Femur's Band

I had not seen Femur since last fall, but had heard he had lost his pinto mares and his three, 3 year old filies, but had kept the 2 year old fillies. These fillies came from Jet's band. Jet's band splintered spring of 2011 and Femur ended up with most of his mares and all of his youngsters.

Named for the shape of his stripe by The HSUS. Femur is a layed back stallion and is quite tolerant of people. He is usually in one general area year round. He has had mares come and go. At one time he had Yellow Cat and Vogue. He has also been alone. He does not seem to mingle with other stallions. For now he is raising these two beautiful fillies.

I had Nimbus ID'd as a colt, but she is a filly. Her mom is Sun Spot. Sun Spot is currently with Centauro. She left Nimbus as a yearling. Nimbus is refined as her sire, Jet.

This filly ID'd as Kinstry is exotic. She has stripes down her legs and other primitive markings. Her dam is Zephyr, who is a grulla. This filly also got separated from her mom at a young age. The pinto mares helped raise her then somehow ended up back with Jet. The pinto mares never settled with Femur and it is nice to see them back with The Black (Jet).

This photo does not due her justice. She has a prominent dorsal stripe and little black marks above her eyes.

Nimbus is a very feminine filly. Femur seems to be looking after her and her half sister well.
