Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

It was still pretty muddy in the area where I took this pic of Maiku, and the horses were moving slowly.

It may make the going harder, but we’ll be glad of that moisture in the ground when the warm temperatures roll around again.

The quieter, calmer, more peaceful side of handsome mustang-with-a-heart, Corazon. 🙂

Handsome Tenaz with one of his young mares, seen over the back of a closer horse that was grazing. On that particular day (before the snow), it was trying to spit rain, and a rainbow, which had been spectacular and long-lasting and that faded and came back at least a couple of times, was stubbornly (!) NOT appearing while I was in the basin in the presence of horses – even though the clouds were opening to the sunshine and closing like a camera’s shutter.

If you look closely, you can see the sprinkles.

I never did get a pic of the rainbow with the horses, but it was a beautiful visit with the band nonetheless.

Could.

You.

BE.

ANY.

More.

LOVELY???????

Darling Winona. You are grace in wild, earthly form.

Hey, you’re not my pony pals!

Mysterium seemed to be ready to head to water during the short visit I had with her, Flash and Gaia the other night. I was mostly focused on the latter two because beyond them was the magnificent view northwest toward Utah’s La Sal Mountains. When I turned to leave, Myst had moved to directly opposite, and the backpack zipper as I started to pack away my camera caught her attention. It’s maybe hard to tell, but she’s looking over her shoulder (and hip) at me.

Caughtcha, beautiful girl!

Corazon’s band has seemingly been traveling with another small band recently (the last week or slightly more). Mostly, they seem very comfortable with each other (a couple of the mares – one in each band – are sisters), but sometimes, somebody wanders uncomfortably close (for the comfort of one or the other of the stallions), and that just has to be corrected!
