Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

It’s really amazing how Mother Nature provides for her creatures in all seasons. The mustangs’ coats are thick and luxurious, and their lips are nimble as they search through the snow for the goodies.

Who’s a good-lookin’ mustang girl?

Mariah’s a good-lookin’ mustang girl!

And maybe surprised that we were able to see her right through her natural camouflage. 🙂

Is it Christmas Eve already?!

Beautiful night to all who value our wild things in their wild places!

Fresh, fluffy, pillowy snow highlights glowing golden buckskin Winon. She’s such a pale shade of buckskin that usually she looks grey from a distance. Against that snow-white snow, though, her lovely coat gleams!

Happy birthday to mustang angel Kat Wilder! 🙂

Tenaz the handsome in his rich, red-bay coat always looks a little startled by the attention he receives. 🙂 No, no, beauty boy – it’s your due!

In outstanding news, after nearly a day of rain (very light), Disappointment Valley (and the surrounding area, I imagine) got SNOW!!!!!!!!! Just in time for Christmas! And to stave off terrible fears of a terribly dry winter.

If I can get into the basin on the snow-covered-over-sloppy-muddy roads – or find ponies via hiking (snowshoeing?!), you’ll see some snowy mustangs in the next installments. 🙂

… Made magic by beautiful mustang Temple. 🙂

The pintos never change their spots, but when the season changes to winter, they stand out in their native colors. How we love them so!
