Babies Temple and Madison with Madi’s sister Juniper.
It’s fun to watch the babies become independent little selves. Juni is a good big sister, always looking out for baby Madi.
Healthy, beautiful girls!
Three girls, two sisters

Temple
13 07 2012In honor of a very special lady who needs some prayers and positive energy right now …
Temple
Temple was named for Pati and David Temple, long-time NMA/CO board members, supporters of Spring Creek Basin and all mustangs, and simply wonderful people who contribute so much love and support to their family and friends.
Pati is battling some very serious health issues, and for this strong, determined woman full of grit and grace, I would ask you all to keep her in your thoughts.

Piedra & Temple
30 06 2012Just a pic I liked … Temple nursing after mama Piedra drank from a seep in Spring Creek Canyon.
I think it’s pretty obvious by now that Temple will NOT be grulla. Seems she’s taking after mama and will turn grey. 🙂

A little different
12 06 2012
Have you ever seen a black and white image on this blog? I can’t say that I’ve ever posted one! I’m not one who sees in black and white, and I had a visitor – artist Karen Keene Day – who sees in the most vibrant colors imaginable. So maybe it’s a little odd, this black-and-white image, eh?
But I like it. And I hope you do, too.
Baby Temple and Miss Shane.
I love them, and I hope you do, too!

Update on an update
8 06 2012Before I could post the update about Hollywood’s band …
…
I already have another update:
Who’s that extra girl?
The original update was that Hollywood stole Mona, Roja and Killian from Aspen. The updated update is that Kreacher has stolen Roja and Killian from Hollywood. I didn’t see the horses themselves, but I saw images of them on the LCD of a camera owned by someone who DID see them!

Rising

New life. New promise.
The wild ones are great reminders to live in the moment. Life is too short to wonder about “what ifs” and worry about what you coulda, woulda, shoulda done.
“It is neither wealth nor splendor but tranquility and occupation which give happiness.” ~ Thomas Jefferson
Sometimes we find splendor in the most tranquil situations. That is encouraging.

Miss Temple
4 05 2012Pati and David Temple are long-time friends, supporters and warriors for Spring Creek’s Basin mustangs. They have served on the National Mustang Association/Colorado’s board almost since its formation in 1998. Pati, in particular, is a walking historical encyclopedia of Spring Creek Basin’s mustang herd and past management. Their hard work and dedication often flies under the radar because they’d rather DO than be recognized for all they do and have done.
During Pati and David’s involvement with NMA/CO, major accomplishments have been made for the herd: fence building, repair and maintenance; buying and retirement of cattle AUMs – and reducing the remaining AUMs and changing the season during which cattle are permitted to graze in the basin; construction of the invaluable water catchment; calling for the use of fertility control as a management tool since the early 2000s; tamarisk cutting and spraying in riparian areas; observation and suggestions to BLM during previous roundups. And plenty of “minor” projects that all benefit the horses.
How do you really thank such folks who, for nearly 15 years, have led the charge to protect these amazing Colorado high-desert mustangs?
Pati came West right after high school with her best friend. This feisty little girl takes after her! She’s always on the move, getting things done, the strongest woman I know.
David is our rock of support. His patient, thoughtful approach balances the “strong personalities” of the ladies in our groups!
Miss Temple is named in honor of these mustang angels we love and value so much.
