Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

After a bit of a technological delay, we’re back (I hope).

Buckeye and his girls were sheltering from the wind (’tis spring wind season) on the far side of Filly Peak when another little band waltzed (the wind does have a musical quality, sometimes) across the top of the ridge. We hoofed it to the top (two legs are slower than four and I was doing more huffing (and puffing) than hoofing …), but it turned out that it was a bit small for the stallions’ liking, which sent the mares running for the hill.

The bands ended up lower and on opposite sides of the ridge, no harm done. And I was left to enjoy the view from another high spot in Spring Creek Basin.

Gorgeous grey Alegre naps in the wind the day before the rain came. I hope she found even more mud. 🙂

Pretty, wise Mysterium surely looks forward to spring, even with snow lingering in the background.

Slowly but surely, bits of green are starting to appear. Soon enough, there’ll be no snow, coats will be slick, water will be scarce and temps will be rising beyond comfortable. Temps already are approaching 70s, which, right now, feel pretty darn good.

Mustang girls like their bling, too. 🙂

Only a stallion supremely confident naps while his mare keeps her sleepy eyes on the “intruder.”

Buckeye is one supremely confident guy. 🙂 (Do you love his white eyelashes?!)

It’s not real obvious here, but Sundance has the cutest mustachio in Spring Creek Basin. 🙂

We all talk about our “good sides,” but really, does Sundance have a *bad* side?!

And one very pretty *angel*. 🙂
