The lovely Winona. She always evokes such a sense of peace.
Daughter of wild

The Force
23 11 2021
The Force …
… is strong with mustangs.
… is strong with Mother Nature.
… is strong with the wild.
… is strong with the freedom of Mother Nature-watched-over mustangs in the wilds of Spring Creek Basin.

On a mission

Why did Sundance cross the arroyo?
To graze on the other side, of course!

Those horses, with that background, let me know I’m home. Winona and Mariah; McKenna Peak and Temple Butte. 🙂

Not a blade out of place

What’s not to love about an autumn evening full of light and water … and mustangs on the verdant range?
Not a thing. Absolutely not a single thing!

Thinking girl

Tesora’s winter coat is growing in darker than I think I’ve ever seen it. Coppery red or burnished like an old penny, she’s still lovely!

Our pretties
22 10 2021
Just as the shadows were creeping toward us, about to overtake us, Dundee and Rowan (with Aiyanna and Buckeye very nearby), looked up from their grazing, heads up, ears up, and a spectacular horizon behind them.
The girls are getting fuzzy – as everybody is right now! – and filling out nicely. So very pretty. 🙂

Love birds, err, ponies

Gaia and Storm enjoy a little couple time on a ridge a bit southwest of McKenna Peak.
Finding them was a definite case of being in the absolute right place at the absolute right time; I saw Gaia and another horse from a distance … and then they disappeared again. I didn’t see them on my hike out to them until I was below their ridge, where another band member was napping just visible at the near-top of the ridge.
I’m always glad to see these guys. They’re so rarely seen!

Grey rock gone red
16 10 2021
Seneca walks past a sunset-lit background rarely seen from this angle in the far southeastern region of Spring Creek Basin. The usual grey of the Mancos shale was lit up by intense low light, making it glow red. A brilliant background for a brilliant girl (even if she does seem to be showing her grumpy face!).

Sprint before the rain
30 09 2021
The most lovely Terra gallops across the landscape to keep up with her band.
Clouds in the background (east-southeast) seemed to promise rain, but we didn’t get any until the next morning – an intense, quick little storm from the west – and that, just a drizzle.
I do love that horizon! It looks like a master’s painting!
