A great Friday night to you!!! Here’s one of the new wild babies, that we found yesterday in TRNP! Isn’t she just amazing? Her name is Gunnison, for the Black Canyon of The Gunnison. Here is what the NPS says about this national park: “Big enough to be overwhelming, still intimate enough to feel the […]
“But Dad…..I didn’t mean to!” Ah, being submissive! That is what is happening here in this image. The band stallion is Red Face and he is gathering up his entire band (16 total) which were scattered across an acre of prairie. Another stallion, Satellite, had approached with his band. We later witnessed two skirmishes between […]
“Hidden in the glorious wildness like unmined gold.” ― John Muir Wild Hearts are in this image! The band stallion, Blaze, and his mare, Diamond. It is Tuesday, April 14th.

WILD HEART THROB “You enjoy making my heart stop, don’t you?” ~Julie Kagawa Yesterday was successful AND I did not have to hike all day to find him. Meet the pitter-patter stallion, Blaze! He brought his band out of hiding and made it way too easy. In fact, I was a bit disappointed when I […]
Good Morning from Medora!!! The sun is shining, it rained last night, it is brisk out and I am on going on the hunt for the pitter-patter man, Blaze! It is going to be an interesting hunt because of the moisture yesterday. In this country it turns the ground to a concoction called gumbo. It […]
