See ya!

Took some friends into the basin. Saw Comanche’s and Hollywood’s and Bounce at a distance. Grey/Traveler’s band offered us a great visit right off the road! Then, as we were headed to the northwest valley to check for bachelors, here they came! We stopped in a near tunnel of trees and got the cameras ready. They came right up the road, then around and past us through the pinon/juniper!

Too fast! Too many trees! But I snapped this one of Hayden just before he dashed through the trees and out of sight:

Showing off that big mustang trot!

And just like that, they were lost in the trees.

Smooches from mama

They’re the best!

Little blue eyes is doing well, but he had a bit of a cough and a bloody nose. Daddy Chrome also had a cough. I don’t very often hear the horses coughing. Will keep an eye on the little mister, but hopefully it’s just a case of a “boy being a boy.”

Sister, brother

Always handsome, this pair.

Skywalker with big sister Mysterium.

This band has been relatively elusive lately; this photo is from late August. I last saw them last week, way up high above the northwest valley toward Klondike Basin. A couple of Forest Service folks – H and W – brought Pinch and Jammer and Traveler (!), and we rode some fence and fixed some fence. It was a great couple of days, and the mustangs are safer because of it!

Gaia’s little girl sparkles. Really. That’s the word. See if you don’t agree:

Love the ‘tude!

Love this little beauty. 🙂

He’s touching me

This photo of Tenaz and Apollo cracks me up:

Tenaz, standing his ground but leaning so far away from Apollo, rubbing away the flies on his pal’s shoulder.

Two of the young misters handsome. Had a great visit with these boys. So silly. So awesome!

Apollo gives Hayden a schnuzzle.

That Apollo. What a lover. 🙂 And who can resist kisses for the boy with the heart on his forehead (who has a birthday coming up soon)?

Three words: Trouble. Times. Three.

And one more word: CUUUUUUUUUUUTE!

Raven and Skywalker.

From a couple of weeks ago now, from a gorgeous evening on a hillside. Mama and her baby boy. Aren’t they divine!

Gorgeous Maia is a shy girl, but she looks a lot like big brother Whisper.

Isn’t she a little stunner? Simply gorgeous.

Duke

A week or so ago, Duke was hanging out close to Hollywood’s and Comanche’s bands at the northwest pond while Seven, Kreacher, Bounce and the other boys were hanging out together farther up the valley.
