a little bench above the arroyo.
We should have rain by the time you read this post this morning!
Happy Easter. 🙂
Still wooly. Still snow out there in the high(er) places. Rowan and Dundee are ready for spring. 🙂

Sunshine through snow at a distance results in those soft colors we love that complement the mustangs – sleepy Seneca in this case – so well. Cozy coats still make for comfortable napping in such weather.
Our weather is still a bit unsettled the rest of this week before we have some rain in the forecast in a few days. If we could get rain once or twice a week, it would go a long way toward making ours a green spring!
Springtime? Check.
Sunshine? Check.
Snow? Check.
Springtime in Colorado? Double check!
Spring is here. Here’s the proof in the budding greasewood. 🙂
I’m always happy when I see the greasewood budding again. It’s a good source of protein that the mustangs eat like ice cream. I equate it with warming weather, shedding coats and plumping ponies.
This young stallion is following a bigger band – at a respectful distance. Even from the other side of a little ridge, he keeps an eye on the other horses.
Lingering clouds crown Utah’s La Sal Mountains, ever-present sentinels of our northwestern horizon.
Kestrel makes that horizon view so much more … wild.
I can’t really explain what captures me about this pic of Terra … but maybe it captures you, too.
Flash makes his way down a muddy trail from ridgetop to arroyo bottom. A band was drinking at the seep (there’s almost always water there) while he was moseying. By the time he arrived, they had mostly left and were grazing above the arroyo and below the neighboring ridgetop.
He may be losing his spots to his greyness, but he’s still a pretty striking young stallion!
