Seneca and Tenaz catch some zzzz’s together on a blustery cold morning. It started raining shortly after this.

Power to the Seven-th

Seven hit the brakes and changed direction when he came up from a little drainage to warn Hayden away and saw me – too!

In honor of veterans
11 11 2013
For your service in honor of country and countrymen (and women), for your sacrifices and in acknowledgement of the sacrifices your loved ones make, for the courage of your willingness to step forward, for your patriotism and valor, for the wounds you carry, for your return … and for those who have not and do not, thank you, American veterans.

Not-yet-amber waves
10 11 2013
Gaia and galleta. Reaping the rewards of September rains.
What weird weather we had this year: Drought and the threat of hay shortages because of drought, then rain and floods and the destruction of the hay that was grown.
In Spring Creek Basin, our mustangs took it all in stride and feasted on the plentiful grasses and waded in knee and hock deep to drink from full ponds. For a beautiful stretch of time, it truly was mustang paradise. Now those grasses ARE amber. The horses are thick-coated and round-bellied. And in the beautiful golden days before winter, they graze like kings in the desert.

Hollywood moon
9 11 2013
Hollywood at moonrise last month. Two consecutive evenings in the basin with the mustangs were amazingly beautiful, made magical with the nearly full moon rising over the far ridges.

Young Hayden with elder Duke. From a recent visit … just me, the horses and about a million hunters.

Through others’ eyes
3 11 2013Friends Pam and Tom and their dogs visited Spring Creek Basin the end of August, and we had a lovely visit with the mustangs. Rain threat cut our day a little short, but as green as it was, none of us could complain! Chrome’s band and others (to be the subject of a future blog post by Pam) gave us simply beautiful visits!
After the drought the first part of the year, I still can’t believe how the rain we finally got made the grasses explode with growth. The horses are reaping the rewards. See if you don’t agree that they look particularly magnificent!
Read the first part of Pam’s account on her blog, nickolesphotography.wordpress.com.
Mark her blog as one to visit often if you haven’t already; she features great photos of gorgeous mustangs from a variety of herds, including those in Colorado!

I am in need of a bit of a break from blogging. Not long, I hope.
