Did no one guess the answers to the questions posed under the “Change” post? Their names were in tags, of course, but … anyone?
Maybe it’s just that this young stallion continues to amaze me. Aspen has been dogging Grey/Traveler’s band for the last week or so, but it wasn’t Aspen who stole a mare. It was …
Storm!
As a side note, can you believe how dark Cassidy Rain now is? Look back at this post or this post and compare.
The ponies are showing definite signs of “fuzzying up”!
As hinted at in yesterday’s post, we spotted Duke and Kreacher together in the northwest. Kreacher and Seven have ditched each other – and the young boys have ditched Kreacher – or vice versa – and were with Bounce and Seven.
Kreacher and Duke. The northwest pond is behind them to the left.

Duke. Such a mustang classic. The reddish hue to the ground around him is purslane. I don’t know much about it, but it’s apparently very widespread this year.
Love that his ears still are dark.
Bay gorgeousity.
Who are they, and who are they with?
… he’s beautiful.
Mustang poster boy. 🙂
Beautiful baby!
Sticking close to mama.
Baby and mama. What a beautiful pair!
From almost a month ago … (what happened to September?!)
Grinnin’ through the greasewood.
Sweet Shane!
Most of the attention has been on baby Seneca lately (!), but the rest of the band also is doing great!

Mama and her baby boy – gettin’ big!
Brumley Point is one of our easily indentifiable landmarks, and it sits on our southeastern boundary, which means it also is located in McKenna Peak Wilderness Study Area, and it’s fairly close to both McKenna Peak and the unnamed promontory.
Chipeta and Seneca, and daddy Ty napping in the background. Copper was napping farther back and to the left. And Brumley rising above them.
Copper, muddy.
He goes back and forth between the pintos and the pintos. Hmm. Only Chipeta is pinto in her mini-band. She’s keeping her little girl safely separate. They were fairly close to Corazon and co. the other day when we saw them from the road. But when Ty came into view, Copper decided to have a visit.
Mama Chipeta, baby Seneca and “uncle” Copper.
Ty was closer and to the right.
Copper moved to this spot, and then they all took naps. Little Seneca laid down, flat out and nearly hidden by the grasses, sage and saltbush. They stayed in their respective positions until David and Shadow came to visit.
They came to visit the baby, but the visit didn’t last long! Or maybe it was just a case of “oops, is this meadow already taken?”
Baby Seneca had just awakened from her nap and was nursing. Daddy Ty and uncle Copper were still napping … and then there was a bit of a commotion – and up popped a familiar blaze face! Followed by his little black Shadow.
Ty stayed with Chipeta and Seneca, and David took his Shadow away from Copper. Shiny, healthy ponies!
Not long, but their visit was fairly calm.
