I see Viggo's and Tonka's bands up on the ridge. They are coming towards me! These two bands often like to travel together. At one time, both of Tonka's mares have been with Viggo. Each band has a 2011 colt...Viggo (bay) has the pinto, Jigsaw. .... and Tonka, the grey, has Rocket. This is the Rocket. Jigsaw is hanging out with his big brother, Stomper. Stomper is a coming three year

 I had heard Chrome, the dun with the 4 white socks, had stolen Femur's band last fall. Finally I get to see Chrome as a band stallion. He has one mature mare, Razzle ,and three,3 yr old fillies (most likely Jet babies)...Gypsy, Makani and Dazzle. Chrome looks good. We have quite a few dun stallions on The Range, this guy is easy to tell apart as he has 4 white socks. There's Razzle and

Big boy Benson has found himself some mares! He has Scenic (pinto) and Zephyr (grulla) plus Zephyr's 2011 filly, Zepplin. These two mares were part of Jet's band which splintered this spring. Jet lost his entire family at first and the Zephyr found her way back to him and had this beautiful filly. The three of them were together this summer. The other pinto mare, Scenic, summered with Femur

This is Cosmo's band. The dappled grey stallion, Cosmo, looks a little beat up and thinner then normal. ....I think it is because these two bachelors, Kiowa and Hoot, are after his three year old filly, Juniper. Juniper just recently returned to her family band after spending the summer with Rounder's family then she spent some time alone with Kiowa, when Hurricane took over Rounder's

Tripod ...named by a HSUS intern who discovered this colt from Corona's band as a newborn severely injured at a waterhole. She got the BLM and a vet to come out, but Corona came and got him. He has been a bachelor since fall of 2010. He seemed to be doing well this summer...often seen roaming and playing  with other bachelors. My friend and I decided to go up to 7 mile ridge on this day,

On Tues, Jan 11, Greasewood was put down. He was suffering bad and I feel the BLM made the right decision. The vet that looked at his body found a piece of barbed wire wrapped around his leg....so sad. I went out on Thursday and right away we spot the family he left behind. I am surprised to see they are without a stallion. As we approached his lead mare, Yarrow, layed down. I thought that

I have been seeing a lot of Corona and band this winter. His band is doing great....this is one of the largest bands on the range. Most of us agree Cheyenne is his lead mare. I am not sure, but I think she might be pregnant. She has not had a foal since 2009 (Tripod). Isn't she beautiful? That is the little palo filly we call Can Wakan. She is trying to get a sniff of me.

 This post is a little out of order, but I had uploaded these photos and thought you might want to see them. This is the bay's, Viggo's, band also known as "The Medicine Hats". Here they are mixed in with some of Tonka's band. The two harems are often observed together. They each had one colt this foaling season and the stallions and mares let them play together (Rocket and Jigsaw) Viggos

I knew Greasewood had been lame, but have not been able to get close until today...his back leg looks horrible and he has lost a lot of weight. He is not putting any weight on the bad leg and is gruntng in pain. To me it looks like he got tangled up in some wire. There is Demi, the domestic. She is still with him and looks pregnant. The bay stallion also has the chestnut mare, Yarrow,

We had the good fortune of  running into Eagle's band today. They were they always are on the range. This band is very territorial and does not seem to roam far. Eagle has one mare and two beautiful pinto sons. This is The Eagle. Many mustang watchers see this band ...they seem to like to be photographed and will often do a "trot by". They did one of those today. I captured it on video and will

Today we saw Yellow's band right off. They are easy to spot....I think of them as "the black and white band". Nothing had changed since the last time I saw them, all members still present...no new horses. There's Yellow Man. The black horse greying out is Star, he is a two year old colt still with his mom. Yellow is probably not his sire. In 2009 he was with Sterling...Kokomo was the

On the way out of the range I spot Hurricane's band on a small ridge. They have moved about 10 miles south since the last time I saw the (;ast week). They are looking for food...it is sparce. The sheep are thick towards the entrance and have been parked there for quite a while. Originally I thought the new grey filly in this band was White Sage, but now I am pretty sure it is Dusty, out of

