Not too old for a full dunk in a pond, our lady Houdini knows how to keep the buggies at bay.

Waves of color
7 09 2022
Southwest Colorado’s Spring Creek Basin is a looooooonnnngggg way from any tall-grass prairies … but in some places currently in the basin, it sure looks lush. Our favorite (and only) grey-pinto boy Flash models the knee-high galleta handsomely.

If you’re in the area, please join me and Kathryn Wilder from 5:30 to 6:30 this evening at Wilkinson Public Library in Telluride for her reading and talk about “Desert Chrome: Water, a Woman, and Wild Horse in the West.” We’d love to see any local mustang lovers!

Fleeting time
6 09 2022
Sometimes, it’s even harder than usual to find words to convey the beauty or peace or contentment I feel while with the mustangs. Sometimes, neither words nor images can quite do it … and not words and images together. But if even a little is conveyed … I consider both well worth the time spent, with the understanding that no time in the company of mustangs is even a second wasted.

In his presence

Aspen had a brief fling following Hollywood’s band recently, and it allowed me to get some pix of him closer than I usually see him. Always good to spend some time with this elder gentleman.

Buggy flyers

The heat is back, the flying insects are bugging horses and humans alike, and we – including, I imagine, Cassidy Rain – are anticipating the cooler, crisper days of autumn.

Tenaz keeps his eyes on a bachelor pair associated with his band and a lone bachelor. … Just in case his presence and wisdom is needed, you know.

Priceless
2 09 2022
How often do I wish I could bottle the peace of Spring Creek Basin and its wild residents that the whole world should drop the armaments of chaos and war and know even a little dose of it?
Every single day. Every single moment I’m with them.

Nowhere else to be

Skywalker grazes with other bands nearby – and no need to ask why. Look at that grass! Mostly galleta and grama, intermixed with other yummies.
