| It is gale force winds out...the bachelor stallions are frisky. It is a joy to watch! |
 |
| They are in a constant state of motion...play fighting. |
There is Sir Duke (grey) having fum with Skerik (black). Skerik came from Silverado's band. I never could figure out if he was the 2009 colt in that band or a satellite stallion. I am leaning towards the 3 yr old colt by the way he acts.
 |
| Boy, these greys are hard to ID! My best guss is Sir Duke. I make an educated guess by where he is and who he is with. |
 |
| Sir Duke was an orphan when I first met him in the spring of 2010. He was on the road running the east fence line. I wonder if his band crossed over to the east side? |
 |
| L to R Hank (dun), Renegade (grulla), Skerik and Sir Duke. |
 |
| The sorrel is Clyde the other black is Harlan. |
 |
| Hank is such a beautiful horse, I was disappointed I did not get more flattering shots of him...just the way it goes. I like him for his multi colored mane against his dun background....really stunning. |
 |
| The bachelors continue to play down by the water hole. Wow, are they ever frisky! It is really something to see. Their energy makes Sand Wash Basin light up! |
 |
| Clyde was also an orphan colt in 2010. This was soon after the 2008 round up which really mixed up their complex social order. I think we can do better. Maybe by knowing who the horses are and how they fit into the herd will help them. I am hoping so! |
 |
| Handsome Hank |
 |
| The bay on the right is Sundown. He is a submissive, older stallion. |
 |
| Running from the waterhole. |
 |
| Clyde is relentless...he goes around and around with the big black. |
 |
| ....and up |
 |
| I think the roan is Half Moon, but once again, can't confirm. There are other roans that look similar. This is the one I saw with the blacks and Renegade the other day. |
 |
| The wild horses are rapidly losing their winter coats. It weas almost 70 degrees on this early spring day. |
 |
| One word for this amazing encounter...FUN! |
