It happened awhile ago that David acquired Puzzle, but I hadn’t seen them close enough for pix until this week. I was visiting Ty’s merry little band – with Copper, who, earlier in the week, was with Corazon’s band – when I spied Puzzle away off yonder. I bid grateful fare-thee-well to Ty, Chipeta and Seneca and beat feet for a visit with David.
A slow and cautious approach enabled some photos before Ty’s group followed me down the hill and sent the wary band in search of quieter environs.
Puzzle – the pretty pinto pony – is the big sister of Asher and Seneca (same dam: Chipeta; different sire: Copper). David, left, has had Shadow since she was a long yearling. They’ve had two colts: Wind and Coal. Both were adopted last year.
Puzzle was 2 on Sept. 1. Shadow was born in 2007 and orphaned that winter when her dam, Ceal, died. She returnd to the company of Bruiser’s band until the late summer / early fall of 2008, when the “southside boys” bachelor band stole the band; that’s when David stole Shadow and started his own band. He has had her almost continuously since then (Storm stole her after the roundup; David stole her back; Storm stole her back; David stole her back – and kept her).

It is so therapeutic when I turn the computer on and see your posts. It is a testament to the beauty and presence of God in the world amid such a sorrowful and tragic time. God bless the Children and the Beasts.
Thank you, T.J.
David is handsome. Reminds me a little of Davey Greasewood. I’m sure we’ve seen pix of Storm, but I’m pulling a blank, If you are able, it would be nice to see him. Glad David got Shadow back and what a coup to woo Puzzle from Ty’s little group and away from mama Chipeta.
