While her stallion was busy protecting another mare in the band at a water source, Mariah took it upon herself to act as protector of the whole band against a stallion who was semi-patiently waiting in the wings with his own mare to get a nice, cool drink of water.
The quiet female force that gets things done when the guys aren’t looking. 😉

The herd hierarchy is fascinating. She’s stepping up for the greater good of the whole. So glad to know the water is holding up!
Exactly so. 🙂 Very thankful for the water. … And our rain forecast next week looks particularly promising – finally!
Girl power. 😁
Exactly so. 🙂
Go Mariah!!
No silly stallion is going to mess with HER girls!
Leave it to the gals to protect their families!
Yep. 🙂 The original band protectors!
Girl Power in action!
You said it. 🙂
Go, Mariah!
🙂 She wasn’t taking any encroachment!
