Comanche is handsome in any light, of course, but this light is a highlight in oh so many ways.

This brings to mind the insane people who would cause a horse pain in order to achieve maximum action – all in pursuit of a bit of ribbon. Here, Corazon shows off his high-steppin’ ability – naturally. The crazy thing is that Saddlebreds and Tennessee Walking Horses have that natural ability. It’s only humans who would overly and unnaturally exaggerate it.

Here’s another hunky young(ish) stallion in Spring Creek Basin: Sundance.
The weather has been windy, and the wind makes it dry – drier, even, than normal – which is dry (!). Thankfully, we have rain in the forecast, and if the wind pushes the rain to us, well, we’ll take it!

Oh, lovely Alegre, how we do love the wind in your hair.

Maiku was just grazing along … and at just the right moment, he raised his head long enough for a perfect pic of Spring Creek Basin with the La Sal Mountains in the background.
The day was perfect, and, as the saying goes, life is good!

Shadow may be as wide as she is tall.

Here’s another, closer look at Hollywood’s most excellent leg stripes.
This fantastic stallion represents introduced blood/genetics – his mother came to us from Sand Wash Basin. We’re pretty happy to have him. 🙂

Hayden and Cassidy Rain take an early evening nap in the wind and sunshine. That’s Brumley Point in the distance.

Blame it on the wind that blew Juni right into Myst’s super exciting (as you can see) photo shoot.
But I love the way they frame the bottom of a heart around two of Spring Creek Basin’s most beloved landmarks: McKenna Peak and Temple Butte. (That’s salt coming through the soil on McKenna Peak’s eroded flanks; that’s lingering snow higher in the P-J woods of Temple Butte’s ridgeline.)

Can there be a hunkier stallion? Of course – in wild herds all across the West! But he’s one of Spring Creek Basin’s hunks, and we love him. 🙂
