Wind! What wind?!

Puzzle; Temple Butte and McKenna Peak

Puzzle, ever the fashionista, rocks the winter wind with her wind-knotted wild mane. 🙂

Seriously, who needs Show Sheen?! Not this marvelous mustang mare!





Going, going …

Tenaz

In yesterday’s blog post, I mentioned that it was windy. It has *been* windy … which is a bit weird in the winter here. We’re used to windy springs, but even the horses get tired of the wind, I think.

Tenaz was just trying to get out of the wind … and the photographer was on the wrong side of the wind break. 🙂





Wind through his mane

Skywalker

Skywalker didn’t let a little breeze get in the way of a nap. He did sway a bit as the wind howled and pushed, but he kept his feet. 🙂

Fuzzy grey girl Temple looks right at home in snowy Spring Creek Basin. 🙂





Wait for me!

Hollywood

Hollywood got ahead of his girls and, while he waited, did a a little modeling for me. Then he decided to take a nap after his hard work of looking handsome, so I left him to it and went back to visit with his girls. He apparently woke up and thought they were leaving without him as they grazed their way up the hill.

Of course, they’d never actually leave him. 🙂 He’s such a hunky model!





Takin’ a turn

Aurora

This pic of Aurora was taken a week or so ago. Then that snow melted. Yesterday, Disappointment Valley got white again!

Because we need it so badly in Southwest Colorado, we hope everyone got a great dose of life-giving snow!





Great-grandlady

Houdini

She’s a mom, grandma and great-grandma. She’s an icon of Spring Creek Basin.

She, of course, is our Houdini. 🙂

A note from Mason & Mason Images: They’re offering free shipping on their 2019 Wild Horses of Spring Creek Basin calendars through February, a savings of $9.95. These feature the gorgeous mustangs of Spring Creek Basin, so if you need a calendar (one is hanging in my house!), check them out. Karen and her husband, Shaun, have dedicated $5 from each calendar to the Colorado chapter of the National Mustang Association. We’re very grateful!





Lookin’ like awesome

Tenaz

Tenaz looks good in snow and (dried) mud.

We’re hanging onto memories of that snow because what we have now is the mud – not so dry. 🙂 All moisture is good – and sooooooooo welcome! – and we DO have snow in the forecast!
