Flash’s band is behind him, to the left. He was focused in the direction he’s looking. … Even when they moved up the hill to the left, grazing as they went, he continued to look in that direction. I went higher … and looked and looked. I couldn’t see any other horses, or a coyote, or anything. He was calm, but every now and then, he’d look back in that direction. Eventually (20 minutes later?), sure enough, a bachelor appeared from around the hill in the distance. The wild ones know!
Just a wider scene. A phone is handy for wide scenes. š Love those clouds.
Spring Creek Basin Mustangs 
It’s amazing how those mustangs are so tuned in to what’s going on around them…even far away! Especially those ever vigilant stallions looking out for their “families.” Pretty photos, TJ.
So agree! The wind was blowing from behind him, so he couldn’t smell or hear the horse … my guess is that they’d already had some kind of interaction with him and were waiting for him to appear?! I’d love to know. š
When I read your caption I was thinking the same thing as Sue. Amazing, vigilant, tuned in.
I love seeing the wider scene. The land is beautiful. Open, no buildings, serene.
For sure. Wouldn’t it be amazing to be that tuned in to the nature around us?? A distant cousin once visited and exclaimed that there are no human lights visible from the basin/valley ā like neighbors’ porch or barn lights. And thank goodness for that!
He can see better and hear better than people! Also he has wild instincts!
Super true! š
Yes, they know!!!
For sure, they do. š
