Tuscarora's Band

Here is the sturdy, stocky, loyal, wild, grey Sand Wash band stallion, Tuscarora. He is a family man. He has two beautiful mares and two yearling fillies. Here he is shown with his youngest daughter, Goldie.
Here is the entire band. These horses are very wary of people. I don't over stay my visit. I let them obseve me and let them decide when they have had enough.
The yearling filly on the right is big! She is a little bit muley looking, but defiently an American Mustang because she is able to survive out here in the fierce elements. We named her Dolly.
The rose grey mare out front is Dolly's dam. Look at the size difference between Dolly and Goldie. From my observations I have seen foals born from March to October. There is a big age difference in the yearlings.
Snaking his mares. Tuscarora has a Spanish Barb look. These horses were DNA tested and Iberian was the number one breed in their blood...it really shows.
Dolly at the awkward stage. She is as wiley as they come. She was born to run free with her family on the open range.
Goldie nursing. Here is her shy black mom, Gaia.
The rose grey mare....Talia.
