Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Corazon and his trusty lieutenant, Maiku, rarely are this close together, let alone posing so nicely.

Stout, handsome pinto boys. 🙂

Gorgeous Winona. Again, are more words needed?

My folks have been visiting this week, and we’ve been taking care of lots of projects, so that’s why I’ve been a little quiet on the blog lately and not very wordy with the posts. 🙂

Handsome Flash …

Sometimes, that seems to be just about all I need to say. 🙂

Tenaz grazes his way down a hillside at sunset on another peaceful evening in Spring Creek Basin. … Nearly silhouetted, he could be anymustang on anyrange in the American West. We cherish the freedom of them all.

It’s in the details: Mz. Madison is sporting a bit of silver in her mane. … It happens to us all. 🙂

Sancho napping on the side of an open drainage, just below the top, sunlit and relaxed and peaceful.

This is Skywalker. … He’s due to foal in about a month.

🙂

Just kidding! He’s a stallion, of course! 🙂

Our ponies are in great shape. We still (always) need rain, but what we got has given a nice little boost to the grasses, and the mustangs are chasing it with gusto.

It’s rare that I’m out in Spring Creek Basin during the middle of the day, but I couldn’t pass up sharing this pic of hunky Tenaz following the band while keeping away his current nemesis, Skywalker. In any light, he’s a handsome boy!

Rowan and Dundee indulged my recent wish of getting a pic of the horses going after the rain-juiced new grass. Some of that is cheat grass, but there was a lot of grama and galleta, which are native warm-season grasses. It’s so nice to see them able to indulge what must be their own wishes of fresh grass!
