Dan's Band

Spyder, the sabino (?) satallite stallion for the band led by the duns. I am slowing learning about this elusive band.

This is the only yearling in the group. A pretty little chestnut filly. I have not determined who is her dam. We need to get an ID on her and in the books!

I first saw this 2 yr old colt (Roosevelt) the sping of 2009. Back then he was with just one of the duns and his mom, Splash. Splash is one of two loud pinto mares in this harem. Roosevelt  has a distinctive pinto marking on his neck.

The pinto "sisters" the one on the left is Luna and the one on the right is Splash. You could easily mistake Luna for Crazy Horse, who is in Jib's band. I call these pre painted Indian War Pones. They are beautiful.

I know one or both of these mares are in the PZP study. I have seen the workers trying to dart them. This is Splash.

They just did a quick walk by. They are a little more shy then some. But like many of the mustangs out at Sand Wash are becoming more tolerant of people.

Here is where it gets confusing. I don't know if this a 2 yr old or another stallion that lives in harmony with the other dun.

I am pretty sure this is the band stallion.

There they are, minus the satellite stallion, Spyder, who is almost always seen tagging them.
