Gotcha, mistress. 🙂
She grazed her way over a slight rise, beyond which I was waiting. Chipeta isn’t the easiest pony to capture on film (or digital media), so I’m always happy to get a pic of her doing anything but walking away or with her behind toward me!
Plump, pretty Tesora shows off her belly dapples.
Wait, belly dapples?! What?!
I can’t explain ’em, but there they are. 🙂 Many of the horses are dapply this year with thriving good health.
The world is glorious.
I’m sure you all agree. 🙂
Shadow girl is looking curvaceous and shiny these summer days.
What IS it about Sundance that the light loves?!
Only just about everything, as far as I can tell. 🙂
Hayden – and most of the other mustangs – loves sunflowers. He spent a considerable amount of time going from stalk to stalk, carefully nibbling the flowers of each. The sunflowers are prevalent this year, a boon for the mustangs. 🙂
Now it’s time to “race” back to Spring Creek Basin. Maiku is showing us the way!
I hope you all enjoyed the little glimpse into a beautiful meadow near the top of Green Mountain, Wyoming. ALL our wild horses, in every state, on every range, are worth celebrating. 🙂
One last look from the littlest members of the band. 🙂
What an absolute gift to spend time with these mustangs near the top of Green Mountain in Wyoming! Many, many thanks again to Lynn for map, directions and info. Thank you, thank you for sharing these amazing, wild Wyoming mustangs!
Finally, it was nap time for the whole band, but instead of lying down, they congregated under this gorgeous pine tree on the far edge of the meadow from where they’d been when I first saw them. … Oddly enough, the presence of my Jeep, parked nearby (I was not aware that this was their favorite tree in the whole meadow!), didn’t deter them.
This was my cue to take my leave of these gorgeous wild lovelies in their stunning mountain home.
Almost. 🙂
Sweet babies know they’re safe with Daddy patrolling their nap zone.
And not too much later, Daddy himself laid down for a roll and a quick shut-eye. 🙂
