Chief/JimmyDarkSand Band


Chief out front and the other bay, Jimmy, behind him. These two stallions coexist. I think it is because their mares want to be together. This is always an interesting band to observe plus they have the foal that was born in October. I really wanted to see how the little guy (Kanoa) was wintering.

There he is (on the left) with his big brother, Dreamer. The two colts are about 6 months apart.

Dreamer gets up first....

....followed by Kanoa. They bee line it to their moms.

He is molting! He looks so funny...what color will he be? For now he looks good and strong ( and a little goofy!).

The grey mare making the funny face is Vermillion, Kanoa's mom.

The chestnut filly is Vermillion's 2 year old daughter, Spook. Kanoa is her half brother. Vermillion was with Brave last year, so that is the most likely sire of the late foal.

This is the yearling filly, Megan. Her dam is the one with Dreamer. She is usually hanging out towards the back with the cocky little dun stallion....

.....Roper.

All of the mustangs here look fat and healthy. It is a good thing to see.

this is a great series of a very cool band. i remember taking photos of Spook about 6 months ago. She's filled out and still has a great mane. Kanoa has really changed and, like you pointed out, lookin' good and a little goofy. i'm glad the weather is holding for these horses. they look so good.

viewing this gallery is a Christmas treat.

peace on earth
