These mustangs live on 160,000 acres of public land in NW Colorado. The world is closing in on them. All photos and words by Nancy Roberts.

Picasso's Band
The Icon of SWB....Picasso. He really is a work of art!
Mingo should have her foal any day now...I have been saying this for about a month! Can't wait....last year she lost her foal. We think it was a lethal white, but before that she had two healthy ones...Tango and Mango. This could be the last Picasso foal. he was aged at about 20 at the 2008 gather, although these are just guesses.
Monet
Picasso pushes his two mares toward the water hole.Tthese wild horses go back and forth, traveling great distances to get a drink. Picasso travels slowly as his mustang mare, Mingo, is very pregnant and his domestic is lame. Picasso himself looks wonderful!
Monet's Sombrero brand. She has been in here since 2010 and it is starting to show. Her left front foot is crooked and is now making her lame. She does not look happy. SWB is no place for a domestic mare. We now have 5 with the addition of the 3 Sombrero mares who are with Thunder. The 5th is Demi, the pinto with Haze.
I plan to visit and observe The Sand Wash Basin Wild Horses hopefully in August. I've saw you photos on the facebook page. Amazing photography. My friend, Tina, takes photos too. I think I saw a picture that was of "Gypsy"? Goregous!!! That face has become the face I will travel across the US to find. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and photography. These horses speak to me on a level I don't even understand yet. I think we share the same type of free spirit.
