Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

So who in the basin is Iya with??

Clue No. 1.

Clue No. 2.

Clue No. 3. Betcha didn’t see that coming. 🙂

Sage, Baylee – Iya – and Hollywood!

And Piedra. Reunited. 🙂

You’d never know Iya was a newcomer; they acted like they’d known each other all their lives. Their dynamics are truly fascinating!

Did Grey/Traveler kick Iya out? She was born into his band as opposed to Two Boots, who was with mama Houdini when he stole them from Seven (remember that??). Did she go looking for her big sister and was intercepted by Hollywood? Did Hollywood steal her? When did she join his band? Before or after he stole Piedra and Sage back from Hook?

Oh, the puzzles these ponies present. 🙂

Piedra has weaned master Sage. For a first-time mother, she had no trouble getting her message across. Moments before this shot, he nosed her flank, and she pinned her ears but didn’t otherwise – that I could discern – give any  message. He definitely understood, though, and this photo just shows baby (almost a yearling!) seeking comfort. Boy, won’t he be surprised when his new baby brother or sister appears!

He is so loved. 🙂 Hollywood had had his head down browsing, and Sage basically walked right into him, causing Hollywood to throw up his head to get out of Sage’s way! In the next frame, he’s resting his chin on Sage’s hip momentarily – initially annoyed … instantly forgiven.

Oh, but who could resist the little love-bug!?

Mister Hook is fine as rain; he’s back with Aspen, trailing Steeldust’s big band.

More pix and info to come as I have time. I haven’t even been able to get through all my pictures yet; my folks are coming to Colorado for a mini ski trip, and some house-cleaning is in order!
