Smooches from mama

14 09 2012

They’re the best!

Little blue eyes is doing well, but he had a bit of a cough and a bloody nose. Daddy Chrome also had a cough. I don’t very often hear the horses coughing. Will keep an eye on the little mister, but hopefully it’s just a case of a “boy being a boy.”





Sister, brother

Always handsome, this pair.

Skywalker with big sister Mysterium.

This band has been relatively elusive lately; this photo is from late August. I last saw them last week, way up high above the northwest valley toward Klondike Basin. A couple of Forest Service folks – H and W – brought Pinch and Jammer and Traveler (!), and we rode some fence and fixed some fence. It was a great couple of days, and the mustangs are safer because of it!





Our Gaia

Spring Creek Basin’s Gaia …

… with her baby girl, Cassidy Rain. Gorgeous girls in golden light.

Gaia’s little girl sparkles. Really. That’s the word. See if you don’t agree:

Love the ‘tude!

Love this little beauty. 🙂





Mustang art in Ridgway (CO)

11 09 2012

If you’re in Southwest Colorado, consider stopping by the Ridgway library on Saturday to see a show by Ouray/South Carolina artist Karen Keene Day and Ridgway artist Alice Billings.

The top painting, by Karen, features Steeldust. The lower painting features Liberty, adopted by Alice.

The art opening will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday at the library in Ridgway. The art will hanging in the library until Nov. 9. (I’m not sure this side of the card is legible, but I don’t have it in high resolution.)

This local art show featuring the work of local artists of our Spring Creek Basin mustangs aims to raise awareness of our local wild horses. The artistic tribute paid to our horses by these special women is best seen in person. If you’re in the area, stop in and say hello!





He’s touching me

11 09 2012

This photo of Tenaz and Apollo cracks me up:

Tenaz, standing his ground but leaning so far away from Apollo, rubbing away the flies on his pal’s shoulder.

Two of the young misters handsome. Had a great visit with these boys. So silly. So awesome!

Apollo gives Hayden a schnuzzle.

That Apollo. What a lover. 🙂 And who can resist kisses for the boy with the heart on his forehead (who has a birthday coming up soon)?

Three words: Trouble. Times. Three.

And one more word: CUUUUUUUUUUUTE!





Mirror, mirror

Raven and Skywalker.

From a couple of weeks ago now, from a gorgeous evening on a hillside. Mama and her baby boy. Aren’t they divine!





The eyes have it

Gorgeous Maia is a shy girl, but she looks a lot like big brother Whisper.

Isn’t she a little stunner? Simply gorgeous.





Duke

9 09 2012

A week or so ago, Duke was hanging out close to Hollywood’s and Comanche’s bands at the northwest pond while Seven, Kreacher, Bounce and the other boys were hanging out together farther up the valley.

Always handsome, mellow and independent, our Duke.





A visit with the spots

8 09 2012

A quick check on the spots revealed … all normal on the southern front. 🙂

Impending parents Ty and Chipeta.

S’aka and mama Reya. Yes, there’s an extra eye and schnoz in there: Corazon’s.

Puzzle gives Maiku a sisterly schnuzzle.

Ty against the La Sals.

Chipeta against the La Sals.

Handsome pony boy.

Gettin’ closer. I’m pretty sure I recognize the “I’m ready, already!” look. 🙂
