Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Spring Creek Basin’s elevation – and lack of rainfall – is too low to support Colorado’s iconic aspen trees, but we find gold in other places. 🙂 Gorgeous Gaia is one of our golden girls!

Sweet Mariah. Just another pretty girl who calls Spring Creek Basin home. 🙂

Lovely Winona at the end ‘o the day before the super moon wowed us all.

Hollywood looks on, unconcerned, as Sundance creates a dust storm nearby. Love his regal expression!

The “super moon” – already in the first phase of its lunar eclipse – rises over Spring Creek Basin’s Sundance.

Hollywood and Shane under the lunar eclipse.

By this time, it was pretty dark, but the eclipse was just getting started.

What a gorgeous night to watch the lunar eclipse over Spring Creek Basin with the wild ones! Many thanks to Kat and Ginger, who shared it with us!

Handsome, really. Corazon was reaching for a fly … love the *look* he gave in the middle!

Maybe not “super” yet, but gorgeous all the same. Juniper and Gaia look all kinds of beautiful under the swelling moon, rising over Spring Creek Basin. And yes, it was an all-kinds-of-beautiful evening with the wild ponies. 🙂

Seven and Puzzle – what a handsome couple they make. 🙂

Because only a girl could get a look like that from a guy like that.

On a sadder note, our hearts break for the West Douglas mustangs that have lost their freedom … and in a few cases, their lives.
