p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Wild Mustangs


I have never tried photographing horses before, but I tried my luck with the wild Mustangs of the Sand Wash Basin in northwest Colorado. The horses have to be pretty tough to live in the harsh terrain of the basin.

The light was pretty harsh, but as always, C&C are welcome and encouraged.

Fantastic set and I love the skies in #5? The scars are pretty incredible too and a testament to their tough lives, none of which the colt/filly demonstrates.

Kevin,

Really like these. I was totally clueless there are wild mustangs in that area. So thanks for educating me and sharing these fantastic images.

Very nice set Kevin....It is difficult to see horses and think of them as anything but domesticated. Seeing them roam wild must evoke emotions and visions of a long lost time when this was the norm and not the exception.

Thanks armd. Yes, those scars really show what they go through.

Thank you Tam. I think the fighting and posturing over the females goes on during most of the spring. They were definitely doing that while I was there at the end of May.

Thank you Greg. I had heard about them in the past, but had never made an effort to go see them. It was an interesting experience.

I agree, I found it hard to think of horses as being wild. Of course all animals were wild at some point in their history. And the behaviors of these horses showed off their wild side. Thanks, Eric.

You did nicely in spite of the tough light. The horse landscape (pic #5?) is my favorite.

Great images. I've photographed in the McCullough and Pryor ranges but never Sand Basin. Is it hard to locate them?

Thank you Don. We only saw about 50 or so of the 500+ that supposedly live there. It is a good sized area to drive around, but many of the ones we saw were near the few water features available, or along the roads near Lookout Mountain. So it isn't too hard to find some, but there are apparently lots more that we didn't find.
