On guard

Seven and Puzzle - note Shadow at bottom right.

Seven’s ladies seem to be feeding him well. Puzzle is behind him, and you can just see Shadow at bottom right.

Grey/Traveler, center, drinks from a pond with his band, from left: Alegre, Maia, Mariah and Houdini. Water is the most precious resource of all in this high desert region.





Raven at rest

Raven's hind hooves.

Raven’s hind hooves. Wild, muddy, healthy hooves.





She’s a big star

Mariah and Houdini

Our Mariah, with mama Houdini. She’s big and beautiful, and her first birthday is just a few weeks away.

Like all of Grey/Traveler’s and Houdini’s daughters, she stars as a gorgeous mustang girl!





Looking at you!

Skywalker

Skywalker looking over mama Raven’s ear, very last light of day. He’s a big boy … and still nursing. Mama doesn’t look all that pregnant; she’s usually huge. Her due date is in mid-May.





Flagged

Seneca and mama Chipeta

Love. The. Tail!

Baby Seneca and mama Chipeta trotting past away from bachelor Copper. I have it on good authority that Seneca’s big brother, Asher, does the same tail-flagging, strutting trot. 😉





Corona, halo’d

Corona, haloed.

Very last light of day rims the girl in lovely light.

I looked for Sundance’s band for two days, then found them where they were, well south of where I had seen them just three days previously. This is the basin’s traveling band, for sure.

This visit capped a wonderful, peaceful visit with the two pinto bands, which were close together – and followed a David sighting! That was the first I had seen him since I found his mares (Puzzle and Shadow) with Seven. He’s alone but in terra familiar and looks well.





Grey in black & white

Grey

At this time of day, there wasn’t much difference between the color version of this image and this black-and-white image. His white eyelashes show up very well against his lovely dark eyes!





Storm in the forbidden forest

19 03 2013

Storm off the road across from the Sorrel Flats pond.

So it’s not very forbidding, and it’s not exactly what one would call a “forest.” But it frames Storm very handsomely, doesn’t it?

Early-ish morning, and he and his family were on the way to drink at the Sorrel Flats pond.





Pretty girl and a peak

Cassidy Rain in front of McKenna Peak.

Cassidy Rain about a week ago in front of snow-covered McKenna Peak. The snow now has melted.
