April 2017 trip Time: About 28 minutes.
This trip "Extremes" we experienced - from extreme weather to extreme emotions, we felt it all out there. It is safe for all viewers. If you like roaming those mustang trails with me, I hope you subscribe for free and click on the bell next to that beautiful red button for future videos I share- thank you!
This one goes down in the books as the Trip of Extremes.
From new foals to loss, we saw it all. Even the weather had it's wild unpredictable moments being spring on the high desert. Parts of the HMA are closed off due to Sagegrouse clear into mid May, and so we spent more time hiking to areas- miles and miles... and uphill both ways it seemed 😉 .
The weather was rather fickle- trying not to trip over lava rock, hoofing it up hill while less than gracefully removing layers as the sun beat down- no time to waste when we have miles to cover. But as extremes have it, as soon as I shed the layers, the cold wind began to blow, blowing in a large storm cell right overhead, and started hailing.

Disclaimer: I am not a videographer, just toggled on my camera between vids and stills, so not a steady video- no tripod, on coffee, and excited, with sudden bursts remembering to get video.
And if you have kids, Grandkids, or the GreatGrands, sit them with you and tell them- Yes, we do still have wild horses running on spacious lands out west belonging to the public - and that these icons and symbols for freedom are also their heritage, and they in turn, are the mustang's future guardians.
Keeping the west WILD!