It is always a pleasure to see Dan, the dun's, band. The dynamics of this family are the same as the last time I saw them. I would say the last time I saw these guys was about 2 months ago. They are elusive and flighty (especially the 2 pinto mares). Here are the two mature stallions in this band...Dan and Spyder. Spyder is Dan's satellite stallion. The family portrait minus the two

Barcus, the big Black, was with the large group consisting if Viggo, Tonka and Brave's bands. Barcus has just one mare (Honey), her yearling daughter (Blondie) and her 2011 colt (Monti). Here is the young filly...ID'd as Blondie...isn't she something else? The HSUS worker told me she was an apricot dun, but my friend was convinced she is a palomino. She does have a line down her back. Any

We were driving along and we saw a great herd of mustangs streaking across the high desert. Eventually they settled down and we were able to approach them. Among this group was Tonka's band. At first they were inter mingled with Viggo's band, which is not unusual. The two bands are often seen together. The beautiful grey band stallion, Tonka. That's Rudi looking at the camera. When I first

 Chief out front and the other bay, Jimmy, behind him. These two stallions coexist. I think it is because their mares want to be together. This is always an interesting band to observe plus they have the foal that was born in October. I really wanted to see how the little guy (Kanoa) was wintering. There he is (on the left) with his big brother, Dreamer. The two colts are about 6 months

Here are the stallions Tashunka (roan) and Prancer (frosty buckskin?). They were with a large group of mustangs that were hanging out together on this winter's day. This was a friendly greeting...Tashunka saying he is dominant. The loyal band stallion, Tashunka. I first met him in 2009, his band has been really dynamic and he has produced some beautiful foals. That's my  friend, Josie,

As we were entering the range we came across bachelor stallions right away. These three were together...Outlaw (flaxen mane), Haze (chesnut with one blue eye) and , I am pretty sure, River (the grey). River is Josie and White Out's 2009 colt. Like I've said befre, the greys are the hardest to ID. I am guessing this is River by 1. where is at on The Range 2. his behavior (he was acting like

On our way out, we see Prince's band. They were right where they should be, by the entrance. I love this band, they are so peaceful and wily at the same time. This is the Moonlight mare. Isn't her mane something? Moonlight's 2 year old daughter, Dusty, is missing and this time I think for good. Someone spotted her with Picasso looking very content. Moonlight has not has a foal since 2009. She

I finally decide it is time to head out to the range. I am surprised how good the roads are. After we pass a few sheep camps we spot this band of horses. It is Hurricane's (formally Rounder's). I can see they have added a new horse...the grey one...I am pretty sure it is White Sage from Greasewood's band. The horses are very skittish and no not stick around. I know the BLM did an aerial count

These photos were taken over a month ago. I wanted to post them now so I do not forget. This band is very confusing and is real dynamic. I call them "The unsettled bunch" Led by the white mare, Eleganza. She seems to be the source of confusion here.  L to R Tai (Half Moon), Lucky, Rooibos, Casper, Lady (bay mare hidden), Gretchen and the one and only Eleganza. There is the very elegant

Well, I had not been out to The Basin for awhile, but some friends had been getting in and I thought would give it a try. We have been having some warm, dry weather which is just great for the mustangs. Last year they got buried in snow early on and had a really tough winter... The only band I saw on this day was Greasewood's. This is the domestic mare, Demi. She came right up to us for a

We spot a large group of horses in the valley below. We decide it is worth the hike to get up close and personal with the mustangs. I was most interested in this small band. I do not see them that often and worry about the development of the colt, RainDance. A couple of months ago a friend had seen him with bachelor stallions.

 It is always fun to see WildWind's beautiful band. They can be quite elusive and it is no guarantee they will stick around. I am alone on this day so I know I have a good chance they will let me view them.

I had seen the new foal in The Chief/Jimmy band a couple of weeks ago, but not this close. We originally thought it was a filly, but "she" is a little colt....perfect in every way. A friend of the mustangs has named him Kanoa meaning "One Who Runs Free". This band actually has three stallions...JimmyDarkSand, Roper and , this gorgeous bay, Chief. He has claimed Kanoa and his mom ...it is

 Our beautiful black stallion, Cobolt. He is quite shy and I do not see him and his small family band very often...just got lucky on the day. Cobolt has one mature mare, Mahogany. She is on the right. We call her 2011 filly CJ. The horse on the left is a 2 yr old filly from Ohitika's band...Skye. On this day this band was right near Ohitika's. The horses are like that.

