… in black and white:
Comanche’s antics made Hollywood’s mane stand on end! It was OK in color, but I really liked him like this.
Dashing dun …

Standing guard

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.

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.

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

Killian gives Apollo kisses. These 2-year-old bachelor boys hang out with 3-year-olds Hayden and Tenaz – and sometimes Aspen.
This was just a couple of minutes later. What do you think he’s saying? Nice kisser, pal. 🙂

Adding scars
6 07 2013
Sundance in soft, scrumptious, sensational light. (Like that?) The boy is recovering from what seems to have been a bit of a wild-horse-heiney-kicking. At least he still has his girls. And I almost hate to say it, but he doesn’t seem to have given nearly as bad as he got. He has some gashes and scrapes and cuts, and he was moving a bit stiffly. None of the other stallions look like they’ve been in a (recent) fight.
If mustangs could talk, what “war stories” they could tell.
But he’s still awfully handsome, isn’t he?

Tesora sticks close to her “auntie” Puzzle. Shadow was grazing nearby and hardly looked up. I stayed in the Jeep and took pix through the open window.

Freedom
4 07 2013Happy Independence Day!
One side effect of more horses drinking at the water catchment is that Chrome has more “visitors” to his territory than previously. Here he’s marching out to greet Hollywood, who was there with Comanche’s band and ever-present Bounce.

Please keep in mind the ultra-dry conditions, and celebrate safely this Fourth of July!

Cause & effect
3 07 2013A little of this:
led to a little of this:
Because Corazon (in this pic at far right) wasn’t keen to have Copper (in the first pic at left) horning in on his girl, Reya – in the first pic, flipping her tail, and in the second pic, tossing her mane. The flirt. 🙂
