These beauties are in the bay stallion’s band at Green Mountain. I got to sit on a rock for a while with them. We had a bit of sunshine before some welcome rain rolled through the area.
Windy Wyoming

We’ve had our share of wind in Disappointment Valley. But it’s true what they say about that ol’ Wyoming wind. … It doesn’t seem to bother the wild ones much.

My mommy will protect me

You’ll recognize this cutie from the previous post. She was very curious. And very proud of being nearly as tall as mama. (She liked to hook her chin over mama’s back.)
Mama, meanwhile, was busy with groceries. 🙂

Here’s looking at you, kids!

These two Green Mountain youngsters (probably a 2-year-old (foreground) brother and yearling sister) were attached at the hip and by far the most interested in me of anybody else in their band.
Sweet babies with a stunning background!

My pretties

These are members of the bay stallion’s band in Green Mountain Herd Management Area. The black mare in the foreground is the sorrel foal’s mama, and the black mare in the background is the mama of the stunning little pinto baby, who was pretty little and new-ish.
It’s a pretty beautiful place to grow up WILD!

Defender(s)

This stallion had one foal in his band and at least one heavily pregnant mare. He was watchful, and a yearling her older sibling were the most curious about my presence. Otherwise, the horses grazed and ignored me (well, at least they weren’t bothered!).
There are some tremendous views from Green Mountain!

Green and blue … and more

The grass was tremendous, even in April.
The horses weren’t too shabby, either. 🙂 Though the youngsters all still wore their shaggy winter coats.

Large, dark and hunky

Did I mention handsome?
This hunky boy captains a large band in Green Mountain Herd Management Area, southwest of Casper, Wyo.
Big shout of thanks to Chad and Lynn Hanson – Prairie Girl – for dinner and directions to Green Mountain and Stewart Creek HMAs. Lynn has been following the blog for years, and finally we made plans come together to get together in Wyoming. Hopefully, she and Chad will pull off a visit to Disappointment Valley very soon (now you HAVE to come! :)).
Wowza, right?

Hello,
I am a Librarian at the Longmont Public Library. We have invited Pulitzer Prize-winning author and national correspondent for The New York Times, Dave Philipps, to come speak at the Library about his book “Wild Horse Country: The History, Myth, and Future of the Mustang”. He will outline the history and myth of the wild horse, how both helped create the current debacle, what science can tell us about sustainable ways to preserve the wild horse, and some of the last wild places in the west where the herds live.
I was hoping you might be interested or might pass on the word to your
readers.
The event takes place on February 1 (**note date change**) from 7-8pm at the Longmont Public Library.
Registration is required, it is free, and additional info is available on our website.
Thank you.
