There's Bugs, the band stallion. When he sheds out he becomes a sleek buckskin. I met these horses last spring. Then they disappeared for most of last summer. I did see them once going into winter.
The sorrel with the Blaze is one of the two 2 year old colts in this band. We call him Ziggy.
Here is Ziggy with the other 2 year old, Skip. They are the best of friends. Even when Nomad stole Ziggy's mom and her yearling colt, Butch, earlier on this year, Ziggy chose to stay with Skip. Eventually his mom (Rita) returned to the band.
This is Ziggy's full brother, Butch, flemming. He is a yearling who was born in May last year. He came before his half brother, Sundance, who is also going to be a palomino. Butch is a little larger and darker then Sundance.
Butch and Sundance.
Here are the full brothers...
It is that time of year...itchy sason!
Ziggy with his scruffy little palomino brothers. I don't know of a band out at SWB that has more colts in it then this one.
More play. All these mustangs were in great shape. I think the two mares are pregnant. I was sorry to learn that they did not get darted this fall. They both could use a break from having foals. They do have beautiful babies though!
My adopted mustang looks a lot like Ziggy, an easy keeper.
Smiles for the camera. You just gotta love this fun loving band of mustangs!
Something has happened to Sundance's left eye! It looks like it is healing, but seems like it was a major injury. No vets out on the range.
So there is Bugs and his band...stay tuned. I have a feeling the dynamics of this band will change after the two mares have their new foals.
