Tonka's Band

I wanted to show you the grey's band. We call him Tonka. Here he is in the foreground with his two beautiful mares, Rudi and Show Girl. The two mustangs in the background are Nomad and Feather.....not in this band....just hanging out near by.
Tonka.
Tonka wooing his sorrel pinto mare, Show Girl. He has only had her since last spring. She came over from Viggo's band. When she had her colt (Zorro) last spring she left Viggo and her daughter, Charm, with him, but she still likes to be near them. Tonka and Viggo's bands are often seen together.
The filly Tonka is snaking is Show Girls two year old daughter, Charm. Just recently she has joined her mom and is now part of Tonka's band. This is nature's way of getting the young fillies away from their sires.
Family portrait. Charm is a real ham and will walk right up to people with cameras....She used to do this with Stomper. Stomper is the two year old colt in Viggo's band. He grew up with this filly. They were the best of friends. Anyway left to right...Rocket, Rudi, Show Girl, Zorro, Tonka and Charm.
That's the new guy, Rocket. He was born to Tonka's first mare, Rudi, early this spring. This is Rudi's first foal since the round up of 2008 (that I know of).
Tonka, Zorro and Show Girl. This is a very handsome Sand Wash family for sure!
Charm is showing Rocket how to pose for the camera. She will be a good "auntie" to this little foal.
Tonka gathers his troops and leads them away....
