Golden light on a fire-colored boy. The flickers of light all around are little buzzers … like stars in the daylight.

After sunset, it’s quiet. Colors are soft. Mustangs are peacefully grazing.

After sunset, after a beautiful day, we are grateful for all that the day brought us.

He was responding to a captivating call from a lady. Of course!

She’s a wonderful grand dame, full of wisdom to pass on to younger generations – four-legged and two-. 🙂





NMA/CO fundraiser

13 07 2015

The Colorado chapter of the National Mustang Association held a fundraiser Friday night to benefit wild horses in Southwest Colorado. Held at the Sunflower Theatre in Cortez, the event featured a silent auction and the film “Roaming Wild,” after which, people could ask questions about PZP, bait trapping and other wild-horse-and-burro issues.

The place was packed. On behalf of Spring Creek Basin’s mustangs and other wild horses, on behalf of the NMA/CO board, who did an enormous amount of work for this event (in particular, executive director Tif Rodriguez), thank you to all of our wonderful donors and ticket buyers! You made our night a huge success, and you made our work for the horses easier.

NMA/CO executive director Tif Rodriguez and president David Temple welcomed people to the fundraiser event.

People started to fill the theater even before 5:30 p.m. This was a great time to catch up with old friends and make new ones. We are so thankful to everyone who attended to support our mustangs!

Many locals donated items for the silent auction. The donations were excellent, and we thank all the donors for their generosity!

Kathe Hayes was in charge of food and did a fantastic job. She made some and picked some up from local eateries. She didn’t seem to have much to pack up at the end of the night!

Again, thank you so much. Our mustangs thank you! 🙂





Knee high

Has anyone heard the phrase “knee high by the Fourth of July”? To the Ohio farmers in my family tree, that refers to corn.

We’re a little past the Fourth now, but here in Spring Creek Basin, some of the grass is as high as a mustang’s knee. We’re kinda likin’ that a whole bunch. 🙂

Stately boy under a stormy sky.

We have been getting rain! Different areas of Disappointment Valley get different amounts of rain – sometimes wildly different. The horses are in pretty darn good shape for grass and water this year.

R-E-L-I-E-F. And mucho gratitude. 🙂
