Isn’t she stunning? Mariah, daughter of Grey/Traveler and Houdini.
This image doesn’t capture the subtle, glowing red rose of her greying coat.
Perfection on four legs!

Swoosh!
21 07 2012No, that kind … this kind!:
Is she – Maia – not the cutest thing going?! That’s Mariah behind her and mama Alegre in front of her. The baby girls were reacting to Hollywood’s band coming over a rise in the distance.
They were excited; mamas were not worried.

A magical evening.

Advantage
20 07 2012Chrome’s band is the only band that takes advantage of the water catchment. Not sure why this is, but I’m glad they know where the good water is!

Shane
20 07 2012Realized I hadn’t posted much of this girl lately, either. She’s closing in on her second birthday (mid-September). She has been with Hollywood’s band for several months, and her mother, Mona, joined the band a few months ago. Her sire is Kreacher, but Seven was her stepdaddy for most of her foalhood.
Hi, pretty girl. 🙂
Like most older “siblings,” she’s a good babysitter for baby Temple (not actually related).

Above the sun
20 07 2012Already under shadow:
The sun had nearly sunk below the hill Sundance’s band was on, casting them into shade. Pretty (dirty) girl Mysterium is looking over at mama Kootenai while stepdaddy Sundance looks up from grazing in the background.

Horse laugh!

Life’s too short to take it all seriously. 🙂
But because he’s too handsome not to post more …
He was alone by the east-pocket pond, which has water again. He still has a hitch in his giddy-up, but he’s doing – and looking! – well!
Mr. Handsome!

Walkin’ with baby
18 07 2012Or “who can resist,” part 2!
That face! That look!
Melted. 🙂
Mister Skywalker is going very grey in his handsome little face.
I made a zoom-zoom trip into the basin this evening to check water sources. Only three ponds are still dry, and one is scheduled to be dug out as soon as the Forest Service gets to it (this week?). As hot and dry as it was this year before the rains finally hit, three ponds never went dry – better than years past when they’ve all gone dry! There’s even some green in them thar hills – very welcome to see. The ponies are very healthy. A new friend votes “fat mustang” for Terra. 🙂 Still waiting. Kootenai, almost a month from her due date, also is looking great.

Seven
15 07 2012Haven’t posted much of the boy recently, though he’s always around.
This was from a couple of weeks ago:
In Spring Creek Canyon.
And this was from last week:
So elegant in the dark storm light. He was trotting out to meet with Aspen.

Three girls, two sisters
15 07 2012
Babies Temple and Madison with Madi’s sister Juniper.
It’s fun to watch the babies become independent little selves. Juni is a good big sister, always looking out for baby Madi.
Healthy, beautiful girls!
