See them? I can tell right away it is the band stallion White Out with his little family.
Here is the band minus the coming 2 year old, River.
Here is the 2010 colt, Strider. He was one of the first foals born this spring on the range.
The very handsome white band stallion we call White Out. These horses have been in the same area all winter and were in the same place last winter too. They do not seem to move much. They live in about a 2 mile radius near the Hywy.
This is the beautiful sorrel mare. I kinda snuck up on her. She was quite surprised! Sorry Josie!
I don't know if she is pregnant or not, but if I had to guess I would say she is.
Here are the two mustang brothers and best buds, Strider and River. River was an only foal until Strider came along. They are never very far apart.
The mare got seperated from her family and was quite concerned, but White Out calmly led the brothers right back to her.
They always seem to have something in their mouths although it looks like there is very little forage. They help each other to get to it. They depend on one another for their survival through these severe winter months.
The mare and I stared at each other for quite a long time. She seemed to be as interested in me as I was in her. She never took her eyes off me. I am amazed these horses just don't move off right away. They have some kind of interest in humans for sure. It is like they are willing to trust.

The mare striking a pose.
I am preety baffled about what color this colt will be. This summer he almost looked like a grulla. This was a wonderful encounter with this beautiful Sand Wash Basin wild horse family.
