Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Mostly, Kestrel is loooooowwwwwww key. Nothing much gets her energy up. So when she strikes a trot, it’s beautiful to see!

Sweet Spirit is a tiny little mare with BIG spirit. She doesn’t often find herself in the spotlight compared with some of her flashier friends, but this girl has always had my heart. 🙂

Temple, at her glowing very best!

There’s no snow in the background because it hadn’t yet snowed when I took this pic a bit more than a week ago now. I had scheduled it to post … then snow happened! So I put it off for a while … and was going to relegate it to my drafts file, from which, I knew, it would never see the light of day because I would eventually forget about it. So for better or worse, here’s an “old” pic of Temple, glowing with accentuated loveliness, because … well, because she’s beautiful. 🙂

Hollywood walks through the snowy basin, following his mares, just as the sun found an opening between a single cloud in the otherwise clear sky and the far ridges along the southwestern edge of Disappointment Valley.

Rowan, Aiyanna, Dundee and Buckeye were enthralled by the sight of four pronghorn bucks running through the snow below their hill.

I was enthralled by these mustang beauties. 🙂

“Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes” … and in my mane and forelock …

Maiku didn’t seem to mind the snow falling in dazzling great flakes … but none of the ponies were very happy with the biting graupel the wind sent peppering us this second day of snow!
