I just couldn’t stay away …. He …. heard me coming – in my rattling old truck – slowly along the dirt road – searching.
He paused … to ….consider …. he …. came closer … so near the road … where I was parked. Waiting.
Again … we danced.

cohost, Corri Grytling-Gutzman
Of this image, Corri wrote: “I want to nominate [The] Haunting
by Arla Ruggles. The photo she took of this wild stallion lives up to its name…it’s haunting. The photo is beautiful on the web and even more so in real life. I purchased her calendar that includes this image, and I love it."

Great Basin Life exists … 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.

i am not at all surprised your hooked with this guy, hes absolutly stunning, god i would give anything to see him for real hehe have fun, i hope he gets used to you, leave some food in this exact spot you were at, and who knows he may get used to you,dawnx
It really is better for him not to become too tame — that makes him more vulnerable to capture. I hope he finds a lady – or several — and goes off into the deep country.
– Arla M. Ruggles
yes you are right, i never thought of that, aww that would be great if he got his own group, wish they were safer there too,dawnx
