My feeling about the recent gather are so hard to explain. The emotions are all over the place. The tears have been many, but I have to hold on to the hope for the future. I truly believe there is change coming and I hope it will be a brighter future for our wild horses. Because without hope, what was the battle for/

Just when I was ready to walk away from my Documentary- Sand Wash Basin A Journey Through Time I received this email!
I am so honored that my documentary has been selected to be viewed at the Equus Film Festive in Midway, KY!
What an amazing journey this has been.
If you haven't had a chance to view my Documentary, I hope you will take a few minutes to view it.
The documentary follows the story of Colorado's wild horses through music, photography, narration, and years of firsthand experience on the range. It explores the beauty of these remarkable animals while also confronting the difficult realities of drought, shrinking resources, multiple-use public lands, and the challenges of managing healthy wild horse populations.
This is not a story about choosing sides. It is about understanding that protecting wild horses begins with protecting the land they call home.
If the land fails, we all lose.

This spring has been very wet with limited days available for trips to Sand Wash Basin, so I have been busy putting my stories to music.
In the last month I have completed The Great American Horse Drive, Sand Wash Sid and Wild Horse Warriors.
Each of these give the viewer a glimpse of the real western life in Northwest Colorado. Each story is told through my eyes with photos I have taken. A couple have some AI creation to give the story the humor or reality that it deserves.
Great American Horse Drive is my story of the domestic horse drive that happens every spring, when a local ranch moves their horses from their winter pasture to the summer pasture.
Sand Wash Sid is a Thank you to Sid for all the times he has rescued me or others in Sand Wash Basin, (and no my husband does not know all the stories behind all the rescues!)
Wild Horse Warriors originated as a poem my husband wrote when Aletha and I were first forming Wild Horse Warriors for Sand Wash Basin. It was shares our wish for the roundups to never have to happen again.
Yes the music is AI and so are the vocals. Yes you may see some flaws in the creations, but the story stays the same.
Hope you will take the time to watch and truly listen then think about all the fun we have had in Sand Wash Basin, the tears that have been shed and the lessons learned and the commitment it takes to be a wild horse advocate.

Coming back to Sand Wash Basin knowing I would not be doing tours this year was hard.
Each of my guests left a special memory and I am grateful to each of you. I have so many wonderful memories of my tours with my guests.
We shared so many laughs and a few tears, but I wanted to leave my tours on a happy note.
This song is to all of you and I hope it will put a smile on your face and bring back some fond memories of our tour in Sand Wash Basin.

After a very dry winter the conditions in Sand Wash Basin are deteriorating from extreme drought to the highest category of drought, exceptional.
We had very little moisture for our spring vegetation growth and with the lack of moisture in the soil it brings an increased risk of fires.
Please be very careful while visiting. Your hot exhaust or under carriage could cause a fire.
May 31st. We have had lots rain in the basin now most of the ponds are full the grasses are growing things are looking good. The one thing that could change everything is a good HOT SUMMER. With no moisture which is what is predicted as of now. This would continue to cause great concerns of wild fires so PLEASE be very carefull while visiting.
Thank you all for your continued support!
