Mustang Trail by

Northern Steptoe Valley – Eastern Nevada – USA
(2008.NOV.17)

As the sun settles over the western mountains, mustangs leave their foothill grazing to seek water on the valley floor.

Wild horses observe a distinct matiriarchal social order; all members of the herd follow the lead mare.

About Arla M. Ruggles

Great Basin Life exists on the fringes … between … high desert expanses and majestic mountain wilderness.
Daily, I watch the winds of change sweeping away what remains of our western culture and heritage, and the land that has produced them.

My mission is to preserve as much as I can, of that which will soon vanish, through my photography.
