Oooh la Terra

Terra

 

A most gorgeous mustang among most gorgeous mustangs – Terra.

Truly, their beauty still makes me catch my breath, and time spent with them makes them only more beautiful and appealing.

Terra

 

Do not be afraid of backlighting. Embrace backlighting. I love the way it highlights the shape of our most gorgeous mustangs.

Piedra and friends

Pretty, pretty Piedra watches while her compadres graze on a beautiful morning in Spring Creek Basin.

Chrome's band

 

A respected personage liked this photo of some of Chrome’s band, seen through the legs of another member of his band. I wish the focus was on the mares’ faces in the background.

It was a gorgeous morning, and the ponies were phenomenal. 🙂

Maia

Another example of a born-black-and-greying mustang – Maia. Her colors match the colors of Spring Creek Basin very well, don’t they?

Houdini

 

Wise Houdini is as important in her role as the elder gentlemen of Spring Creek Basin.

And do you love her mustachio?? 🙂

Gaia

Lovely Gaia has been to the mud spa! Though the ground is mostly dry in most of Spring Creek Basin, the ponds look very good after the snowmelt. And all that hair must be itchy!

The horses are shedding … though slowly yet, despite the warmish temperatures of late. We might have some winter moisture in store. … Maybe?! 🙂





Not all brown

Aspen

It looks like a sea of tans and browns and khakis – and bay! – until you get to the (not all that) far blue mountains – the La Sals of Utah. But the green of spring is pushing up beneath all that brown, and no one welcomes it more than the wildlife.

Alegre

Alegre rocks the wind knots. At various times, she has had a long, long dreadlock. They just add to her elegant beauty.

Raven

 

Pretty Raven with her sweet face. She wasn’t very interested in posing for photos. Green is coming up throughout Spring Creek Basin after our good winter snow and now warmish temperatures, and seeking those fresh blades is much more important to the ponies – and all wildlife!
