Saturday was a town day. We go into town for supplies (ice mostly), and showers, and gas for the truck. We usually go in in the morning, and spend the rest of the afternoon for photography. We did take time out for weather. Weather at Sand Wash, in particular, thunderstorms, can be quite dangerous the road turn to soup, and roll-overs have been known to occur.

Sunday we had a wonderful time at the Piceance HMA with Kathy, the president of the advocacy group for that HMA. It is larger than Sand Wash, and very rugged. The horses are solid colored, and perfectly lovely. The advocacy group does wonderful things for these horses.

Monday was a highlight of our 2023 Mustang Walkabout. We went to The Wild Horse Refuge approximately thirty miles from Sand Wash Basin. One hundred horses from the Sand Wash Gather will live here on 22,500 acres. It was wonderful to see some old friends. Both Karen McLain Studio and Equus ferus -Wild horse Photography each purchased one acre. Please check them out here