Good Morning Jib! If you see Jib you will also see his lead mare, Crazy Horse. There's Crazy's new foal, Riddler. I thought for sure this was a colt, but now unsure. Her stripe looks like a question mark. Later...I have confirmed Riddler is a filly. Jib has another mare, Jill. She is very shy and has passed on this trait to her new filly, Dash.

Centauro's band! I was very excited to see this band of wild horses come streaking across the desert. I just hoped they stopped so I could get a good look at them. The beautiful dappled grey stallion. He stops and gives me a big snort. He sees me as no threat and gives me a quick look at his very special family.

I spot a white stallion look out....he is quite a ways off, but I decided to proceed slowly. Who is it? The mustangs are quite spooky. I wonder if this is Renegade's missing mare with her youngsters? I can not confirm this, but the last time I saw Renegade he was missing his mare and her foal (Mia and Kitty). He just had the 2 yr old (Tia). I will have to do some research and ask some

Not a lot of white in Copper's band. The bay band stallion. This band is very elusive and not real tolerant of people. There are 2 2011 colts in this band, Boomer and Red. This is Boomer. This is Red. Two very shy wild horses...yet curious. I have these all ID'd and genders confirmed, but I am getting to the point I would have to go back and look at my records. This place is huge!

Meet Sancho. I hardly ever see this eleusive band so there are a lot of unsolved mysteries here...like I can not even confirm this is the band stallion, but another friend is pretty sure this is the breeding stallion. This band is strange that it seems to have a mare that is in charge... .....this white mare, Eleganza, shown with her daughter, Gretchen. There is one other mare in this

Here is a photo of Blue and Destiny. Blue is the hansome stallion and Destiny is the little medicine hat filly from Viggo's band. She is a yearling who somehow got seperated from her family last spring. At first she was with a group of youn bachelor stallions, but then Blue came along and has really claimed her as his own. He is very possevive of her and will fight hard to keep other stallions

Lucky me....I run into Corona and his band on this day. The spectacular "dunalino" is looking magnificent! He is looking over at Cosmo and band. Somehow Corona's 2 yr old filly, One Spirit, has ended up with them. Everyone seems OK with this except for One Spirit, who keeps looking over at her family band, but I think this is the way is is going to be. This is nature's way of making sure the

Well, I was surprised to see Hurricane, the solid dun, has taken over Rounder's remaining two mares, Pablina and Floriano, plus their youngsters. The mares were leading the way and Rounder was a ways back tailing them. There is Cabellero, Floriano's (bay) yearling colt. I have a fondness for this little guy, he is so unique with his dark mane, flaxen tail and great big blaze with an apron

I was really glad to see the bay roan, Tashunka, on this day. This was one of the first bands I met in 2009, it has been interesting to see his family grow and shrink..he always has beautiful foals. This year his three mares... each had a filly. This one is Lilka, daughter to Moda, the bay mare missing both ear tips (not shown). Lilka is shown here with her loyal band stallion. It is a

I see Femur's band quite often. The bay stallion has had them near the entrance, often near the road where they are easy to observe. Pictured is the entire band minus Femur. Femur acquired this harem from Jet this spring. I have no idea how this happened. Femur is more tolerant of people then Jet is so it is nice we are able to get a close up view of Jet's beautiful foals. This is a two

Well, it is confirmed...Prince, the elegant white stallion, got his chestnut mares back along with their 2 year old daughters. Last week I caught a glimpse of them sneaking across the desert, then I saw Rounder without them. It took Prince all summer, but he has his girls back. It is great to see.  This was one of the first bands I saw when I began observing the herd the autumn of 2009. They

I was surprised to see Wilie Nelson, the grey/white stallion, had taken over the bay's, Solaris's, band. Willie has been a bachelor since the round up of 2008. There is Solaris, he is near by and has not given up getting his family back. He is pretty beat up, but no huge wounds. Most of what you see is dried mud from where Willie has kicked him. Willie has blood on him as well. He also

The first band I see this morning is the liver chestnut's, Rounder's. I knew Prince had gotten his chestnut mares and their 2 year old fillies back from Rounder and this encounter confirmed that.  Rounder had one of the largest bands on the range, but now just has two mares and two youngsters. Proving once again how dynamic the herd is...spreading the genetics around. Nature's way.

