Dark skies coming

Grey and Houdini in storm light against Brumley Point.

Grey/Traveler and Houdini watch Hollywood’s and Comanche’s bands with a hint of storm on the horizon.

We got rain. It left puddles. If we get much more of this stuff, it might lead to the filling of ponds. 🙂





Hers & hers

Temple and her mama, Piedra.

She’s her mama, and she’s her daughter. Piedra and Temple.





His & hers

Hollywood and Shane with Shane's mama, Mona, in the background.

She is his, and in the background is her mama.

Miss Shane will be 3 in September. For perspective, Mister Hollywood is not the tallest boy in the basin. 🙂





Do you see me?

Hayden

Yes, handsome Hayden, all eyes are on you!

This young mister has filled out a lot this year. He’ll be 4 in September. He’s a stout little hunky red boy!





Dashing dun …

Hollywood

Comanche’s antics made Hollywood’s mane stand on end! It was OK in color, but I really liked him like this.

Seven with his mares Shadow and Puzzle and Shadow's daughter, Tesora.

Seven and his girls stand over their baby girl, Tesora, while she naps during a hot afternoon in Spring Creek Basin.

Signs of rain are on the horizon – literally. But we need a bit of a direct hit. I think I can speak for the ponies when I say we’re ready already.

Apollo

An accident of camera settings resulted in this image of Apollo and Hayden that I decided I liked. It can represent just about anything you want it to. Clearly a horse. Clearly a horse in motion. Sometimes, that’s enough.

Storm in the trees on the north hills.

Storm through the trees.





Baby hug

Shadow and Tesora

Baby Tesora gives mama Shadow a hug as only a baby can hug her mama.

Killian gives Apollo kisses.

Killian gives Apollo kisses. These 2-year-old bachelor boys hang out with 3-year-olds Hayden and Tenaz – and sometimes Aspen.

Apollo giving the flehmen after Killian gave him kisses.

This was just a couple of minutes later. What do you think he’s saying? Nice kisser, pal. 🙂
