| Lucky me! The first band I see is Blue's. I heard he had a spectacular pinto filly we call Sapphire. There she is on the left! A real jewel! The black is her sis, Serendipity, and the pinto is her dam, Destiny. Destiny is a young mom, I believe she is only 4 now. Both of her parents are dead. .. Kira and Viggo. Little Sapphire carries on their legacy, she is something to see in this high desert. |

| I'll never forget the time Carol and I , with the help of a few bachelor stallions, helped Destiny and her filly friend get back into The HMA from the wrong side of the fence. Also I saw her as a newborn , seemed like we waited forever for her to be born ... it is fun to be out here with these memories. The wild horses have become so much of my life. I just love them! |
 |
| I am so pleased to see all the mustangs looking so healthy. |
 |
| This guy was real vivacious! Drifter |
 |
| She is a looker and seems to know it! I hope she makes it past her first year when a little foal is so vulnerable. |

| Serendipity and band stallion, Blue. |
 |
| Brothers. The yearling on the left is Midnight Blue, a yearling out of the other mare in this band, Ohyehee. |
 |
| He is going to look a lot like Blue! |
 |
| Unflattering, but an ID photo of Ohyehee another mare who got separated from her family band at an early age. Not shown is her thin stripe that is quite distinctive. |
 |
| Someone has been eating his tail ... |
 |
| ... and I think I know who! |
 |
| This older white mare showed up last year. We believe it to be Sunspot from Jet, Centauro. It seems like if a band has only young moms an elder will join and help them learn the ways of Sand Wash Basin. We have only begun to understand wild horse behavior. I hope these wild horses can be left alone so we can observe their natural behavior and how Nature does the selecting. I find it fascinating. |
