Jet's band

Sorry I have not been posting much lately. Northwest Colorado is in extreme draught and it is brutal conditions on The Range...the wild horses are no worse for wear. Here is Jet's band. They are watering at Lake Draw along with a lot of other mustangs. The mares with the new foals are Jet's 3 yr old fillies, the foals are most likely Femur's.

Jet...The Black. This stallion had the largest band when the mustangs were last rounded up in 2012. He lost his entire family last spring (no idea what happened). Only his grulla mare,  Zephyr, made her way back to them. Together they raised Zephyr's 2011 filly, Zeppelin last summer. Then in the fall of last year his pinto mares (Scenic and Razzle) were observed back with Jet along with his 3 yr old fillies (Makani, Dazzle and Gypsy). Zephyr and Zeppelin ended up with Benson.

Both of the new foals are colts. A friend of the mustangs named them Doc and Watson. This is Watson. His mom is Makani. Makani's mom is Sunspot, who is now with Centauro. The pinto shown is Dazzle.

Isn't he cute?
