How DO those black coats get so shiny and lustrous? Goooooooooood livin’ … and a bit of spring green. 🙂
Beautiful Raven hates to pose. I mean, HATES. She would much prefer to hang out behind her marefriends, or her stallion, or a bush (I’m surprised she didn’t put the greasewood between us). But if you (I) persevere, she’ll give you that dazzling look, and she shows off her rockstar self!
Our wary Shadow-girl, looking very round and shiny and content this very dry spring.
For exactly 1.7 seconds, Corazon looked up from his grazing against the sunset sky … and then he went back to grazing.
If you’re ready, you’re ready. If you’re not, it’s just a memory. … A good one, but harder to share. 🙂
Mr. Aspen is one of our oldest oldsters these days. He’s hanging out with a (much) younger bachelor, and they’re pretty content to wander and graze and stay out of trouble … and mostly far from roads. He also likes to keep his distance from most humans. Because of that, it’s been a while since Aspen has made an appearance on the blog. Too long, I’m sure at least one follower will agree. 😉
The girls (Dundee, Aiyanna and Rowan) were feeling frisky with some cooler temperatures, and Buckeye was having a bit of a frustrating time keeping his young ladies in line. They ran one way, then started coming back around. I thought they were going to disappear below the rim of the hill, but then I realized they were coming up and would line up right past McKenna Peak and Temple Butte! I fumbled with the window control and barely got it down to raise my camera to my eye and try to focus as the girls thundered past.
I’m pretty stoked that the lovelies were in pretty nice focus. 🙂
(Randomly, this pic of our Sand Wash Basin beauties was NOT taken the same day as the pic yesterday. Because of other, more timely pix, I kept pushing the one that ran yesterday back on the schedule. This pic above, I took just a couple of days ago. 🙂 I thought about pushing IT back on the schedule … but really, you can’t go wrong highlighting these young lovelies, even on back-to-back days!)
So beautiful … and very nearly all shed out of their winter cloaks!

An apt description of Maia on the run. 🙂
And far from being “half-grey,” this girl went for the full-immersion experience!
The windy days are kinder to mustang locks than human locks. Or maybe Maiku and the others just rock the windswept look better. 🙂 I’m sure we’ll all be glad for the next rain shower … !
Lovely Alegre and Houdini … so long together. Beautiful best friends – BBFs. 🙂
A closer look at that magnificent braid. 🙂
