Bay Stallion and Mule from Painters Flat

The coolest thing ever, when we got home Saturday night I found the following email in my inbox! It is from Linda Hay and she has been watching and photographing the wild horses at Twin Peaks for the last 30 years with her family. I am so honored she chose to share some of her pictures with us.

"Hello..I met you today...(wildhorse roundup) and I have looking at your blog..you have done a wonderful job...I laughed when I saw your pictures of the mule and the stallion....I bet this is the same guys.  We found them winter of 09...at the southwestern part of Painters Flat...I am so sure this is the same group...

I enjoyed visiting with you.

Take care...Linda"

"He was so curious at first...the mares stayed up on the ridge, and he and his little side kick came down to check me out.."

I also believe these are the same horses and mule we photographed, I recognize the big Sorrel Mare with the large blaze too.
The following are more photos of them we took on August 1st, 2010.
