Cody's Band

The only change to Cody's band since last fall is this cute new foal we call Question. Her mom is Hope. Cody has two mature mares, Hope and Cosima. They each have a stripe. Hope's goes right and Cosima's goes left.

Here is the other chestnut mare, Cosima. She has her 2 yr old filly, Rosie, by her side.

Cody's other mare is actually a 3 rear old filly from Tashunka and Ska Wakan. We call her Chikala. She is very pregnant. She left her family band last fall.

This Handsome grey guy is Slate, Question's half or full brother. He is a two year old like Rosie.

Cody is a good band stallion. I feel blessed he let me have a look at his new filly. I hope by documenting this herd they will have a better chance of humane management. In my opinion they are some of America's most beautiful equines. They have such good bone and hoof. These are the descendants of the horses that settled our country.  We must work hard at preserving this herd. Out of about 150 or more mares that could have babies only 20 have had foals this year. I believe we can manage them on the range with numbers like this.