The big black stallion, Barcus, is looking really good. He went throug hell and high waer to get this little dun mare, Honey, earlier this year. He lost an ear in the process! I'll always think of Barcus as the one that got stuck on the wrong side of the fence spring of 2010. He would not stop running the line, screaming out for his herd. Somehow he escaped back in to his home and has been a

I briefly saw Centauro's large band. I confirmed they are all still there...all 11 of them. This is the only band that I know of that has four 2011 foals. The bay mare, Reyna, was very flighty and, as usual, led them off. All membes looked sound and healthy. Wow was I ever happy to see the black, Jet, streak by with his one mare, Zephyr, and her new foal who we named Zepplin on face book. We

I drive for miles and miles and finally spot a little orange horse in the distance. It's Mango! Picasso and Mingo's yearling filly. She is at first with a grey, but the  grey quickly disappears into a dip. Soon the mustangs get curious and come to investigate.  I am pleasantly surprised to see it is Vegas, the big bay, and his band. I have a special fondness for Vegas....I am pretty sure he

It was really nice to see Cosmo's band. I hadn't seen them for a while. Cosmo is a layed back grey stallion, very much loved and respected by his harem. Cosmo on the left. The dark grulla is Grace ...next to her is her stunning yearling filly, Heidi. Heidi was born about this time last year. I am wondering if Grace is pregnant again? Hard to tell. She was all over Cosmo on this day. There

It was nice to see Voodoo and his two mares, Yellow Cat and Streaker. The pretty dun is Yellow Cat. She was with Blazer up until recently. She does not seem as content with the new guy, Voodoo. She seems to be pining for something in the distance. The former HSUS employee told me Yellow Cat had really drifted around since after she was rounded up in 2008. Hopefully the next time we "gather"

The band with two bay band stallions. That's Jimmy, he has just one mare, Barbie. I think Barbie likes to be by her mare friends so Jimmy stays with Chief for her (just a theory). The Chief. Hard to get face shots of this stallion. Isn't he beautiful and wild? The lone 2011 foal in this large band...Dreamer. he is one on Chief's grey mares (Darcy) colts. He is going grey too! There

Ohitika's band. You can not see the 2011 filly, Butte, here. She is laying in the grass. Ohitika is impressive to say the least! These two mares came from Tashunka's band, who Ohitika was joined up with last year and for some of this year too. The grey is a mature mare, the bay is Mina. Moda's 2 year old filly. Butte is really neat looking. A chunky grulla filly. Here she stands next

Can't beat seeing Cody's band on a blue sky day. The first thing I notice is the little dun filly he has added since I last saw this band. It is the yearling filly, Chikala, the one that had gone missing from Tashunka's band. It was good to see her with such a harmonious band. Cody is a Silver Roan, he shines in the morning light. To me he looks like a turn of the century horse that got left

It's always nice to see the grey band stallion, Tuscarora, and his band of mares and fillies. This is a shy band. Here they all are minus Tuscarora. One of the two 2011 fillies, Tasca. She was born after her sister.  She hides behind her elegant dam, Talia. In my opinion Talia is one of the most beautiful mares on the range. Here she is showing off her filly. Talia did not have a foal

WildWind, the elegant chestnut band stallion, has a new member in his band. A sweet little filly we named WildFlower. WildThing, her mom, is very protective of her new youngster, She keeps a watchful on on me, but let's me get a new look at this modern day mestango. She has an almost identical star to her dam!

I was pretty excited when I caught a glimpse of Tashunka and band. I decided it was worth the hike to go see them. This band has three beautiful 2011 fillies.

