The pinto gang was my last sighting of the visit – right off the Disappointment Road. Although the solids almost equal the spots now, I’ve always thought of this as “the pinto band” because, although Copper seems to be at the top of the hierarchy, there are three other stallions mingling and following. Truth be told, it’s really Kiowa’s band – girls rule! This girl certainly does.
Mama Kiowa and Milagro. She’s looking right “on (new) schedule” to foal the end of this month or early July. (It’s her new schedule since she – apparently – got just enough PZP-22 to delay her last pregnancy two months but not prevent it altogether.)
Milagro is still very fuzzy. I have noticed that the youngsters are always the last to shed out, but goodness. The little boy still looks like a fuzzy teddy bear! It was pretty warm in the basin – into the 80s both days. Mid-50s at sunrise – that’s crazy warm for us!
Band stallion Copper with 3-year-old Reya and 2-year-old Spook (Kiowa’s daughters). Reya looks as slim and girlish as 3-year-old Baylee – I don’t think either of them are pregnant.
Chipeta, also on her “new schedule” looking pregnant. She foaled the end of July last year.
And the hangers-on:
Corazon, with his “tell-tale heart.”
Ty, very most definitely going grey.
And easy-going Mesa, bringing up the rear as usual. 🙂
Spring Creek Basin Mustangs 
Of those horses, I love Mesa the most. She seems quiet and relaxed. 😉 Peaceful, beautiful, calm.
Mesa’s a stallion – one of four in that band. 🙂 He’s very easy-going … doesn’t seem to mind his place in the group. I’ve seen him before by himself … but not since he’s been with this band.
