2017, Great Basin Desert in Utah

Once you have stood in the presence of these wild, wise mares of the Great Basin in Utah, something within you shifts. You are not merely an observer — you are claimed by their world. They move with a grace born of survival, power etched into every inch of their bodies. No terrain is too unforgiving, no season too harsh; they are the fiercest daughters of the desert, shaped by wind, the dirt, and endless horizon.
The more time I spend in their company, the more my roots reach into the earth, and the stronger my thirst grows to understand the vast intelligence of the natural world. Mother Nature herself lives in them — a timeless, powerful woman, both tender and unyielding, holding wisdom that can transform those willing to listen.
