Madison and Temple

Madison and Temple.

Madison and Temple

These girls grew up together, then separated for a while … and now are together again.

Mares and mamas – the heart of the home (on the range). 🙂





Springtime in Spring Creek Basin

12 05 2016

S'aka

 

Did we mention that the gnats are out?

They’re out.





The wild sees all

Copper

 

Wild boy Copper isn’t fooled by camo tree branches.

To be clear, I wasn’t sneaking up on the boy; they just happened to be between us, and he just happened to stop nearly precisely at the V in the tree trunk. I moved to get both eyes in the frame and snapped his pic!

Chrome, Brumley Point

 

Chrome walks past one of Spring Creek Basin’s prominent landmarks: Brumley Point. It looks a little bit different from most other vantage points, which is how it’s most often seen.

We did get some rain, and it’s looking lovely and green out there. 🙂





Magic

Storm's band

Without mustangs, it would be just another pretty landscape. But WITH mustangs there, it’s a landscape imbued with magic. And we don’t always need to see them to know they’re there and feel their good vibes in our hearts.





Happy Mother’s Day!

Shadow and her filly

 

Our mothers are the first to love us, before we’re even born. They nurture us and protect us and support and guide us.

I’m fortunate to know a lot of good mothers – and lots of them have just two legs! 🙂 So thanks also to my friends for being wonderful friends and excellent mothers!

Thanks to my own mother for being awesome. Among other things, she (and my dad) passed on their love of horses, and for that – and for so many other things – I can’t thank her (them) enough.





Storm comin’

7 05 2016

Piedra

We didn’t get more than a few spits out of that dark sky, if you can believe it. In fact, we didn’t get a good rain for three days after this day. But then we got a really nice rain. 🙂

 





Grey genes

Comanche

Comanche. He looks so much like Grey/Traveler now that from a distance he almost fools even me. 🙂





Foxy critter

Fox in Spring Creek Basin

 

We interrupt the usual mustang programming to bring you this image of a gorgeous fox in Spring Creek Basin!





Red-haired girl

4 05 2016

Tesora, McKenna Peak

 

It wasn’t the gnats that had Tesora in a seeming funk – too cold and windy. Maybe she was self-conscious about her beard (probably not). 🙂 She, like all the horses, are shedding quickly.

Although we didn’t get as much rain as anticipated, we did get temps – daytime temps – in the 30s (and yes, some big, heavy flakes of snow that added to our ground moisture). But now Colorado weather predictors are marching us toward 80-degree temps.

So April did, indeed, end with lovely showers; now we hope May brings flowers – and lots of grass!
