Updates, thoughts & 2025 calendars
That first picture I took while sitting in the round pen and writing down some thoughts and enjoying the golden late autumn afternoon light. Doc, with nothing better to do since he was waiting on a woman, glanced over his shoulder and looked his most handsome, slightly winter-fuzzy dappled palomino pinto Mustang self. Watch for …

Halloween, kids & Mustangs
Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy Ambassador Mustangs Lacy (Piglet) and Tiny (Tigger) made their parade debut yesterday at our tiny local school’s Halloween parade.

Not too scared
These eyes, ears and feet have covered some incredible country this year. After we thought that we might never experience another sunset on a mountain again. Now I’m collecting sunsets and spending as much time outside as possible, sometimes sleeping outside even at home, just so I can see the stars. I got Covid for …

I recently went on a lovely ride with a friend whom I hadn’t ridden with in way too long. She was taking me to a lake I hadn’t visited before. I’m always grateful when people share their favorite places with me. We got to the lake and sat down for lunch after letting the horses …

Looking for his person: Nash
If I had a dollar for every time someone has contacted me, saying “I want Nash”… Don’t get me wrong, Nash is super cool. He’s also taken a long time to let his guard down and he’s not for everyone. The hard facts: He’s a grey 4yo (5 next spring) Antelope Hills WY Mustang gelding. …

No more quarters
There’s something special about young people and Mustangs. They’re not just our future, they’re who we hope will treasure, protect and enjoy wild horses, on and off the range, when we are long gone. This kiddo has been helping us with chores for a few months. She’s tough and gritty and wasn’t at all horsey …
