Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Just knowing they’re there … that’s enough. We work hard to keep them there.

How do you spell a catcall whistle? 🙂

I mean, really! Right?!

Young Kwana is a handsome boy!

A yearling colt from one band was playing with a stallion from another band when Kwana decided that he was being left out of the fun and trotted over to join the game.

Beautiful Piedra, we love you so.

This photo seems so grey … but the day was so vibrant with rain-green grass and sunset light on the far ridges.

Finding Skywalker and his pals over a ridge was a beautiful bonus. 🙂

Ho hum. Just another gorgeous grey hunk of a wild  stallion.

Sundance in the wind.

For whatever reason, I love this image of Ty. Just an everyday motion to rub a fly off his leg or reach for a mouthful of grass, but there’s beauty in all those little movements of the task of living in the wild moment.

Maiku is looking for love.

Advice to a young stallion: When targeting a mare, try not to pick a band that already has a lieutenant stallion.

How do ya’ll like that grass? 🙂

The horses look wet because they ARE wet; they’d been drinking and playing in a recently filled pond. They were headed (away) up a trail when I walked out to check the status of the pond. They stopped and looked back … and then I had to scramble to dump my backpack and fumble my camera out and get it turned on and hope the settings were any kind of decent when they ran down and circled around me.

Well, hello to you beautiful ponies, too!
