Another dark girl

24 10 2012

This happened a little while ago:

Aurora has hooked up with Hollywood and his band.

She’s the daughter of Alegre and Bounce, and most recently was with her mother, little sister, big sister and niece in Traveler’s band. Little girl growing up.





Sweet nothings (everything)

Hollywood and Piedra:

What do you suppose he’s saying to her? Whatever it was, it worked. She gave him a nuzzle in return. 🙂

Hollywood courted Piedra when she was still a youngster in Steeldust’s band. All four of her foals have been sired by Hollywood. He has lost her a couple of times, but he always has gotten her back (probably due as much to her as to him).

Pony love. Believe it. (Yes, yes, very human.)





Piedra

Lovely Piedra.

No particular reason. Just a portrait of the pretty girl, witchy wind-knots and all!





On the move

Hollywood’s girls walking away from the trickle. Also there were Comanche’s band and Chrome’s band.

From left: Mona, Shane, Temple and Piedra.

We have a considerable amount of haze in our air the last couple of days. Apparently not from any local fires. It’s clear we need our monsoons to step up their moisture production, however. Places are getting rain, but the basin and surrounding Disappointment Valley area are not those lucky places!





Holls’ girls

1 08 2012

A week ago, Hollywood’s, Comanche’s and Kreacher’s bands were on what I call the roller-coaster ridge. Bounce was out below the east end of the ridge. Some of those ponies do like to stick together.

From left: Mona, Shane, Temple and Piedra. Mamas and daughters. Hollywood’s girls.

Comanche’s girls were behind them, and Kreacher’s were heading down toward the pond (dug out in 2010 and one of the three that didn’t go dry this year).

Some good lookin’ girls Mr. Hollywood has. 🙂





Piedra & Temple

22 07 2012

The wind picked up in the evening with a storm coming, and I loved the graceful flow of Piedra’s light tail against the dark of daughter Temple.

Grey/Traveler’s band still was nearby … and Temple is looking at Comanche’s band, in the other direction.





Into the canyon

Heading for water.

Hollywood’s band in Spring Creek, Spring Creek Canyon, Spring Creek Basin.





Piedra & Temple

30 06 2012

Just a pic I liked … Temple nursing after mama Piedra drank from a seep in Spring Creek Canyon.

I think it’s pretty obvious by now that Temple will NOT be grulla. Seems she’s taking after mama and will turn grey. 🙂





Oh, the color

Shane, Temple and Piedra at the trickle at sunset.

Mama Mona and daughter Shane.

Hollywood, in defense of his family.

Love that light. Love that color.

Love those ponies!





Update on an update

8 06 2012

Before I could post the update about Hollywood’s band …

I already have another update:

Who’s that extra girl?

The original update was that Hollywood stole Mona, Roja and Killian from Aspen. The updated update is that Kreacher has stolen Roja and Killian from Hollywood. I didn’t see the horses themselves, but I saw images of them on the LCD of a camera owned by someone who DID see them!
