Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

My boy Storm, checking on his girls between chews (hence the puckered lips).

Still a little fuzzy, but the horses are shedding quickly with these warm days.

Kestrel is starting to show off her dappled summer coat. Doesn’t she look lovely!?

Skywalker has his sights set on a couple of young mares in the band he’s following, but that band’s lieutenant takes his protection duties seriously. Mostly, Skywalker is content to follow along and continue to look for weaknesses in the defense.

When visiting wild ponies, don’t forget to take in your surroundings … even those surroundings fairly far away.

How Temple remains so perfectly coifed in the strong winds of her high-desert homeland is anybody’s guess. (I suspect the faeries have a special love for her; they’re constantly braiding the other horses’ manes into knots!)

My goodness, Maia.

She does love her mud. 🙂

I’m glad she’s found enough to submerge herself (I think she had more full-body coverage than the last time we saw her); it’s awfully dry out there.

As I was ending a late-day visit with a band the other day, I looked out to find that we had an audience. 🙂
