Solaris's Band (Taken Over by Willie Nelson)

I was surprised to see Wilie Nelson, the grey/white stallion, had taken over the bay's, Solaris's, band. Willie has been a bachelor since the round up of 2008.

There is Solaris, he is near by and has not given up getting his family back. He is pretty beat up, but no huge wounds. Most of what you see is dried mud from where Willie has kicked him. Willie has blood on him as well.

He also has that large wound on his back right knee, but he has had that for awhile and it has actually gotten better.

Here is what they are fighting for.  Solaris even had a larger band last summer. Maybe he is getting old? The band is unsettled and the boys still have some fighting to do, but when I was observing them Willie clearly was dominant and was strutting his stuff. I posted a video on my YouTube channel for anyone who is interested.

It is good to see Willie with mares. His color is spectacular.

The strongest stallion will win, but for now we will have to wait and see. I am impressed Willie took over an entire band!
