After a long nap with her bandmates, Seneca moved off to graze. They were atop that little ridge, and here she’s moving downhill with one of Spring Creek Basin’s most iconic views in the background.
The weather has been much cooler lately and more conducive to storm-forming. We have gotten some great rain, and, as always, we’re always hopeful for more.
Beautiful Senecaπ
Another mare who has grown into her mustang-mare wisdom beautifully. π
Another pretty gal! There are so many!
You are SO right. There ARE sooooo many pretty gals in Spring Creek Basin! π
She is such a beautiful old gal – I should be so fetching in my old age! π Love all the Spring Creek Basin landmarks in the background, TJ.
So truly said, and I would have to agree. π
Is that a tail swish, or a chopped tail?
Ha! Good eye, but it’s an optical illusion – and her tail is neither swishing nor chopped. π She’s just below a little … I don’t even know what to call it, but she’s on ground that’s lower than the ground in the foreground, and it’s just the sage or shadscale or fourwing-saltbush – vegetation – that’s obscuring the bottom half of her full-length tail.
I see it now!π
Ha – you probably remember years ago when we had some horses that were sporting short tails and roached manes? I never did really know what was happening. Most likely, probably, was some playful youngsters chewing on anything that moved. I’d almost forgotten about that!
I do remember the roached looking mane, and short tails. They looked like someone had come out and did it. You’re right, probably some pesky youngsters.π
