A series of three photos of Mouse and Aspen.
Aspen was working really hard to provoke Mouse, who wasn’t really going for it … but aren’t they cute?
Mouse was not thus named for a timid personality, by the way, but for his brown-grey color – very similar to Comanche at the time when I first starting documenting the horses, right after the 2007 roundup. But Mouse has always had this extra refinement; Comanche was always a bit heavier, burlier. Oddly, Mouse was the more dominant of the two, but it was low-man quiet Comanche who got the girl (Kestrel), when she went off a bit to have her foal (Winona). However, I think, because of behavior I saw last spring, that Mouse may be Winona’s sire.

They are both so majestic, I love the gleam in their adorable eyes! Has Aspen ever sired a foal?
Not that I know of. He stole Piedra from Hollywood last winter for a short time, but she would already have been pregnant with Tenaz.
Love watching boys as they play
Me, too – and they were so cute about it! I wished (again) I had a video camera as I watched Storm and Whisper chase each other around earlier.
