Handsome Storm was looking at another stallion and band with utmost concentration. He’s fully in his prime, and smart (and younger) stallions don’t mess with him! He doesn’t have the biggest band in the basin … but close.

Looks like the mustang fairies missed a couple of spots in Mariah’s mane during their nightly rituals. Maybe they just had a lot of mustangs to attend?! With a passing shower or two (or more), and attending winds, it’s a busy season for keeping mustangs looking their best (which likely could be said for all seasons … and yet, they always look marvelous!).
Mariah and her band were standing on the bank of a small pond, and I’m not sure what had caught her attention. There was another small band grazing some distance behind them, those horses having already been to the pond.

Some mustangs have evolutionarily developed longer ears – the better to hear danger with – but Sundance’s little ears, poking through his thick mane and forelock, are decidedly foxy. One of his many endearing attributes!

To continue the grey theme, pretty Mariah looks curious but not as wind-blown as her name suggests. Her band was in a little cove on the north side of a long hill, and they were quite happily grazing and napping there.

Terra catches sight of her pals in the band she and her stallion travel with, across a little drainage on another ridge. Time to catch up! (Love her still-present winter beard. :))

Tenaz wasn’t nearly as thrilled as Mysterium with his time in the wind-machine glamour-shot spotlight. … But he’s SOOOO handsome – how could I resist?!
