This is her gorgeous white band stallion, who looks out for her and his small family.
This is Strider. He is from a different band and was born much earlier this spring, but the two bands are almost always seen next to each other. I believe the mares have a tight bond.
She is cuter then cute! I love her little stocky built and her determination of a mustang.
Here is Strider again, he is also an only foal in his band although River, his yearling brother, is his best friend and playmate.
Behind the little filly is her greying out brother, Star, and her wise old black dam, Crow. This is not Crow's first foal. She is a seasoned mare and knows her way around the range. She will have to use all her skills to keep her little late filly alive through the extreme winter months ahead.
This is Strider's band stallion. It is quite a sight to see these two bands together with the two white stallions.
See how Star is starting to grey out? It is fun to observe the greys, they all change color differently.
See the determination I am talking about?
She is lucky to have her strong yearling brother to walk beside her...
I wonder if her mane and tail will stay black? I was blessed to have run into these horses on this day. I hope other folks appreciate their beauty and work together to make this a safe home for our modern day Colorado mustangs.
