Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Not quite full, and not yet super … but close … so close!

Oops. I was having so much trouble coming up with a caption and text for this pic of Storm with Knife Edge in the background that apparently, I forgot to finish the post and schedule it to publish.

He’s a looker, our Storm. … And so is his home range. 🙂

Disappointment Valley awoke to snow yesterday morning!

It wasn’t in the forecast. It was sunny Thursday. It was sunny Friday.

Where the heck did the snow come from?

Beggars are not choosers and we most definitely are begging for snow this winter. 🙂

As you can see from the photo above, it wasn’t much, and it didn’t last long (the patches mostly are left over from the previous snow a few days ago). We’re grateful for a tiny bit more moisture!

Not much snow remains from the little bit we got a week or so ago, but the ground is damp still … despite the warm, howling wind that recently blew through.

In sunset light, silver snow becomes the most glorious glow of gold.

Some places got a little more snow than other places. 🙂 Most of our snow is melting fairly quickly … but it’s all good moisture, and we hope it’s soaking way deep down.

A couple of days ago, we had temperatures in the 60s. Yesterday, we got snow!

The air temperature was right around the freezing mark, but the stiff west wind made conditions pretty darn chilly. Most of the horses were finding low places, out of that wind. And that made them hard to find by seeking humans. 🙂

S’aka and Skywalker were the only ones I managed to find in all the wide Spring Creek Basin. Well worth braving the snow and wind!

I’m sure no one minds the recent glut of photos of Killian. 🙂
