One of the first pictures I took of Molly – that’s Kreacher in the background – and still one of my favorites of her.
It’s an assumption … but it’s based on this:
Liberty is with Bounce’s family now …
Molly was a wise old girl who lived her considerable long life in Spring Creek Basin. She was rounded up in 2007 but had the fortune of being released back to the wild. She was aged by the contractor then at “older than 20,” and although the contractor wasn’t terribly accurate with his aging skills, I’d believe it of her.
She didn’t have much use for humans – for good reason, I’d say – but she was a kind and gentle mother, and she gave her last foal, Liberty, an excellent chance of survival.
Rest peacefully, Molly-girl, in your heaven.

Ah Molly – but at least she had a long, free life. It’s still hard to lose them though.
She did, and I’m incredibly thankful for that!

We kinda knew she wasn’t going to go on much longer when we last saw her. Better to die there “at home” – still, it hurts. She’ll always be remembered..
Thanks for the post and pics.

Poor TJ. I know how hard it is to lose one of the wild ones. But as everyone has said, at least she lived and died free. Rest in peace Molly.
Molly has not left the Basin. Her spirit and her family remain there, always. Mar
Indeed. I still feel Bones out there, especially when I’m in the area of her valley, and I think about the others sometimes, randomly; they’ll just pop into my head when I’m out hiking or sitting watching a band of horses. It’s a great comfort. 🙂
