Barcus's Band

The big black stallion, Barcus, is looking really good. He went throug hell and high waer to get this little dun mare, Honey, earlier this year. He lost an ear in the process! I'll always think of Barcus as the one that got stuck on the wrong side of the fence spring of 2010. He would not stop running the line, screaming out for his herd. Somehow he escaped back in to his home and has been a force ever since.

Honey came with her yearling filly, Blondie and her 2011 colt, Monti. When I first saw Honey this spring, she was with the "unsettled bunch". The large group led by the white mare, Eleganza. Last summer she was with Solaris.

The mare does not seem happy with this arrangement! Maybe things will get better? I am sure she is pining for her sisters.

The new foal is beautiful! He is a little roan. He was born early this summer over by Yellow Cat draw.

Barcus was hanging out with a large group of harmonious bands on this day including Corona, Cosmo, Yellow Man and Viggo. Look how big he is! Gotta love this big black wild stallion. He is a sight to behold! I bet he will get a few more mares in the near future. There will be many 3 yr old fillies next year. I looked at my records and out of the 60+ foals born in 2009 (post round up) almost 60% are fillies. Should be interesting..
