Seneca is a moseyer. In the course of her moseying, the band often drifts along – away – in their grazing, leaving Miss Mosey feeling all lonesome-like. Then she has to catch up.
And no, I have no idea why her tail is so short!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the fabulous mothers out there – especially mine! 🙂 I love you, Mom! 🙂
Some of our wild little ponies are still sporting some “buffalo fur” as they shed their winter jackets. If possible, it makes them cuter than ever.
In the few weeks since this photo of Puzzle was taken, much of the snow on the hills in the background has melted, giving way to green grass under those far pines.
Those hills lead to an area locally known as The Glade, south of Spring Creek Basin and at higher altitude. We’re still reaping the benefits of that high-country snow in the form of creeks flowing down to our low(er) country.
My two favorite colors.
We got some crazy weather yesterday: rain, graupel, slush, snow – collectively known technically and scientifically as “wet stuff.”
Wet stuff is good stuff. We’ll take any and all of it.
Now that we’re greening up … there are spots of other colors, too. 🙂
This is a variety of Indian paintbrush, one of the most common wildflowers in Spring Creek Basin.
The spring breeze couldn’t keep the gnats from buzzing sweaty brows under visors.
Swishing tails and shaking heads are becoming normal again.
Happy May. 🙂
A lone bachelor *might* be admiring the view. He might be contemplating his next move. He might be thinking how awesome it is to be a mustang in Spring Creek Basin!
We don’t have the biggest range, but it’s expansive enough to make us feel small.
She’s tangled. She’s shaggy.
She’s free. She’s wild.
Cassidy Rain, the darkly, long-leggedly beautiful.
She doesn’t have time to pose for photos, man. Catch her if you can.
This pic of handsome Comanche was taken in the far eastern part of Spring Creek Basin, where the eastern ridges look (and are) fairly close. That background, even on a fairly dull day, makes Com seem to stand out from the landscape.
‘Course, Mr. Handsome doesn’t need a whole lotta help to be a standout. 🙂
