Yellow Man's Band

Today we saw Yellow's band right off. They are easy to spot....I think of them as "the black and white band". Nothing had changed since the last time I saw them, all members still present...no new horses.

There's Yellow Man.

The black horse greying out is Star, he is a two year old colt still with his mom. Yellow is probably not his sire. In 2009 he was with Sterling...Kokomo was the satellite stallion. He grew up as an only foal until his sister came along late last fall.

Crow is a true black and a very good mom. She is also Yellow's lead mare. She did not have a foal this year.

The "little sister" that I mentioned...Owl.

She is a real sturdy little filly. I think her sire is Sterling.

This photo does not do Star justice....he is a real stand out with that silver mane and tail.

Pearl is the other mare in this band. She has not had a foal since the 2008 round up. She is easy to tell apart by her half an ear and a smudge mark on her shoulder. Maybe pregnant this year? Hard to tell as she is such a round mare anyway.

The mustangs are having an easy winter although the forage is scarce. They are competing with thousands of domesticated sheep who also are taking advantage of a mild winter.
