Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

One of Kwana’s brilliant baby blues is illuminated in the last light of an autumn evening in Spring Creek Basin.

We wish he was chasing storms, but alas, though it got cloudy and snowed in places like Telluride, on the east end of San Miguel County, the sky over Disappointment Valley and Spring Creek Basin remained stubbornly moisture-free.

The autumn light is sublime.

Every post – every mustang – could have the title “Pretty”!

Pretty Puzzle is just another one of our very gorgeous Spring Creek Basin mustangs. 🙂

If Tesora were any prettier, we couldn’t handle it. 🙂

Raven is not impressed as Hayden calls to another horse.

Note to studs: Mares rarely seem impressed by the studliness of their studlies. 🙂

Hunters seem to be behaving themselves in Disappointment Valley, which is good news for all of us. One of the BLM law-enforcement rangers was out yesterday, making contacts and driving through Spring Creek Basin. We have so much appreciation for these guys, who never forget our little corner of their very large area (a little more than half a million very broad, geographically challenging acres). Thank you. 🙂

Pretty Alegre observes from a comfortable distance.

Skywalker was doing the walk-on-by, and with another band on a nearby ridge, his attention was focused on them. S’aka – of course – in the background.

In mid-chew, Hollywood realizes his girls might be wandering away.
