Cody's Band

Can't beat seeing Cody's band on a blue sky day. The first thing I notice is the little dun filly he has added since I last saw this band. It is the yearling filly, Chikala, the one that had gone missing from Tashunka's band. It was good to see her with such a harmonious band.

Cody is a Silver Roan, he shines in the morning light. To me he looks like a turn of the century horse that got left out on the range. You would never mistake this gnarly mustang stallion for a domestic. There is something very different about him, that sets him and his kind apart. They are American Mustangs, a breed apart. That is one thing I know for sure after visiting the range going on two years now.

Tashunka's 2010 filly, Chikala. Her dam. Ska Wakan, has been ill this summer and has a new 2011 filly to take care of. I think this little dun will be safe with Cody. The two mature mares with him do not have 2011 foals of their own.

That's Harlan, the black bachelor stallion, he is dogging Cody, he probably has his sights on the yearling filly.

Cody's "twin mares". They must be sisters? They look and act a lot alike. One of their stripes goes right and the other mare's goes left. Also one has a 2 yr old filly and the other a yearling colt. They have wonderful Roman noses!

The yearling colt, Slate.


Cody challenges Harlan...

Lots of noise here, not too much action. Harlan will stay his distance...for now.

Cody see him off and life in The Basin rolls on....
