Corazon’s attention was briefly caught by whinnies from his band members over the edge of the hill while they grazed near Spring Creek canyon.
That was the moment I caught him in the late light. Best kind of capture. 🙂
All well in his world

So beautiful, TJ. Stunning late light and Corazon caught in its ethereal reflection. All IS well. This is such a peaceful, inspiring scene.
Just … yes. 🙂
TJ, you and the horses are so lucky.
*I wake up grateful every day.*
Another beautiful picture! Love this pinto dude!
He’s one of the old guard and a fierce and handsome ol’ guy. 🙂
I love him. Let him know.
Oh my gosh! I DO! I totally tell them that. I tell them all the time how much *I* love them, and I also tell them that I wish they could know how much they are loved by humans they have no concept of understanding. *Insert happy-crying emoji here* 🙂 🙂 🙂 Thank you so much for this comment. 🙂 🙂 🙂
I met a horse last week. the most beautiful horse I’ve seen in my life. And huge — not a draft horse, but maybe a thoroughbred. I didn’t have a chance to ask the man who was riding him. The horse lowered his nose to my head. I’m 4’11”. He snuffled. He knew EVERYTHING I was thinking/feeling at that moment. All of it. Then the cowboy (old guy, bibbed overalls, white t-shirt) said the most profound thing I’ve heard in a long time. “Gotta’ go. Too many flies.” I thanked him for stopping so I could meet the horse. Off they went. I’ve never seen anyone ride like that man did. And that horse? He KNEW I was astonished by him and loved him. I seriously seriously think horses know everything and wild horses probably especially. 😍
Love everything about that meeting. 🙂 I’m quite sure that horses/mustangs/animals/wild animals know everything, and I wish I could know even part of what they know. 🙂
I’m with you there. That big horse? “Oh, it’s you, Martha. Hello!” I loved that man, too, who put his horse before a conversation with me even though he’d ridden over for a chat. I half feel like having “Gotta’ go. Too many flies” tattooed on my arm.
Ha – I have totally been known to say those exact words – and also substitute “gnats” – while on and off a horse. 🙂 Glad the man didn’t want to subject his big horse to the flies longer than he had to … and I hope you get to visit with them again!
I’m pretty sure I will. I got to talk to him (and another horse) this past spring. I knew he was my kind of human because he introduced his horse, not himself, and I introduced my dog, not myself. People need to have values. 🤣 This past time, I thanked him for stopping and said, “There’s nothing I’d rather see than a horse.” He just nodded, like, “Of course.”
Exactly so. 🙂
