Cobolt's Band

Here is a band I do not see very often and when I do see them they are very shy and usually sneak away. It is Cobolt's band. Cobolt is the black with a small star. He is all mustang with his roman nose, good bone and wiley disposition.

A rare shot of the stallion with his lead mare, Mohogany. She is very pregnant here. She is part of the HSUS's PZP study. In my opinion, leave her alone. I am not totally against PZP, but believe we should be more selective .

The little yearling filly with the distinctive long, thin stripe is Mahogany's daughter, Ohyee. She is shown with her new "sister", Skye, who is Chippewa's 2 yr old filly from Ohitika's band. I have no idea when or how Cobolt acquired her, but she looks well taken care of.

I took this photo a couple of weeks later. Mahogany has had her foal. We have called her CJ. Always fun to observe this elusive little band of wild horses that call Sand Wash Basin home.

great set of photos here! you had some good luck for this band to hold still long enough to get some shots. they're not a "run off" band like Jib"s but the sure know how to walk away.

i'd like to see CJ
