I couldn't hardly believe the last of October would be shirt sleeve weather. The last time we were there, the mustangs were hanging around a pond that hadn't had water in it for three or four years. When we got close enough to see horses, we could tell that half of the herd was missing. I saw a paint colt and figured Gypsy and her family was here. Then I realized they were among the missing.

The whole band was just standing around sunning themselves. Usually they have their heads down, making it difficult to get a decent picture.









This sorrel really stands out as a stately, dynamic piece of horse flesh. He is a little taller than most and with all the chrome looks great. I think he knows he looks good, just the way he carries himself. (Or maybe, it is just the cold nose.)





This old boy was overly trusting. He walked by at about fifteen feet.


In every life,,, there must be a little pain.







In most every fight,, there is usually a cheering section.





 
Has that trusting Black had a halter on? Sure looks like one of our horses, with a rope burn across his nose!! Tremendous picture!!

Wonderful pictures, once again mustang!

Your shots are so clear, you can almost count the hair in the manes of those that are fighting.

Hi Burnt,
Getting "in focus" pictures have been a major challenge. We take a lot of pictures in order to get a very few good ones. On this trip I took 230 pictures and my friend took about the same. I deleted almost fifty when I saw them on the big screen. Those action shots are a real challenge because I don't have time to double check the focus. Part of those 230 pictures were taken of the other half of the band we found down the road about ten miles. We had a really great day, lots of action. I'll try and post some of the others later.

Thanks to everyone for your interest in mustangs.
 
Some horses like that stocking legged sorrel are just 'proud' horses.
They do seem to carry themselves a bit differently. I have known trainers
who occasionally get a young horse that won't take a wrong lead from
the get-go and they say they are such a proud animal that they are careful about those things personal to them.

Another thing, we call those stocking-legged sorrels, "John Wayne horses" as that is the color John Wayne mostly rode. :P

Thanks for the wonderful pictures. I always get a kick out of looking at the other horses while the stallions are fighting. They never seem real 'moved'
by what is going on. :D

I did wonder how that black horse got the halter mark across his nose.
And he's been bitten in the back a bunch, looks like.

I'm always happy to see them in such good body condition.
Did you ever find Gypsy?
