The first addition is another palomino colt! Hazel had her foal and he is a little Sand Wash jewel. An artist friend of the mustangs has named him Titanium. This is Hazel's third palomino colt in a row.
The other new surprise member is Mystic's yearling filly, Madeleine, from Prince's band. The dun mare in Bugs band did not have a foal this year and hopefully can look after her. The handsome palomino on the left is Skip, one of Bug's 2 year old colts
That's Bugs, the handsome buckskin band stallion.
This is Titaniums full yearling brother, Sundance.
Here is the other palomino yearling colt, Butch. He belongs to the dun mare, Rita.
This is a group of bachelors that was right near Bug's band. The dun in the left is Ziggy, Rita's 2 year old. He has left Bugs band and is joined by Craig, Willie and Snip.
Skip, the next Corona? I have seen this guy really blossom into a gorgeous mustang.
Look how stocky and sturdy the new guy is!
That's Skip getting to know Madeleine. Her mom is near by with Blazer. I have no idea why they split apart. She is from Prince's broken band. She was born into Lightning's band last spring. Her dam, Mystic, took Madeleine as a newborn and joined Prince.
Since Rita did not have a foal this year, yearling Butch recieves the milk.
That's Skip and Butch. This is always a fun band to observe because of all the playful colts.
I love it when an encounter ends like this. All the horses relaxed and ignoring me. We will have to wait and see if Madeleine stays with this band. For now she seems fine.

i come here to feel the harmony
the drifting life that starts in the sage
the simple of morning and lets
head up the draw. to wander the day
wind through the mane, catch a thirst
and head for water. belly full from dusty bunch
lazy eyes of summer sun. to dream of dew
the day dream passed around to wait for night
from where she rolls. from thunder to
to silence somewhere to rest they pass on
the peace i seem to need. mhl
