Wild Horses of Sand Wash Basin

The Sand Wash Basin, located in a 166,000 acre parcel of public land to the north-west of Colorado, is home to a diverse collection of wildlife that includes sage grouse, bald eagles, foxes, coyotes, mountain lions, bobcats, black bears, elk, and mule deer, but this Facebook group features one of its most majestic species - wild horses. With their distinct color patterns, many of these equines are familiar characters to the wildlife photographers and fans who document their life stories and gift them with noble names such as Divine, Sprite, Lola, Brayley, Fireball, Astro, Picasso, Cairo, Sky King, Starshine, Spirit Dancer and Midnight Blue. There is something compelling about their beauty and their grace. Their stories provide fascinating nuance. It is obvious that their images are shared with deep love and authenticity.

The mustang is an iconic image of the Wild West. The mere image of a herd of wild mustangs galloping across the arid areas of Nevada evokes a powerful image of freedom. Descended from previously domesticated horses, these are the around 50,000 feral horses live on a series of Western and Mid-Western herd areas managed by the Bureau of Land Management. To prevent over-grazing, groups of these horses are periodically captured in round-ups and offered for adoption. While they make resilient, honest horse, these mustangs need patience and specialized training to adapt to an environment radically different from their former lives. For anyone willing to invest time and effort into taming one of these unique equine beauties, the BLM Mustang Hub offers a platform to share their stories, challenges and little victories. Admire their unique coat colors and learn how they came to connect with their owners. Ask others for tips and advice on how to get started. Or simply share your favorites among the horses still waiting for good homes.
