24 07 2016

It may not be the tale she wanted to tell, but Kat Wilder’s latest “Mustang Tales,” written exclusively for American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign, tells a tale that mustang adopters should read.

Chrome

Chrome trots out to head off an interloper. The perceived intruder was pretty far away (to human eyes), but he ended up even farther away before Chrome was done with him. 🙂

Happy birthday to mustang lover, artist and advocate Karen Keene Day!

Pronghorn doe and fawn in Spring Creek Basin.

We all need the same things: Safety for our children, room to live, a little rain and a lot of sunshine. 🙂

We live in a beautiful, beautiful, wild world.

Temple, Temple Butte and McKenna Peak

Temple looks beautiful on a windy, pre-rain evening in Spring Creek Basin with iconic landmarks McKenna Peak and Temple Butte in the background.

We DID get rain later that night! What a blessed relief!

Sunset’s glow warms Aspen as he watches over his mares in Spring Creek Basin.

Comanche

What a mud ball! As dry as it is, it’s good to know the horses are finding mud – along with water. 🙂

Winona

Prettiest Winona in her summer coat with only the faintest dapples shining through … and that funny little looped wind knot in her mane.

As hot and dry as it has been, the basin still has a faint glamour of green across its hills and arroyos. We’re ready for monsoons. Even a dash of moisture will tide us over till those welcome afternoon rains arrive.

Pronghorn buck and does in Spring Creek Basin.

Howdy, handsome! My, what excellent horns you have!

Some of the horses kept looking over a hill, and I thought another band might be there. Nope, just these awesome creatures!

Skywalker

Oh, you handsome devil! Young Skywalker is looking for love. He hasn’t found it yet … but surely soon.

If his tail looks a little funny … that’s a stick. He galloped over to have a dusty discussion with Killian and returned with this giant stick stuck in his tail! Somewhere along the line, he has managed to get it unstuck. 🙂
