Volcano's Band

Like I said before, I had heard Twister's band had broke up and I find a few of then with the sorrel, Volcano. Also with Volcano is his 2 year old son, Buck and Ash and Bonnie's yearling filly, Bonnie.

Buck and Sioux have formed a tight bond. It is so cute to see. She follows him everywhere! Buck is a 2 year old. These two could not have more different conformations.

I like Buck! He really has some size to him! Sioux is dainty and feminine. The diversity of this herd is amazing!

The grey mare, Shady, and her 2012 colt, Willow, are also with Volcano. Missing is her yearling filly, Promise. Her 2 year old filly, Whisp, is near by with Ash. Shady was one of Twister's lead mares. I wonder what happened to Twister and the rest of his band? Before this split he had the largest band on the HMA (Herd Management Area).

That's Scout...he is the 2012 colt to CopperGirl. CG is from Copper's band. She joined Twister last year as a 2 year old. She is a stunning liver chestnut.Scout is a strong, independent guy. Not as shy as his little half brother, Willow.

Here is his mom, CopperGirl. Such a beautiful Liver Chestnut color... The stallions just love this mare. She seems to spend more time flirting then being a mom, but here she hangs out with her mischievous son, who is taking a rest.

The solid sorrel on the left is Callie. She is a 2009 filly out of Jib and Crazy Horse. She also joined Twister as a 2 year old. All of these horses seemed healthy and very curious about us. There is no need to chase them with helicopters!

Callie....bait trapping would be a better, more humane, modern method.

Volcano is gorgeous! It is nice to see him with a family again. He has been a bachelor since he lost his mares to Mateo earlier this spring.