Here is the shy, elusive band led by the black stallion, Cobolt. I had to hike quite a ways to get a good look at them, but it was worth it. Such a great looking band. Cobolt, like many "band" stallions, has just one mature mare. Here is is. The mare, Mahogany, is wary. Her new filly, CJ, is lying down aways from here in the grass. I respect this and do not put any pressure on her. The

It is always nice to bump into Silverado and his wily bunch. He is the little sturdy grey band stallion. Silverado travels with the other grey stallion, Aragon. Aragon is the satellite stallion. Aragon is very attached to this band. You will always see them together, but he usually is a little ways apart, but not always, here he interacts with Silverado. This is the newest member of the

Yay! I got my blogger to work again! I was out of commission there for over a week so I am way behind on my posts. The first thing I wan to mention is that Tripod is with Benson and Cowboy and our little underdog looks great!

I wanted to show you a few of our wonderful bachelor stallions. Here are L to R....Hoot, Tango and Nick. I can't confirm, but I am almost sure Hoot is from Eagle's band. Tango is one of Picasso's 2 yr old colts and Nick, the palomino, is a mystery. Usually if I see a group of bachelors there is an older stallion amongst the younger ones. This is Haze. He was with Lightning's band in

Finally! It hs been a long time since I have seen Corona's band, but today they are right off the road. Everyone is there since the last time I obseved them, which was last June. Corona looks fabulous. He is in his prime and I consider him "the King of Sand Wash Basin". He takes my breath away! He seems proud of his 20011 foals, Indiana Jones and Can Wakan. They are just perfect in every

Lucky me....on this day I am fortunate enough to run into Rounder's band. I had heard there were some changes to his harem and it was nice to see for myself. Pablina, the flea bitten mare, has lost her yearling son, Diego. Hopefully he has struck off on his own and has found some bachelor stallions to roam the range with. This is about the time of the year the first yearling colts leave

This is the first time I have seen Eagle's band this summmer, but I have seen other people's photos of them and knew they had a new foal with them. I'm pretty excited to see them. They are an exceptional band of wild horses. Well, they all are. Here is the stallion..we call him The Eagle. He is a big bay with a few unusual pinto markings that set him apart. He usually is in the same

I was driving along in the middle of nowhere and passed an old two track. I drove by, but for some reason turned around and turned down  it. It was the right thing to do as I ran into "the dark ones"....Copper's band. This band is easy to tell apart as they are all dark, no greys, pintos or roans here. This amazing band is composed of beautiful bays, blacks and liver chestnuts. The band

On this day I get up real early to beat the heat and I am rewarded by seeing Twister and his beautiful band of mustangs at sunrise. A sight to behold. I am back from taking a small break from visiting the range. I am discouraged because I have found out the HSUS (The Humane Society of the United States) looks at my blog and uses my data without paying me nor giving me credit. They are

I wanted to show you this little Sand Wash family that are very leery of people. The lined back dun is Storm, he has no white on him. He stole this mare from Lightning when his band broke up the spring of 2010. We call her Blue Sky. She had a foal late last summer which I never saw until this year, he is Rain Dance, a colt. It was nice to get a close look at this shy wild horse

Mateo's greys...from l to r  Cachina, JackPot and their mom, Casino. It is nice to see the mature, liver chestnut stallion has a harem. He hung out alone a lot and seemed to be pining for a family gone lost (maybe in the 2008 round up?) Anyway he is stutting his stuff now! Really nice to see this. The 2 yr old filly Cachina, most of our 2 year fillies out at SWB  are still with their dams

Finally! I have a close encounter with the roan, Cody's, band. I really wanted to get this band figured out. I think I have a clear understanding of how they go together. Here is the band stallion, Cody. Look at that rear hind sock...I good way to tell him apart. The yearling in this band is a colt, we named him Slate. Kinda a non descript color. He almost looks like he going grullo in

Here is a band I do not see very often and when I do see them they are very shy and usually sneak away. It is Cobolt's band. Cobolt is the black with a small star. He is all mustang with his roman nose, good bone and wiley disposition. A rare shot of the stallion with his lead mare, Mohogany. She is very pregnant here. She is part of the HSUS's PZP study.

