Silverado's Band

It is always nice to bump into Silverado and his wily bunch. He is the little sturdy grey band stallion.

Silverado travels with the other grey stallion, Aragon. Aragon is the satellite stallion. Aragon is very attached to this band. You will always see them together, but he usually is a little ways apart, but not always, here he interacts with Silverado.

This is the newest member of the band, the little filly, Jolly. It looks like she might grey out.

This is Jolly's yearling sister, Bird, who is turning into a bay like her mom, Celeste. Celeste is the only mare in Silverado's band.

The mare, Celeste, and Jolly. Everyone looks healthy and sound here!

Celeste is a good mustang mare and looks after little Jolly. She teaches her the ways of a wild horse and shows her around the range. Jolly is never far from her loyal mom.

The majestic stallion, Aragon. He is well versed in his role as satellite stallion. Last year he was a bachelor stallion who we named Zeus. He is one of the many who has gone missing. He was a solid chestnut. Know one would know if he died or escaped out of the HMA.

Silverado. The only horse I did not mention was the black. You can see his tail here. I am pretty sure he is Celeste's 2 year old colt, but he sure seems big.....We call him Skerik.

Mysteries

Here is an elusive little family. This is the first time I have seen this foal that is with the dun, Storm, and his mare, Blue Sky. Sky came from Lightnings band. She ran off with Storm last June. He keeps her well hidden. We need a name on the yearling. I don't know if it is a filly or colt.

Destiny is now with this black stallion who I believe to be Harlan. Destiny is Viggo's and Kira's yearling filly who ended up seperated from her family coming out of winter.

I am pretty confused about this band...I wonder if one is Tuscarora's 2 yr old filly, Dolly? Tuscarora was near by. I think the yearling is the one we called Slate? We need to do some research to ID this little band. I think the black stallion is Slick, who I need to get in an album.

This is a band I am slowly learning about. They have two crazy looking pinto mares, who look like they could be sisters. We named them Splash  and Luna. Splash has the 2 yr old sorrel colt, Roosevelt. He is easy to tell apart as he has a pinto marking on the side of his neck. The band stallion is one of the duns, I always forget which one. Both duns need ID's along with a yearling chestnut filly we have not recorded. I do not know who her mom is. I will add the duns along with the filly to our albums. I am going to do a whole post about this encounter. Please be patient!

Wow, this band was spooky with their new foal. I think the sorrel stallion is Solaris, who had a large band last year. The grey mare is Frosty, the roan yearling is her colt, Flare. The other horses are the bays Sedona and Mesa. Hope to see more of this band.

It was good to see Silverado, the white/grey, with his band. Nothing has changed here except for the mare's (Celeste's) new foal. I did not get a gender. The yearling filly is Bird. The black is a stallion we call Skerik. I don't know how he fits in. Satellite stallion? Aragon was dogging this band.

This is the white stallions, Warrior, band, minus Warrior. The mare and her 2 yr old colt (Shiva and Shane) are pintos. The new filly we call Diva. Bojangles is a satellite stallion for these guys. Cortez had this mare and her colt last year.

Cortez, the dun with the hour glass blaze, with his two mares, The white mare is Asha, she is nose to nose with her son, Aspen. The bay mare (Athena) was with Solaris last year. She does not seem to have foals.

I was lucky to find Vegas with PJ and Olga (from Picasso's band). This mare had joined them with her newborn.  I have better photos of this mare and will do some more research. I just want to make sure we don't count horses twice.  

I finally saw Tuscarora (another grey/white stallion) and his two mares, the yearling palo, Goldie, and the two new foals. This one belongs to Gaia, we named her Arctic. Talia's is younger and is also a filly . So nothing has changed too much here (phew) except his 2 yr old filly, Dolly is missing. These mustangs were not into being photographed on this day ....Talia (the grey mare) was very shy with the new filly.
