Viggo's Band


This post is a little out of order, but I had uploaded these photos and thought you might want to see them. This is the bay's, Viggo's, band also known as "The Medicine Hats". Here they are mixed in with some of Tonka's band. The two harems are often observed together. They each had one colt this foaling season and the stallions and mares let them play together (Rocket and Jigsaw)


Viggos pinto mare  (Kira) has thrown three foals in a row that all share her coloring. Her coming 2 yr old filly is with Blue. I find it interesting this band has kept her coming three year old colt. He acts as a satelitte stallion and lives in harmony with Viggo (for now).
The other mare in this band, the black (Raven) has not had a foal since the 2008 round up and plays the whole of "the aunt in this band".

That's little Jigsaw, a crowd favorite.

Jigsaw is very curious about the humans that come out and take photos of him.

Posing with his gorgeous, loyal band stallion, Viggo. Viggo is a nice stud and his mares are very loyal to him. he is quite tolerant of humans which is nice as we can get a close look at a wild mustang. There are other horses on the range that are still wild as snot. You just don't see them very often. I am sure there are a few mustangs no one has seen....it is that big out here..

Beautiful Family. Great picture of Viggo and son, Jigsaw. So glad things are going good for this family. Thank you for the updates Nancy, we fans love you as much as the horses.

Great photo's, nice to hear about this band. I haven't encountered them out on the range, looking forward to that. Jiggy is quite endearing!
