Homebodies

22 11 2021

Aiyanna (dun pinto) and Rowan are making themselves very much at home in Spring Creek Basin with their marefriend Dundee and stallion Buckeye. No one would know they’re transplants from one wild country – far north of here – to this wild country.





Just another mesa girl

Clearly, Spirit has been enjoying some mud baths lately. … And no rain – or snow! – to wash her clean again. It’s a dry ol’ November out there, and we’re ready for snow (we’ll take moisture of any kind).





Relief

We are weary but unbroken; third rifle season is over for another year. Thank goodness.





The view is great from here

What did Sundance see when he crossed the arroyo?

A view all the way to Utah!





Mesa girl

Red-gold Gaia-girl in a golden land. Just nappin’ in a little breeze.

The days are warm again, though we have ice on the water troughs in the mornings! Rain would be much appreciated. Snow can’t be far behind. … We hope!





Vision on a ridge

Wild and free in a wild place.





Stepping out

Piedra and Kestrel are nearly synchronized in their steps. Interesting how that happens.





Soaring

What our hearts do in the presence of mustangs.





On a mission

Why did Sundance cross the arroyo?

To graze on the other side, of course!





Well rounded, well fuzzed

Lovely Mariah is ready for whatever winter throws at us this year. It’s supposed to be another bad one for our part of Colorado (“warmer and drier”), but the mustangs will take it in stride. At least our ponds are full!
