Cherokee's Band

I spot this band from a distance. I can tell it is the pinto's, Cherokee's, band. I hike out to get a closer look. I know these horses are shy so I approach slowly and in plain view of them.
Here is the alpha mare, very pregnant. She is one of our lovely grey/white pintos. We named her Bonita last year.
The grey is Bonita's 2 year old (need a name), but I do not recognize this sorrel. I never confirmed its gender.
Cherokee is one of our few breeding pintos. He is a beaut! He has got all the characteristics of an American mustang. He has wintered well. Here is moving Bonita along.
See the little nose in between the two greys? That is Bonota's yearling colt, Zander. He is extremely shy and the band does their best to keep him hidden.
Bonita has one blue eye. She is exquisite. This new foal should be a looker!
Who is this?? Looks like a filly, but I don't know. I am always thankful the HSUS is out there doing there own documentation. Hopefully they have this horse ID"d.
Here is the only photo I got with the elusive little Zander in it. He looks a lot like his mom.
Off they go. They do not let me view them for long. These are true wild horses and I respect their space. This is their home.
