Mariah whinnies to a band she can see a pretty fair distance away. I’m not sure who she was communicating with – or trying to – but it elicited a couple of answering (sympathetic?) whinnies from a couple of her band mates.

Update: It is raining like crazy over Disappointment Valley and the entire region (all of the Western Slope, according to the radar, which very often lies, but I think is pretty accurate right now!). This is only a guess currently (9 a.m.), but I’m sure all those little and big arroyos are running, I’m sure Spring Creek is running again, I’m sure Disappointment Creek is running! I’m sure ponds are filling (whether from dry depressions or semi-full already), and I’m equally sure this is fantastic for all the water catchments in the basin.
Yay for late-season RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kind of obvious she had hit a muddy spot earlier!
Yes, even when it’s dry, there are ponds and seeps in the arroyos, so mud to roll in. As warm as it has been during daytime hours (until today!), I’m sure the horses have been warm and sweaty under their growing coats, and rolling helps with that itchy, heavy hair.
Long distance conversations and a little mudbath action going on for Mariah lately! 😁
There’s going to be a lot more opportunity for muddy rolling currently and in the near future. It’s already soggy, soggy, soggy! 🙂
Looks like she had a great mud bath! So glad for the rain!
Nearly full sunshine in a brilliant Colorado-blue sky now. 🙂 We sure needed the rain!
double / triple yeah 💦💦💦
Awww 😊
