A herd of beautiful blue-eyed registered Paint horses charge at full speed
through knee-deep freshly fallen powder. "PAINTS IN THE POWDER ” was
photographed outside Meeker, Colorado on the White River Ranch
(Also known as the Prather-Nelson Ranch), and a great trout fishing stream too!

Unknown to Doug when he went to photograph at this ranch and came back with this
powerful image, the Prather's of Colorado that settled the ranch in the 1930's were distant
relatives to Doug. Both Prather families were part of the westward migration, tracing back
their roots to the original colonial Prathers of Maryland (c. 1622).
