Shadow and Tesora

To mamas big and small, two-legged and four- … with gratitude for all you do to love and protect us and keep us safe, and teach us the ways of the world.

XOXO!

Chipeta, Seven, Puzzle, Tesora and Shadow north of Round Top.

Chipeta, right, watches while Seven grazes with his mares, Puzzle and Shadow, and his stepdaughter, Tesora. Chipeta is Puzzle’s mama; she’s with Ty and their daughter, Seneca, who were out of this shot to the right. Copper also was with them. On this particular evening, their “spaces” overlapped a bit.

Shadow and Tesora

Shadow and her baby girl, Tesora – treasure.

Is it just me, or does her star look like a horse head?

Although I surprised Seven’s band – THEY surprised ME – around a bend and over a slight rise, they didn’t move away (which also surprised me). Within a few seconds of this photo, Tesora turned around to nurse – and Shadow let her. If mamas aren’t comfortable, they walk away and won’t let their babies nurse until they are comfortable. I took a few photos and moved on, before they got uncomfortable.

Sweet baby girl. Isn’t she beautiful?
