Storm's Band

We spot a large group of horses in the valley below. We decide it is worth the hike to get up close and personal with the mustangs. I was most interested in this small band. I do not see them that often and worry about the development of the colt, RainDance.

A couple of months ago a friend had seen him with bachelor stallions. I am glad he is now back with his parents and hopefully getting some milk from his dam, Blue Sky.

Storm is a wonderful roman nosed dun with no white on him. One could get him confused with Hurricane. He put up a huge fight to get this lovely little mare spring of 2010 when Lightning's band went down. RainDance is most likely Lightning's son.

Here is the handsome dun having a word with Tashunka, the roan. The horses were in a group composed of about 5 bands. For the most part, they were are getting along.


It is hard to mistake Sky with her little lightning splash and great big blaze. I like her white eye lashes.
Storm loves her too...This is a very shy pair. This is one of the best encounters I have had with them.

RainDance reminds me of a little Cowboy or Ranger. He was born late last summer. I know the mare never got darted last fall, she evaded the HSUS (Humane Society of the United States) and their darts and PZP. I never saw this foal until this summer. Very elusive indeed.

Happy Mustang!

I hope RainDance makes it through the winter. He looks a bit thin and not as robust as some. Time will tell.
