Renegade and Destiny

I am so excited! I finally see the elusive (to me) grullla stud, Renegade, with his very pregnant mare , Mia, and her two year old. This mare was with Jib's band last spring. She had a foal last year which she lost. The only time I had seen Renegade was when he was alone last year by a water hole. I am sorry I need not get more photos. This photo does not do him justice....he has an amazing mane and the most beautiful coloring. Hopefully I will see more of him this viewing season...
There is Destiny, our little medicine hat filly with the black forelock and tail. She is less then a year old and has left her family (Viggo's band). She has joined up with the grey yearling, Sir Duke, and the 2 year old chestnut stud colt, Clyde. She seems healthy and is full of spirit! On this day she was playing the role of lead mare. A HSUS woman told me it is not unusual for a yearling filly to leave her band, but I disagree. Destiny and Sparrow, from Eagle's band, are the only two I can think of that are "on their own" at such a young age. Most of the yearling and two year old fillies are still with their bands.
