Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

As noted earlier this week, every day in Spring Creek Basin is a day of thankgiving. … For our land, for our mustangs. This year, as last year, we were especially blessed by summer monsoon rains that filled our ponds, which continue to provide water for the mustangs. Speaking of water, we also got our second new water-catchment project built, courtesy of our awesome BLM range guys.

We have a lot for which to be thankful, from our friends who are like family and family who passed on a love of horses in the first place (!); to our BLM partners, who are great friends to us and the mustangs; to Mother Nature, who needs all the love we can give her now and into the future; and, of course, our amazing mustangs, who bring such joy to so many, just by their freedom and wild beauty. 🙂

And to YOU, dear readers! Thank you for reading and enjoying and supporting these mustangs and this blog. I am thankful for you and your comments (those of you who like posts and comment most every day, especially!). When I started this blog about the Spring Creek Basin mustangs, it was with the wish to share the horses I love with the world, and you all have enabled me to do that, sharing in the joys and accomplishments we’ve made along the way.

I hope you all enjoy all the gifts in your lives and let gratitude be your guide!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Tenaz watches some deer while grazing on a sun-drenched autumn evening.

Usually, I like to see at least one eye of the horse in the pic, even if it doesn’t always work out to get a nice catchlight. But Sundance’s fabulous forelock hides his eyes, even as it makes him look, well, Fabio-fabulous!

Skywalker with the kind, dark eyes and fair face. Just moseying to catch up with his pal on a nippy late-autumn evening.

That eye! A spark of brightness in an otherwise *bright* fall day. 🙂

Temple, so lovely!

In a way similar to how bachelors Skywalker and his pal Sancho defend the band to which they are attached, our nation’s military veterans have served to protect this country and, in many ways, continue their mission of protection. Today is a day to honor our veterans who have sacrificed so much to honor their country with a calling higher than personal ones.

In my family, I honor my dad, my uncle, my cousin, my grandpas (both of whom served overseas during World War II).

To veterans: Thank you *ALL* for your service and sacrifice to these United States of America and her citizens.
