Briosa and family

11 05 2011

Had *wonderful* visits with Hollywood, Piedra and baby Bri last week. Am delayed getting out to the basin by much-needed rain and snow (!) – moisture – so I was able to get to some more pix today that might have been pushed off even further!

Here are some pix from the first visit:

She’s a bit of an independent girl.

Daddy Hollywood

She made a few overtures to daddy …

He wasn’t overtly interested in her, but he just seemed to “quiet” … I don’t know how to explain it, but I’ve seen it in all the stallions when the babies are near. Careful. Gentle.

Family 🙂

Many with mama Piedra, of course …

Little darling girl!

Oh, to live like the ponies … in the moment, the future now. Roll with the flow. That’s how it goes when I’m in the basin … the only planning moving forward, one step ahead of the last.

Piedra and Briosa – last week. At the tail end of the wonderful long hike that introduced me to Coal for the first time, I caught up to a visit with Hollywood and his girls – with Bruiser and Milagro tagging along. She’s taking a sweet break here, but this little doll lives up to her name – “spirited”! I got to spend more time with them this weekend – what an absolute treat!

No new babies this week … but several are due within the next couple of weeks … some closer than others! The weather was spectacular. 4CBCH folks – cross your fingers, hold your prayers aloft – bring buckets of sunscreen and vats of water – and bug spray, the gnats are back! But if we have weather next week/end like this, what a glorious time we’ll have!

More changes to report ahead … promise.





Two new

Still haven’t seen Miss Shadow (saw everybody but them and Poco!), but we have two additions to the world!

My Cortez talk is tonight, so these are just teasers until I can get to more!

Gemma, baby sister and mama Houdini.

This is at least the fifth straight daughter for Houdini – and the third daughter for Grey/Traveler and Houdini.

And …

Piedra and her baby girl – her first daughter!

From a couple of previous suggestions from friends, I’ve already named this little one Briosa – Bri (“bree”) to friends – which means “spirited” – for THIS exuberance:

How spectacular is SHE! 🙂

Welcome to your basin, little girls! We’re delighted you’re here!

Some changes coming (they’ve already happened – the reportage is coming) … It’s springtime again in the basin!
