Magnificent mustangs must make mud baths marvelous!

Copper knows the value of spa treatments. 🙂

Did anyone order rain?

Ma Nature delivered SNOW!

You really have to laugh at how well she came through for us. 🙂 It’s spring snow and packed with moisture.





Mustang caught in a cat nap

Mysterium, Temple Butte

Mysterium and her band had a little nap – as they do multiple times a day. This one was shared with yours truly. With the sunshine and breeze, it was hard to keep our eyes open! (Some of us didn’t!)

Parts of Colorado (including our part) are under a freeze warning. … We’re really hoping that the chance of rain actually materializes over Disappointment Valley and Spring Creek Basin.

Killian

Young Killian has his hooves full dealing with a band of independent mares. He’s doing a good job. 🙂

Copper, flank of Temple Butte

Handsome bay boy Copper also is feeling spring in the air.

Those clouds did eventually bring us some rain, and we were grateful to get it!





Happy Mother’s Day!

Chipeta, Temple Butte

Big love to all moms, for taking care of us, supporting us, encouraging us, loving us!

Today, we thank you for all that you do for us, and we hope in turn that you feel cared for, supported, encouraged … and LOVED! 🙂

Particularly, I thank my mom. She’s the best! 🙂

Skywalker

Remember my recent chortling about battling stallions and how we don’t see much of it?

That’s not to say that we don’t see ANY of it!

Young Master Skywalker is in one of his phases of actively seeking a mare, and he has the bloody lip (and jaw and cheek – and a few other places) to show for it (“it” being his lack of success … so far).

Skywalker

The mares seem pretty content where they are, and with whom … for the time being. But it’s only a matter of time for this young studly.

Kwana and Puzzle

This was another through-the-window shot, and Puzzle and Kwana are on or very near a road as it curves around above an arroyo from my position.

They must know how amazingly beautiful they are?? 🙂





The golden view

Houdini, Maia and Alegre

Another sight to soften the heart and keep alive the desire to protect at all costs.

Seeing spring coats revealed is better than Christmas morning. 🙂
