Eagle's Band

This is the first time I have seen Eagle's band this summmer, but I have seen other people's photos of them and knew they had a new foal with them. I'm pretty excited to see them. They are an exceptional band of wild horses. Well, they all are.

Here is the stallion..we call him The Eagle. He is a big bay with a few unusual pinto markings that set him apart. He usually is in the same general area. Some bands are like that, others move around the range more. Nothing is normal behavior when you talk about mustangs.

The new foal is a colt. Here he is with his yearling brother, the Falcon. The person who first saw him thought he was a filly (easy to do) and ID'd him as Meadow Lark. He is a cutie and loves to play with his big brother.

Mustang brothers.

The Eagle

They were on their way to the water hole and chased and played the whole way. So much fun to watch!

Eagle just has one gorgeous mare, Lark. Luckily she is not part of the PZP study. She is a nice mare and has really good looking babies.

Last year there was a little filly with this group that never looked quite right. She was a little bay we called Sparrrow. I am pretty sure she passed this past winter. I never figured out how she fit into this band, because she looked to be Falcon's age. My theory is she was an orphan. I am pretty sure the bachelor stallion, Hoot, is a 2 yr old out of Lark. It is a mystery.

Good looking Sand Wash colts.

I love these little pinto boys.

Lark streaks by, she is wary of me like a good mustang mom. Thanks Eagle!
