Warrior's Band
 |
| It was nice to bump into Warrior and his small band. I had not seen them for quite awhile. Warrior is the grey here shown with his one mare, Shiva, her 2 yr old son, Shane and her 2011 filly, Diva. |
 |
| That's Bojangles. their satellite stallion. |
 |
| I did not meet this stallion until this spring. Last summer Shiva and Shane were with Cortez and Bojangles was a bachelor stallion. |
 |
| Diva |
 |
| The wild horses get their nerve up and do a trot by. I love it when they do this. |
 |
| They get a good look (and smell) of me. |
 |
| OK that was enough! Let's go! |
 |
| The pretty mare, Shiva. She has real classic Sand Wash good looks. |
 |
| I like Diva's funny little stripe. I think she will live up to her name! |
 |
| Bojangles gets right in there and mingles with this band. |

More Mystery White
I spot the pinto mare, her son and new filly. This time I try to get a bit closer. I know this band is shy. The only mare, Shiva, is a beautiful sorrel splashed with pinto markings. Last fall she had been with Cortez. Now she is with a white stallion I have not ID'd. 
Here is the white stallion. The HSUS girl had warned me the white stallions out here are the hardest to identify....she's right! Just when I thought I had seen them all a new one comes along and in the mean time some just seem to vanish. It would take a dedicated group of people to document this whole herd.
This is the two year old colt we call Shane. We have a lot of 2 year olds on the range. There were some 60 born in 2009. No telling how many are still around, but more then 3 year olds. Every single weanling rounded up in Oct 2008 was removed....those would have been the 3 year olds...
Both mom and filly have little turned up noses. They are very cute. I hope I see them again soon. You just never know who you are going to run in out here!
Off they go. In the foreground is the young stud, Bojangles. He seems to be a cooperating satellite stallion. Last year he ran with some of the ridge bachelors.
Mr. Bojangles, learning the ways of his home range, Sand Wash Basin, Colorado. Long may he run!
