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!

Kestrel seems to be pointing the way to McKenna Peak and Temple Butte, foggy with light snow in the background of Spring Creek Basin.
Yes, we see you, beautiful girl. 🙂

This totally cuuuuuute local guy walked by in Spring Creek Basin the other day. I was smitten at first glance, but he kept on a’walkin’. 🙂

We’re gonna need bigger hearts to hold all the love. 🙂

Skywalker has a cut and significant swelling over his right eye.
S’aka has a scrape and slight swelling over his left eye.
Young boys always sport scars and scrapes!

Pretty Piedra keeps an eye on a visitor while said visitor was visiting to check out the snow level (a fair bit) and the mustangs (lookin’ good). The moisture is extremely welcome.

This beauty was just a few miles outside Spring Creek Basin. In the background are the fresh-snow-covered La Sal Mountains.
The magic of beauty and wildness is all around us!

Colorado is white. And cold.
Winter arrived while I was in Texas, celebrating the season of thanksgiving with my family. 🙂
Now ’tis the season of white-stuff moisture, and as we do every winter, we hope Mother Nature smiles on us and provides lots of it.
It’s at the top of my to-do list to get back into Spring Creek Basin and see those gorgeous mustangs. Horses here definitely are fuzzy – especially compared with their Texas cousins. Those winter woolies are necessary as temps here have been in the single digits!
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families and friends. 🙂

Handsome young Killian is relaxed and ready as he watches another nearby band. He’s just a good-lookin’ pony, isn’t he?! 🙂

… but for strands of his mane, waving in the wind.
