S'aka and Skywalker

A couple of days ago, we had temperatures in the 60s. Yesterday, we got snow!

The air temperature was right around the freezing mark, but the stiff west wind made conditions pretty darn chilly. Most of the horses were finding low places, out of that wind. And that made them hard to find by seeking humans. 🙂

S’aka and Skywalker were the only ones I managed to find in all the wide Spring Creek Basin. Well worth braving the snow and wind!





At his leisure

Killian

I’m sure no one minds the recent glut of photos of Killian. 🙂

Hollywood; La Sal Mountains

Hollywood. So glamorous. Sigh.





Being ogled

Comanche

Comanche checks me out as I walked down an arroyo after visiting with another nearby band. He’s still surprised that I come to visit him and ogle his handsomeness!

Killian

Killian was chillin’ in the shade of pinon and juniper trees recently. I asked him why he was hanging out in the shade on a sunny but brisk day. His reply was mysteriously enigmatic.

His expression speaks for itself. 🙂 He’s just that cool!





Dark pretty beauty

Cassidy Rain

Cassidy Rain seems to ponder the beautiful wide world on a lovely day in Spring Creek Basin.





Belly bonanza

Hayden

Hayden may have the best boy belly ever! 🙂

He was watching his band. Some stallions keep their mares moving. Hayden seems usually to be trying to keep up with his on-the-go girls.





A little flare

Seneca; Temple Butte

Seneca tried to catch my scent in the brisk breeze. Apparently there was nothing to worry her; she spent the next half-hour napping while I lounged on a fallen juniper.





Some of what we need

Reya; Brumley Point

We got a little rain and a little snow. We’re very grateful for both.

Our prayers are with California, suffering now under devastating mudslides after the ravaging fires.





Here’s looking at you!

Killian

Handsome Killian beat around the bush (see right) before he got around to giving me a look.
