Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

These dark beauties are bright spots at the edge of evening shade.

Cassidy Rain is standing in a shallow arroyo that Raven had already crossed.

… just before the sun set and the moon rose.

For a while now, I’ve been trying to get a shot that shows how vivid are Hollywood’s zebra stripes. This still isn’t quite what I’ve envisioned, but it shows off his stripes pretty well!

Lovely Maia paused long enough for a glamour shot with Spring Creek canyon in the background.

Bay beauty girl Madison always looks faaaaaaaaaaaaabulous, dahlings!

Alegre and Maia let loose during a run to the rest of their band, on a hill to the right, already in the evening’s shade.

Those girls do make me laugh. 🙂

By the time I found Cassidy Rain and Raven and their band one recent evening, the sun had almost retreated below the top of the mesa behind them. There was just enough illumination to touch them with the softest fingers of light before it was gone again.

Kwana gallops back to his girls after a brief jog up a nearby hill to get more than a tantalizing glimpse of a mare, seemingly alone. But she wasn’t alone, and her stallion – Kwana’s little brother – told big bro (rather politely, I thought) ohnonono.

Whinnying as he hurtled toward them, just before he reached his closest mare, Kwana pulled off a slide through the shadscale that any Quarter Horse trainer would have envied. His mares were less impressed. 🙂

Not much is bothering Tenaz. A couple of bachelors are being respectful, and they’re more company than threat (most of the time).
