Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Glowing. Reya. Knee deep in autumn forage.

Pretty Piedra contemplates the one admiring her while she swishes some late-season flies during our still-warm autumn days.

Kwana’s mane isn’t as short as Storm’s, but it’s not naturally that short! It looks like someone did a somewhat ragged job of pulling his mane ahead of a domestic show.

Most magnetizing, though, is that stunning blue eye. Both of his eyes are blue. Another natural mystery – and wonder!

Mariah and Winona graze with their band as the shadows lengthen and another day shortens with the onset of autumn.

Unfortunately, that promising sky did no more than add drama to this scene highlighting beautiful Chipeta. She doesn’t like to show off, but we know her elegance.

Lovely Spirit is just the cutest! Can you see in the pattern of her coat that she’s starting to show some fuzziness?

Life is made up of these quiet moments. Add wild horses and a stunning background, and you get that quiet magic that can fill us so fully.

When a mustang has an itch she just can’t reach … she’s happy to find a handy juniper tree in Spring Creek Basin’s north hills. 🙂

Sweet Puzzle-lita in the basin’s back of beyond. She looks summer slick, but the horses are readying for shorter days and colder nights and starting to get a little fuzzy.
