Wild Chrome at the trickle. I’m not sure who he was looking at here; the other horses had walked away to the right, and his own girls were still behind him.

Sync’d

Aren’t they handsome, these young misters?

Mud games
18 08 2012Sometimes, even a little dip will do ya.
When it was Chrome’s band’s turn to drink at the trickle, they did, and then Winona decided there was more opportunity promised by the little mud hole.
Can you tell from this angle (uphill) that the pool at the trickle isn’t much bigger than Winona?
Size did not deter our girl.
Two seconds down, and she was up!
Yucky drippy muddy girl.
And proud of it!
Happy girl couldn’t convince Chrome that black mud is the season’s new, well, black!

Youngsters
16 08 2012Oh, I still think of them as “the little boys,” but they’re not so little anymore! They’re off on their own. Not causing mischief – other than among themselves.
Are they cute or what? Sorry – handsome! If you notice a few legs too many, I assure you there’s no Photoshop trickery. 🙂 Aspen is behind them.
This was taken the same day as the one of Bounce, who was with them, too.

Comanche
16 08 2012The light was bright and harsh when I took this of Comanche, but I love the graceful sweep of his tail as he follows Kestrel and the girls (Madison and Juniper), who were following Hollywood’s band away from the trickle.
I almost never pass up an opportunity to photograph this handsome mister. He always looks fabulous!

On the move
15 08 2012Hollywood’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!

All innocence
14 08 2012All the foals are a joy to watch, but that little Skywalker is an extra gem.
They remind me of Apollo and Mysterium playing.
Who, me?
Soon after this, he turned his attention on stepdaddy Sundance. How fun to watch this bright, inquisitive colt!

Bounce
13 08 2012He still has a hitch in his giddy-up, but this elder mister was hanging with Aspen and the youngsters the other day:
Scarred and shiny. Full of vim and vigor!
Seven, Duke and Kreacher, with Aspen and the young boys a few days ago, were together but farther west. Bounce was last seen in the east pocket, so he wandered some to hook up with some company (this was west of Wildcat Spring).
And pinto update: Maiku IS with the pintos. Seen from the road – a distance – but he was there. No idea where he was the day I visited them.

End of the month? September? OK, OK, I think we’re expecting. 🙂
