There’s such a calm that seems to come over the boys when a baby arrives. They seem to “settle.” I can’t really explain it.
Young mama has the hang of it. She looks pretty great, doesn’t she?
Another gorgeous mama – doesn’t she just epitomize “wild and beautiful”? Jif and Cuatro.
Hayden makes mama stop so he can nurse.
Followed by a nap in the sunshine and breeze. (It was a pretty hefty wind, actually, but he looks like such a peaceful babe, asleep, all right with the world, eh?) He’s shedding … slowly but surely.
Baby going down …
Baby coming up! This cracks me up because he’s getting up butt first. š This demonstrates his keen intelligence – not waiting for big brother to get close enough to pull a big-brother prank!
Mama Two Boots and her boys. She also was already in heat.
Cuatro napping …
Rio napping …
Being a daddy – even a stepdaddy – is hard work. Chrome napping. š
Hayden still sleeping while Chrome starts to follow the others.
Such a stretch!
All in the family.
The end. š

Oh, my beautiful boy Chrome. I never, ever get tired of lookin at him. I simply cannot believe how amazing these horses are. Chrome and his band – that includes little Rio – are my favorite for one reason: they are breathtaking, speaking to you with their eyes. All of them have something special. I don’t know what it is, but there’s something.
One of my favorite families, too. š
