Cherry Creek, NV
All my girls: Spring, the rescued mustang filly, Maggie and Mocha. I had gone down to catch some update shots of Spring, and I didn’t see what happened to cause this moment of chaos …

Spring is the orphaned mustang foal we found and rescued near here, last June (2008).
Maggie was found battered and abandoned in rural New Mexico. She is thought to be part Australian Kelpie. A month after coming to Nevada, she gave birth to Mocha (and nine other mixed-breed puppies).
Maggie and Spring belong to my friend, Ray. Mocha lives with me, and has only visited with Spring a few times before. She sees her mother very often.
These two dogs have the natural herding instinct, and it seems that Maggie was going to show Mocha how to herd a horse.
Spring apparently had other ideas.
(The horse and dog interact on a daily basis, and I am certain this encounter was about establishing boundaries, and that none of those involved were in harm’s way.)
