His kingdom

Soooooooo handsome!
You knew that after a beautiful mare, I had to highlight a super stallion. 🙂 I might be (OK, I totally am) biased, but I think the world of Buckeye.

Filling space

Soooooooo pretty.
I know, I can (and do) say that about almost all (OK, all) the mares in Spring Creek Basin. But – really! – am I wrong?? 🙂
This is Mariah the gorgeous. If you look closely, you can see that it was misting (really can’t call it sprinkling, even) at the time, even with the sun shining (not unusual).

Unsettled
2 04 2024The sky – and rain/snow falling – was the star of the show yesterday afternoon.
One band was just leaving the water trough at the basin’s main/original water catchment, followed by another band. The aprons are visible at right (looks like a tennis court – those are the aprons that catch rain/snow). They deliver water via underground pipe to the big, green tank (slightly right of center). It doesn’t look that big from this distance, but it can hold 12,000 gallons. The dark “spot” in just about the center is a couple of horses drinking at the trough.
This very wide view from Chrome’s Point in the far western part of the basin encompasses the northeastern (far left), eastern and southeastern views of Spring Creek Basin. (The first two pix are within this wide view.)
Too bad that downpour wasn’t over the basin!
Over us or not, it was a pretty glorious view!

Crossing water
31 03 2024
Piedra follows a band mate across runoff from an arroyo seep where she and her band and another band drank before heading up to graze on a little bench above the arroyo.
We should have rain by the time you read this post this morning!
Happy Easter. 🙂

Still wooly. Still snow out there in the high(er) places. Rowan and Dundee are ready for spring. 🙂

Snow a’light
28 03 2024
Sunshine through snow at a distance results in those soft colors we love that complement the mustangs – sleepy Seneca in this case – so well. Cozy coats still make for comfortable napping in such weather.
Our weather is still a bit unsettled the rest of this week before we have some rain in the forecast in a few days. If we could get rain once or twice a week, it would go a long way toward making ours a green spring!
