If a rival stallion is within view, he’s worth taking notice of. Buckeye not only noticed the stallion (and his band), he actually walked halfway toward him (a distance of maybe half a mile). Only after those horses had dropped out of sight over a ridge did Buckeye return to his family. Potential crisis apparently averted. All well in Buckeye’s world.

Buckeye is not only a looker but takes his responsibilities very seriously! I just love him and his “braveheart” ways.
He does. 🙂 He’s pretty laid back … until or unless there’s a threat (even perceived) to his family.
He saw the threat and took care of it early! He is a smart guy!
Super smart! And he doesn’t put out more energy than he absolutely has to. 😉
Good job Buckeye!!

He had a good vantage point, and the other band was headed in another direction – lucky for them! 🙂