It is good to see the black, Barcus, has finally won over a mare. It is Honey from Solaris's band, her yearling filly, Blondie and 2011 colt, Montie. In between Solaris and Barcus, Honey was part of "the unsettled band" led by the grey mare, Eleganza. I am glad to see she has settled with this brawny stallion. Blondie is a real beauty.

Here comes Solaris and band to the water hole. Solaris is a bay. He had a larger band last year, but still has two faithful mares and their young with him. The grey mare we call Frosty. She has a yearling roan filly (Flare) and a new 2011 foal. The other mare is the bay who has a two year old daughter. They are called Sedona and Mesa. Real look  alikes. Here they are watering at

The two frisky brothers in Viggo's band have a romp... The little grey colt is Rocket, he was born early this spring. The handsome sorrel is Zorro, he is a 2010 colt. Zorro was an only foal untill Rocket came along. "Come on big guy show me what you got!" These two are in Viggo's band. Such a joy to watch wild mustangs play. Back to mom to have a drink of her milk.

Vegas's band has finally settled down enough to where I can get a good look at them, but the mysterious grey mare with the new foal is very wary of people. I am cautious to put a new ID on her because I am not 100%  sure she has not been recorded. Anyway here they are. There is PJ (Picasso Junior) who was born into Picasso's band late last  summer. Somehow he ended up with his Vegas along

I spot Jib's band in the distance....I veer off onto a two track to get a closer look of this elusive band. I am on a mission. I want to show the world how awesome these last remaining Colorado free roaming mustangs are. There's the lead mare, aptly given the name Crazy Horse...look at that coloring!. She is show with her 2011 colt with the question mark strip....Riddler. Crazy is not

Today I make a special trip to see if I can find Twister's band. I know Shady would have had her foal by now. At first I do not see them so I take a detour and explore some new area then come back to where I have seen them so many times before...sure enough they are there! I am more then thrilled! Twister loves the new filly in the band, CopperGirl. I am pretty sure she came from Copper's

My first encounter on this day was with these three bachelors who hang out on the east fenceline. I am sure they have lost friends or relatives who have escaped over to the other side. In my opinion this section of public land where so many mustangs have escaped, should be part of the HMA. The cattle guards get filled in with snow during the winter and the wild horses are free to leave, but

I set out this morning hoping I would come across Cosmo's Band. I had heard he had a new foal back in April, who I still had not seen. He even had been given a name and an ID number for our spread sheet. Well... lucky me, with a little doing, I finally spot Cosmo and the molting little colt we call Milagro. Here he is with his full brother, Astro.  There are the two  brothers using their "

Lto R  Pearl, Yellow Man, Owl, Crow and Star Yellow is a nice grey stallion who has a lovely Sand Wash family. He was a loner untill he acquired the black mare, Crow, and her then black baby colt, Star, who is now a 2 yr old and is slowly turning grey (Silver). Owl (filly) joined the scene late last summer. She is Crow's  2010 foal. Pearl, the grey mare joined them in the fall of 2010. She

Today I find Viggo, the handsome bay stallion, with a new little sorrel pinto foal in his band...it is a colt! We have named him Jigsaw. This is my first look at the little, leggy guy. Raven, the big, black "auntie" mare trys to hide him away. She does not have foals of her own for some reason. The family band. Look at his coloring! Jigsaw is a real gem. We have not had many pintos

Demi keeps going to the place she started....is she trying to tell us something?? Using Benson's tail as a fly swatter. Demi, the sorrel pinto, first showed up at Sand Wash Basin late last fall. She was near the entrance and clearly had been "dropped off". I can confirm she was domestic by the way she came up to me to be petted! She took up with Benson and then ended up with Greasewood's

Spyder, the sabino (?) satallite stallion for the band led by the duns. I am slowing learning about this elusive band. This is the only yearling in the group. A pretty little chestnut filly. I have not determined who is her dam. We need to get an ID on her and in the books! I first saw this 2 yr old colt (Roosevelt) the sping of 2009. Back then he was with just one of the duns and his mom

