Twister's Band

On this day I get up real early to beat the heat and I am rewarded by seeing Twister and his beautiful band of mustangs at sunrise. A sight to behold.

I am back from taking a small break from visiting the range. I am discouraged because I have found out the HSUS (The Humane Society of the United States) looks at my blog and uses my data without paying me nor giving me credit. They are doing a million dollar PZP study out there and pay someone to document the horses. It is against the law to use my photos and info without my permission. I wanted to be friends and work together, but they "do not have time" to work with me. They have been warned. The force of SWB will take care of the rest..I am sure of that. Anyway my documentation continues in hopes it will help these beautiful Colorado wild horses that are not scientific. That is one thing I know for sure.

Enough of that....here is the band stallion, Twister. He stands alone between me and his harem.

Finally he decides I am ok and gets on with his business. Look at his mane! That is why he is called Twister.

The little stand out grulla filly, Whisp. She is shy and wiley.

The white mare, Windy, with her 2011 filly we named Sunni. Windy is a proven brood mare.

The Shady Lady

Twister's 2011 fillies. Both are going grey like their moms. We group named them Sunni and Promise. Too nice to chase with helicopters. Why can't we think of a more humane way to manage these beauties. They are living legends. Something from the past.

Here is Breeze, Windy's 2010 colt. He is curious and comes to get a sniff.

Sunni wants to see what I am too. I stand still and let her come to me, but not too close!

The only horse I didn't mention in this band was CopperGirl. She was there. She seems to enjoy having Callie as a friend. Long may they run! It's always nice to encounter Twister's band.
