We are three weeks out from the Mustang Walkabout 2016. We have six Horse Management Areas in five states planned. Cedar Mountain, Cold Creek, McCullough, Onaqui, Pryor Mountain, and Sand Wash Basin. We have two weeks of travel ahead  (Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, and Nevada) and the Annual Sand Wash Basin Photography Workshop on Wednesday July 27, 2016.

  1. I am not sure if this is the way to contact you, but I would like to join you at Sand Wash Basin on Wednesday, July 27th. My brother and I are driving out from Missouri and plan to be at the basin Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm not a photographer, but I've borrowed a camera and I would love the chance to be with people who have knowledge of the wild horses and the area.
