Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

If you’re local to Dolores, Colorado, please put the above event on your calendar!

Throughout the month of April, the Dolores Public Library will show several of the big photo canvases from last year’s special exhibit at Canyons of the Ancients Visitor Center and Museum.

I’ll be there from 4 to 6 p.m. Friday, April 8, to talk about the mustangs of Spring Creek Basin, so come say hi and/or introduce yourself!

**********

It turns out that April is a big month for presentations about Spring Creek Basin’s mustangs:

Four Corners Back Country Horsemen will host author and advocate Kathryn Wilder and I from about 6 to 7 p.m. Thursday, April 21, at their meeting at the Florida Grange Hall. Kat will read from her memoir “Desert Chrome,” and I’ll run a slideshow and talk about the mustangs.

From 6 to 7 p.m. Friday, April 22, Spring Creek Basin herd manager Mike Jensen and I will offer a presentation about the mustangs. We’ll talk about our management strategies, including PZP, water projects, range monitoring and main points of our recently updated (2020) herd management area plan. This presentation is part of the Four Corners Lecture Series (find them on Facebook).

Finally, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 30, at Canyons of the Ancients Visitor Center and Museum, come and meet the mustangs! Our event last fall with Spring Creek Basin mustangs Whisper and Skipper was such a favorite with visitors, CANM folks invited us back to share these excellent boys with the public. Kathryn Wilder will do a reading from “Desert Chrome,” speaking along with a slideshow of my images of the mustangs, and locals Tif Rodriguez and Keith Bean will be with their boys to talk about their adoption experiences through BLM. Whisper and Skipper would love to see you. 🙂
