Gaia & Cassidy Rain

9 10 2012

Gaia and her daughter, Cassidy Rain, formerly with Grey/Traveler’s band, now are with Storm’s band, which previously consisted just of Roja and her yearling son, Killian.

Pretty mama and baby girl.

Isn’t it strange to see a foal turning not lighter but darker?? (In our basin of dominant greys, it is!) Now she’s the rich, dark brown of her sire, Cinch. The question is: Will she stay this color?

His horn to toot is his extreme cuteness!

Framed by rabbit brush, salt bush and grasses, at home in his world.

This is the middle of a head toss, but he seems to be giving “auntie” Winona quite a look as they walk. (And that’s mostly greasewood around them in this photo.)

He’s doing exceptionally well. No more cough/bloody nose.

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”!





Two in the far north(west)

6 10 2012

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.

Kreacher with some colorful fall rabbit brush in the foreground.

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.

From almost a month ago … (what happened to September?!)

Grinnin’ through the greasewood.

Sweet Shane!





The “other” pintos

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’s shadow

30 09 2012

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.
