Photographer’s Note:

My favorite time to photograph Wild Mustangs is in the dead of winter. I prefer to go alone, allowing me to immerse myself fully in the experience—connecting with the Mustangs, my thoughts, and my camera. In all my years of winter outings, I’ve never encountered another photographer, making each trip uniquely personal.

I spend countless hours in my four-wheel drive, navigating through deep snow, in search of these majestic animals. My hope is always to add beautiful light and an interesting composition to the scene. It’s surreal to drive through low clouds at “Lookout Pass,” only to be swallowed by dense fog as I descend into the desert basin.

I trust that you will find my winter scenes extraordinary, showcasing the Mustangs at their most resilient—enduring the harshest conditions Mother Nature can throw at them.

If you feel moved, please consider donating to a Wild Horse charitable organization of your choosing to help protect these magnificent creatures, which are such a vital part of our American fabric and heritage.
