Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

The world is glorious.

I’m sure you all agree. 🙂

Shadow girl is looking curvaceous and shiny these summer days.

What IS it about Sundance that the light loves?!

Only just about everything, as far as I can tell. 🙂

Hayden – and most of the other mustangs – loves sunflowers. He spent a considerable amount of time going from stalk to stalk, carefully nibbling the flowers of each. The sunflowers are prevalent this year, a boon for the mustangs. 🙂

Now it’s time to “race” back to Spring Creek Basin. Maiku is showing us the way!

I hope you all enjoyed the little glimpse into a beautiful meadow near the top of Green Mountain, Wyoming. ALL our wild horses, in every state, on every range, are worth celebrating. 🙂

Happy FIFTIETH anniversary to my mom and dad, Nancy and Dave!

Fifty years, folks. And they’ve known each other for years before they were married – since they were teenagers, hauling their horses to 4-H shows in Ohio.

The past 50 years have taken them across the country and across the Atlantic with the Army, and like many military spouses, they’ve spent long stretches apart (though, thankfully, fate spared my dad war-time service). Not always, but most of the time, they’ve been able to have horses, which means my brother and I got to grow up with horses, even as we changed schools and friends and moved around the country. I wouldn’t have changed it for anything.

They still have horses – in Texas now – and they still ride, though maybe a bit slower than the speed games they used to compete in (!).

Fifty-year marriages are becoming more rare these days. Both sets of my grandparents were married 50-plus years. Today, my parents hit that milestone. Wow. 🙂

Their love and support have guided me all my life – their love has supported each other and all of our family! – and I am profoundly proud and grateful to be their daughter!

Happy anniversary, Mom and Dad. I love ya’ll!!!!!!!!!

Shiny, shiny, shiny! Could Cassidy Rain be any more gorgeous?!

S’aka grazes the good stuff … which is much more abundant this year. 🙂

Pausing mid-chew, Killian takes notice of a stallion on a hill across a big arroyo, who was whinnying after another band. Threat level assessed, Killian went back to grazing.

I love the way light shines through manes and tails, no matter how tangled and wind-knotted.

Inspiration comes in many forms, and just now, I’m feeling exceptionally inspired by people doing good work for mustangs – and other wildlife – around the planet.

Do an act or more of kindness and love for someone. … Someone you know or someone you don’t! Because love simply must win over the non-love in this world. Why waste a minute on anything else?
