Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Copper in the snow. Ah, it’s nice to reminisce about the so-called winter of 2013-14 now that it’s springtime in the basin.

He was checking out Ty’s band across the arroyo.

Wishing you all love and wildness on this day of hearts alight!

Spirit addresses an itch and manages to look ultra cute while doing it!

Most of that snow is gone now. Temperatures in the 50s will do that.

Ah, young love. Kwana and Madison, in different bands, slowly grazed their way toward each other until they met. Madison was quick to let Kwana know that she would tolerate no foolishness. Don’t mess with a wild girl!

Snowy S’aka cocks his head all the better to check out the funny intruder. Check out the cool chevron on his neck, perfectly placed.

“Another bay mustang mare” is our girl Madison. But certainly this bay beauty is not bland! Her refinement and quiet intelligence shine from her sweet face.

Ty and his girls a few days ago after the last snowfall. This was Copper’s and the youngsters’ view in a previous photo post. You can sorta see the arroyo behind Ty – it runs at about the level of his hocks. All three of them were beyond it while I was first hanging out with the pintos. Why did the mustang cross the arroyo? Curiosity, of course! 🙂

Seneca crashes her mama’s photoshoot. It was a cold day after the snow.

S’aka, Spirit and Copper watch Ty leave his band on the other side of the near arroyo and come closer to investigate the pinto band.

Look at that snow. And the snow mustaches! And the ice hanging from S’aka’s sides. His heavy winter coat is doing its job to insulate him and keep him warm. This photo was taken shortly after a brief blizzard that added to the cover that fell a couple of days ago.
