Are you noticing a theme? The pintos in Sand Wash Basin are flashy and splashy and gorgeous!
That’s filly Braley, granddaughter of the one and only Picasso. Just at right is her band stallion (and sire?) Voodoo.
Don’t you love the spots even in her little blaze??
This flashy young guy is going to steal all the girls’ hearts in Sand Wash Basin!
Wonder where he’s going?
This big boy was the lieutenant stallion for the band yesterday’s colt is in. The blue-eyed boy was more interested in grazing than in the photographer, but I might finally have gotten a pic of him the next morning.
This guy gleams like he has been groomed. Must be all that gooooood livin’ in Sand Wash Basin!
Thank you all for indulging my photo gallery of Sand Wash Basin mustangs! Our Spring Creek Basin mustangs are doing very well, and we’ve had a tiny bit of rain here and there. I still have some photos from Sand Wash Basin, so if you’ll indulge me a little longer … 🙂
That little punkin’ is blowing a raspberry at me!
He and his marvelous mama (and big brother?) are with some other horses in a band led by a hunky sorrel stallion with one gorgeous blue eye – and one equally beautiful brown eye. 🙂
Look, wild, free-roaming humans!

What DO they think of us??
Mama horse had her own ideas of how her family portrait should be arranged, and the young guy on the right wasn’t part of her plan.
Clearly, the grey boy at left has won this lady’s favor. 🙂
Kiowa’s band walks across the sage- and grass-covered range to join other bands in a big group of marvelous mustangs at sunset.
Sand Wash Basin is amazing, amazing country. Mustang country!
Hello, my pretty!
This sweet filly was calm and curious while I visited her band just after sunset in Sand Wash Basin. It was a fantastic welcome to this wide-open range in northwestern Colorado … capped by the full moon rising over the very-far-away horizon!
Isn’t this gorgeous boy handsome?
In some cases, the continued use of the word “gorgeous” may be considered overuse. Not so in the case of Sand Wash Basin’s mustangs!
