Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Awwww. Sundance gives Storm a little smootchie-smootchie.

All’s well that ends well. 🙂

And a whole lotta white! Piedra and Aurora navigate their wonderland, changed overnight to a land of powdery white.

They may not look to the future, but humanly speaking, this moisture is awesome for our days yet to come. 🙂

A smile for your morning mustang musing. 🙂

Hollywood with his mares in fresh snow. Warm colors against a cold background. Thoroughly delicious. 🙂

He’s got it! Young stallion Skywalker struts his stuff enroute to a chat with Apollo.

Weather update: We got a couple to a few inches of snow (depending on elevation and location) in Disappointment Valley! It’s (finally) starting to look a lot like winter out there. 🙂

Heading to water on a beautiful December evening.

Snow is in our forecast after temps in the 50s!

We haven’t been calling Temple Butte Temple Butte very long, but it seems completely natural to do so.

Mustang angel Pati Temple was granted her angel wings almost three years ago, and in a little more than two more years, we’ll be able to apply to the U.S. Geological Survey to ask that Temple Butte be officially named Temple Butte. Officially, it will be in recognition of Pati and the work she did to bring protection and good management to our Spring Creek Basin mustangs. Unofficially and broader, it will recognize the work Pati AND David Temple did to bring protection and good management to our Spring Creek Basin mustangs. David continues Pati’s work as president of the Colorado chapter of the National Mustang Association.

Mustangs and Pati Temple are pretty synonymous in this part of the world. Mustangs and Temple Butte are pretty synonymous in Spring Creek Basin. Mustangs in Spring Creek Basin are pretty awesome.

Gorgeous light on a gorgeous boy. Storm definitely isn’t missing any groceries going into winter (as you can see, winter hasn’t quite gotten to this corner of the world just yet).

Pretty mustang. Pretty mountains. Pretty range. Pretty day.

Just gosh darn pretty.

Pretty darn awesome. 🙂
