Warrior's Band

Warrior's band! Warrior is this nice white stallion. To the right is Diva, his daughter.

Warrior has spectacular youngsters, including the two pinto colts.

The mare on the left is Shiva, she has been Warrior's lead mare since the round up. She is a minimalist pinto and an excellent brood mare. She has had a new foal this year, but she does not have one every year.

Diva, with the unusual stripe, is Shiva's daughter. I believe she was born in 2010. She has her own foal now. Most likely sire is Mr Bojangles, Warrior's faithful satellite stallion.

I love this old guy. He takes good care of his small family. I have noticed he is much more tolerant towards people. To think their are people thinking about giving our stallions chemical vestectomies sickens me. They would have to shoot them from a helicopter with tranqualizer guns then due some weird procedure. It would be a "pilot program". Myself and other friends of these mustangs are going to make sure this doesn't happen! I believe SWAT has taken a stand against this.

The grey/white pinto is stunning! A real stand out! My friend called him by another color ... I remember when he was born, I saw him as a newborn. He went lame his first year for awhile, but recovered completely.In my opinion, he will be totally grey like his sire.

There are a couple of people who have focused on finding new foals this year. They are the ones who put names on them, you can go to Sand Wash Basin Wild Horse face book page and see all in the 2014 foals album. Here the photographers have come together and created a beautiful album. Heather Robson of New Zealand compiles them. It really is a group effort. The naming usually goes well, but can cause tremendous strife among advocates. We all love this herd equally and have different ideas on what should or should not happen to them. We have 2 documentations going on the 2014 foals, the other is by Aleta on the SWAT face book page. Hopefully this winter we can work on the yearling-5 yr old albums. This is a lot of work, but many of us feel like it will help the wild horses to have them recorded.

This is Mr. Bojangles, Warriors satellite stallion. He is really good at what he does, he helps Warrior keep his family together and safe.
