Cody's Band

Finally! I have a close encounter with the roan, Cody's, band. I really wanted to get this band figured out. I think I have a clear understanding of how they go together.

Here is the band stallion, Cody. Look at that rear hind sock...I good way to tell him apart.

The yearling in this band is a colt, we named him Slate. Kinda a non descript color. He almost looks like he going grullo in this photo. I first saw Slate last year when he was Beau as a little foal.

These are the two I was really confused about. This mare's stripe goes left and the other mare's goes right. This one is Cosima (stripe goes left). She has a look alike shy 2 yr old daughter called Rosie.

Cosima really joined up with me and I had to shoo her away! Look at how similar the stars on these horses are.

There is the goofy yearling Slate and his dam, Hope. Her stripe takes a right turn at the nostrils.

The father/ son bonds are stong here. I can't believe Cody let me get such a great look at his family...thanks Cody!

They all have beautiful roman noses. Just love this Sand Wash band.

The mare, Cosima, kept wanting to join up. I couldn't believe it, normally she just runs. I do so much better when I am solo, but enjoy the company of other people. Thanks for your comments Marty.