Thank you for all the nice comments. I read each and everyone...I am unable to reply for some reason. (technical difficulties). These wild horses are lucky to have so many admirers. I am hoping this helps them in some way. Let's hang in there for the mustangs. Nancy

Here is an elusive little family. This is the first time I have seen this foal that is with the dun, Storm, and his mare, Blue Sky. Sky came from Lightnings band. She ran off with Storm last June. He keeps her well hidden. We need a name on the yearling. I don't know if it is a filly or colt. Destiny is now with this black stallion who I believe to be Harlan. Destiny is Viggo's and Kira's

Bachelor stallions! Some of the beautiful pintos that call Sand Wash Basin home. Nick and Flash were really buddied up on this day. Here they pose with the big bay, Thunder. Hoot! the HSUS told me he is Eagle's 2009 colt, but then where does Sparrow fit in? Personally I think Sparrow was orphaned. It's really good to see Kokomo hanging out with other stallions. He was alone a lot last

Often times the two roan band stallions, Ohitika and Tashunka, are seen hanging out near each other. They have done a bunch of swapping around and Wakan Ska, Tashunk's grulla mare is missing. I'll try to explain... Ohitika's band front to back...Chippewa (sorrel, his original mare), Chippewa's new filly, Wi Wakan (formely with Tashunka), Mina (Tashunka's 2 yr old filly out of Moda), and the

Here is the other 2 year old filly in the band besides One Spirit. She is Lona's. Just a nice sorrel. Named after a nearby town. Yampatika has the "primitive" look. She reminds me of a Pryor Mountain horse. Corona in his prime. One of the largest harems on the range.. The bugs were so bad on this morning...you can even see them if you look closely. The palomino pinto, Cheyenne, is

I finally got a close up look at Josie's new filly, Cinder. She is in White Out's band. As usual White Out is hanging out near Yellow Man's band. I think the mares are bonded.Here is Mystic's yearling filly, Madeleine. She got seperated from her band and is now with Bugs. She has befriended Bug's mellow little palomino colt, Sun Dance.Picasso was doing good on this day. He let us have a good

My friend and I were very lucky to have an encounter with Dusk on this day. She has come a far to view the mustangs and has a special fondness of Dusk, whom she calls Ash. She knows him better then I. The last time she saw him (last fall) he was very beat up. I saw her smile as we see Dusk (Ash) is blooming and has a young mare and her filly by his side. Actually, we had to hike a ways out to get

I wanted to show you what is going on with "Chief and Jimmy's band". It seems the two bay stallions are sharing the three grey mares with Roper, the dun, dogging them.This is Chief ...he for sure has Barbie and Darcy. These were his two mares last summer too. The third mare, the really white one, was Brave's. I think Jimmy has claimed her.Roper, he has been following these guys all spring.The

I sure have been seeing a lot of this band this spring. Last year it was the same and then they "vanished" and I did not see them again until the next fall. Anyway there's Bugs, the buckskin. The little pale colored horse on his right is Mystics's yearling, Madeleine. For some reason she ended up with this band when Prince's band broke up. That's Sundance, one of the two "palomino" yearling colts

Lucky, lucky me! Look who I see on this fine day....the Icon, Picasso, and his small family band. They were just wondering around. They all looked great, fat and sleek. Here is Picasso's petite yearling daughter, Mango. She is quite tolerant of people. She has been a strong, healthy filly from the start. Her dam, Mingo, is the one that had the foal that passed this spring... Look at Monet! She

I wanted to show you the grey's band. We call him Tonka. Here he is in the foreground with his two beautiful mares, Rudi and Show Girl. The two mustangs in the background are Nomad and Feather.....not in this band....just hanging out near by. Tonka. Tonka wooing his sorrel pinto mare, Show Girl. He has only had her since last spring. She came over from Viggo's band. When she had her colt (Zorro)

The sorrel stallion, Blazer, has added more mares to his band. Last summer it was just him and the dun mare, Yellow Cat. They had a very tight bond and trailed "the mob"....Brave and Chief's band and the bachelors that tagged...But things change.Here he is with his original mare, Yellow Cat. Before she was with Blazer she was with Femur along with Vogue, Gem and a black mare.....The HSUS told me
