Handsome pony … stunning view of McKenna Peak and Temple Butte across Spring Creek Basin.
Yep, must be mustang country.

Red-haired girl

It wasn’t the gnats that had Tesora in a seeming funk – too cold and windy. Maybe she was self-conscious about her beard (probably not). 🙂 She, like all the horses, are shedding quickly.
Although we didn’t get as much rain as anticipated, we did get temps – daytime temps – in the 30s (and yes, some big, heavy flakes of snow that added to our ground moisture). But now Colorado weather predictors are marching us toward 80-degree temps.
So April did, indeed, end with lovely showers; now we hope May brings flowers – and lots of grass!

Blowin’ on by

Blame it on the wind that blew Juni right into Myst’s super exciting (as you can see) photo shoot.
But I love the way they frame the bottom of a heart around two of Spring Creek Basin’s most beloved landmarks: McKenna Peak and Temple Butte. (That’s salt coming through the soil on McKenna Peak’s eroded flanks; that’s lingering snow higher in the P-J woods of Temple Butte’s ridgeline.)

Temple and Temple Butte – and McKenna Peak – when we still had some snow. Pretty girl in pretty country.

Power of landscape

The magnificent Chrome beneath the icons of his home range: McKenna Peak (pyramid-shaped) and Temple Butte (prominent protruding promontory).
Does any wild horse range equal Spring Creek Basin for beauty? Well, that’s a bit of a trick question! And I may be a wee bit biased (never!)!

Grey girl Piedra against a snow-white background that includes two of Spring Creek Basin’s most iconic landmarks: McKenna Peak and Temple Butte. Gorgeous.

Glorious snow

Free-running mustangs gallop across Spring Creek Basin in new snow below McKenna Peak and Temple Butte.
We are thankful for this gift of moisture for our mustangs and other wildlife!

It doesn’t even look real, does it? Paradise on Earth … for Terra and Winona and all of the Spring Creek Basin mustangs.
