Bachelor Stallions Plus Cinder

Today I see this wonderful group of wild horses. They are all bachelor stallions except the little dark grey one. I am almost certain that is Cinder. She is only an yearling and I am wondering why she is not with her family band (Prancer's). This has happened to yearling fillies before, but it is unusual. She has a slight limp.

The stud colt leading the way is Falcon from Eagle's band (The Bird Herd). He is a 2 year old and this is the first time I have seen him with bachelors. His mom, Lark, recently had her 2012 filly, Robin, and Eagle must have told him it was time to fly.

This handsome pinto is the son of Picasso and Mingo. We call him Tango. it has been a long time since I have seen him. He is now a three year old and is really blooming. He seems to be in charge of Cinder, but is scrapping with Hawk over her.

Cinder....her mom is Josie who was last seen with Prancer. White Out is the most likely sire of this greying out filly. I am only 90% sure this is her. I'd have to see Prancer's band to confirm, but the stars match up in older photos of her.

Look at those perfect hooves! This is Hawk. He is a three year old from Centauro's band. Reyna is his dam.

The mustangs go to Sheepherder Springs for a drink.....

The catch pond is empty. We are in severe draught.

Our BLM installed this solar panel pump which is filling this old trough. I have never seen horses drinking from it, but other folks have.

These four do not drink. They move on to the next water hole....Here you can seee how dry it is.
