| There's Casper, the grey, nudging his band along. We get a quick look before they vanish into their high desert Colorado home. The marker horse for me here is the white, lead mare...Eleganza. |
 |
| There is Eleganza in the foreround...between her and her dk grey daughter, Gretchen, they shield little Mississippi, Gretchen's 2012 colt. He greyed out quick and is a handsome, healthy looking fellow. Eleganza has not had a foal for a couple of years and will help her daughter raise this little wild guy. |
 |
| Eleganza! The essence of a wild mare. She is usually leading the way. Last summer she took her time choosing a stallion. She had about five stallions courting her and it was hard to determine who was band stallion. I called them "The Unsetttled Bunch" It would be hard to know who Mississsipi's sire is...Sancho, Rooibos, Half Moon, Casper? In the end she chose Casper. This summer they have been a settled band. |
 |
| The bay mare in Casper's band we call Lady. She did not foal this year.. nor last. She had a gorgeous stawberry roan filly, Lucky, in 2010. Lucky is now with Tuscarora (who I will post about next). Before Lady ended up here she was with Vegas and Casino. |
 |
| Sancho continues to dog Casper. |
 |
| Closer look at Sancho. It is always a pleasure seeing this elusive band. They all look healthy and ready for the winter ahead. |
