“And the dust raised by my ponies was smoke from my altar, offered up to God above. …
“My ponies, sleek and dancing, were all a (wo)man would need. …
“You may see me in the dust that shimmers in the half light or hear me in the whisper of the grass so green and tall.”
~ Dave Stamey, “The Vaquero Song”
I love this song, about masters of horsemanship, and also that it honors the horses of those vaqueros.

Pretty Cassidy Rain is “another (beautiful!) bay mustang”! 🙂 Having a decided weakness for bays, I think she’s gorgeous!
Shorty S’aka sneaks a peek from beneath pal Skywalker’s chin. How cute are they?
Really, can you ever have too much Chrome?
The answer: No, no you cannot.
Taken in the absolute last seconds of sunlight on the far western edge of Spring Creek Basin above the rimrocks. Love. 🙂
Comanche chased Bounce away from his band. Bounce kicked at Comanche on the run.
This frame caught him as he seemed to defy gravity. It was enough to throw Comanche off the pursuit, and Bounce escaped hale and whole.
Little S’aka is just the right height for the big boys, including Killian, to give him hugs.
Never did see what Tenaz took an interest in beyond our little opening in the trees.
Don’t you love his eyes?
Bring a badger to the party. 🙂
So I was just hanging with my pal Ty when a branch snapped nearby. He struck a pretty pose, and I focused on him while he focused on the snapper of the branch.
When he lost interest, I looked over my shoulder and saw this fellow/gal sauntering up the hillside across the narrow arroyo. It didn’t give me the same backward glance, so all I caught was its south end.
Badgers are some of the crazy-cool critters sharing space in the wild yonder of Spring Creek Basin.
