Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Chipeta with the iconic unnamed promontory behind her. Some girls wear braids or dye a lock of hair; Chipeta is following mustang fashion with the twig accessory. She is a trendy girl.

Ty, looking all dapply and handsome.

I don’t think I posted these, taken a few weeks ago. Such a sweet family.

Daddy Ty, like most stallion daddies, is a very good daddy! Seneca likes to hang out with him. I love his stance of casual protection while baby girl grazes right beside him. Mama Chipeta grazes contentedly in the background.

Speaking of late babies, this little girl, born Sept. 23, is doing perfectly well!

She IS a daddy’s girl.

We got some good snow a few days ago, and most of the basin has quite a good cover. Now it’s cold – sometimes bitterly cold – under the crystal-clear sky. But the horses have thick, rich, furry coats, and they’re in excellent shape!

Spent a beautiful evening with these critters:

Daddy Ty, baby Seneca and mama Chipeta. Such a handsome family!

Seneca is looking strong and healthy. The forecast shows snow for Saturday. Keep your fingers crossed; we need the moisture BADLY.

And why not?

Small family. Big love.
