Lightning's band

I was very lucky today! I ran into Lightning and his extremely good looking band.
Here's the band stallion, always looking out for his family.

Here comes Grey Boots and Dot.


Guess what? The horse in the back here I named Hazel is a stallion! I'll call him Haze. Seems to like Sky quite a bit, as these two were hanging out together.



Here's Lightning and the bay I call Dot.




They all gathered on the ridge for a fine family portrait.





Grey Boots was all over Lightning this day.






The other white mare, Lady, is Flash's mom. She is also lead mare. I found out little Flash is a stud colt today. Another one!








Haze could be related to my adopted wild one. There's that Sand Wash blaze again, wrapping around the cheek.







These horses form very strong bonds amongst one another. It's beautiful to see. I feel blessed with every encounter I have with these wild horses.









This band is not far from when I saw them back in November. Actually all the family bands seem to have a certain area on the range.











Haze and Sky. I wonder how and if they are related.










Here's Flash and Dot.












Lightning, loyal Sand Wash band stallion. His facial marking never cease to amaze me!













Lady, Flash and Dot.














Haze, I wonder how he fits in. He is a big boy especially if he is a young horse. Kinda looks like Rudi in this photo, but in real life they look nothing alike. He has one blue eye and one brown, just like Sky!
















Here is the whole band, 7 horses total. The winter is getting long, I'm happy to report this family is doing great! From left to right, Haze, Blue Sky, Flash, Lady, Dot, Lightning and Boots.















The one and only Blue Sky, the princess.



















The bay mare, Dot.
















Haze and Sky, my favorite picture.

Your beautiful images of these gorgeous wild horses in the glistening white snow look so surreal. It must be brilliant to see them in person. Thanks for sharing!
