Barcus's Band

Barcus, the big Black, was with the large group consisting if Viggo, Tonka and Brave's bands. Barcus has just one mare (Honey), her yearling daughter (Blondie) and her 2011 colt (Monti).

Here is the young filly...ID'd as Blondie...isn't she something else? The HSUS worker told me she was an apricot dun, but my friend was convinced she is a palomino. She does have a line down her back. Any color you call her she is a real stand out!

Blondie's dam and Barcus's only mare, Honey. Honey was with Solaris's band last year, but somehow ended up with the unsettled bunch (Eleganza and gang) when winter broke. Her 2011 colt, Monti, was one of the first born this spring. When Barcus fought for his life  to win over Honey,  little Monti was just a newborn. Honey does not seem settled with Barcus...maybe she is pining for the company of other mares?

I am almost sure Honey is part of the HSUS PZP study.

There's Monti with the big guy, he seems to really look up to this wise wild stallion....he is learning the ways of a Sand Wash mustang from him. Monti is a laid back little guy. This summer he was showing signs of being a beautiful roan. Here you can see the unique shape of Barcus's head. No mistaking this guy...plus his legs are like tree trunks.

Barcus lost half an ear to win over Honey.

Brother and sister.
