Joker on the Flats. On my last visit with the Onaqui, I had the joy of spending a couple of mornings alone with this guy. Just two old guys doing their own thing, lol. It was glorious!

It was a baseball Sunday! First, my phone reminded me of my fun times in Little League baseball with the Beaverhead Livestock Giants. Second, I was able to see the Billings Mustangs host the Ogden Raptors and have yummy food (thank you, Q2!). Next, I had two foul balls hit my way and got the second one. Then, to top it off, Billings beat Ogden 11-4! ⚾⚾

Strength, courage, freedom, resilience, peace...
Wild horses represent all these things to me. I love when they let me share their space. Sitting on a hillside, watching them graze and play and rest, and occasionally having one walk past me as if I belong there too. Hello Maverick.

A south Onaqui stallion Apple, begins his trek back into the desert after an afternoon visit to the waterhole. His son and travel buddy, Ranger, was still enjoying one last drink, but he won't let the old man get too far ahead, lol.

Copper's Band! Lead stallion Copper is the sorrel peeking out from behind the three on the left. Yes, there are 4 horses in that group. Look at the ears! Copper was one of the few stallions who successfully kept his band away from the helicopters and the trap during the 2021 roundup!

My favorite wild stallion duo, Apple and Ranger! This father and son team are traditionally south Onaqui guys, but they roam far and wide on their search for available mares, even spotted on the fringe of the north herd last year.

As most of the herd still lingers around the sheep trough, Moondrinker begins to push his family down the hill to begin their march back into the desert. Led by the beautiful Ares, and flanked by the young colt, Genesis, with Moondog, Ivory, and Opal in the middle.

A wild stallion in Utah's Onaqui mountains, stands watch. The south herd is tucked in a mountain valley, and he positioned on high ground so he can survey the desert below.

to my first visit with the Onaqui. This band stallion had just driven a challenger a couple of hundred yards off into the desert and was triumphantly returning to his family. Free Like the Wind!

The Sounds and Colors of Freedom! Thundering hooves, flying dust, and multi-color horses, as some of the north Onaqui herd pick up speed as they near the waterhole. I wish I could share that feeling, but photos will have to do for now.

All the Glory! Led by a sooty palomino known as Glory, a group of bachelors follow the main south Onaqui herd towards the waterhole. Usually there is one more with this group, but he was elsewhere on this run.

Brick House! Caramel is not a tall guy but he is stout! And fearless. I once watched him fight for three days to win a young mare and her friend. He was relentless against a larger and older stallion. He won, but unfortunately lost them back a few months later.

Afternoon Parade! The south Onaqui herd stretched out over a quarter of a mile as they marched towards the waterhole in the afternoon. This is just the lead group, with young Sully and Ace in the middle. The rest follow behind in small groups. Such an awesome scene to witness!

to the dunes on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The wild horses here descended from Spanish Mustangs and have survived on these coastal islands for over 500 years. Their lines have remained pure due to the isolation.
