Brass and Derringer are full brothers and Pongo is their buddy. They have all decided to hang out together for the time being. As of last sighting all three of them were co-leaders (although Brass seemed to be most dominant) to a mare and her now yearling. They will all make great band stallions one day.
Winchester is a beautiful black stallion that runs in the Indian Park and Round Mountain area of the horse range. He was born in 2018. He was kicked out of his family band by the time he was a two-year-old. He buddied up with Waco who had a mare already. It is amazing that some of the more mature stallions will let a young stallion into the band….at least for a while. Winchester was with this band for a year or so and then started running with various other bachelors. As of last sighting he is still a bachelor.
Cypress is a handsome chestnut stallion that lives in the Monument Rock area of the horse range. That means he is a wild one! He is one that I hope we keep on the range. He has only one suspected offspring on the range and only one possible sibling. I say” suspected” and “possible” because with stallions one is never sure if they really are the sire of any given foal. Hate to see this line die out! Both his parents are no longer on the range. He currently has a small band and I suspect he will get more. He was born in 2017.
Chantilly is a beautiful sorrel mare with a big star and a flaxen mane and tail. She lives in the North Soda area of the horse range. She is a big mare and oh so beautiful. She is curious and alert. Every time I hear her name I want to sing that song – Chantilly Lace
This is Platinum’s band. He took Chrome and Ashes away from Quincy, then added Phlox and this winter he picked up Raven. He is a beautiful palomino from the Monument Rocks area of the range who migrated over to Indian Park. He hung out as a bachelor for a while and then acquired his band. Chrome has lived all her life in the Indian Park area, although she has been in Upper Coal Canyon in the winter when she was younger. Ashes lived with Sid so was seldom seen. They lived in the wooded area between Monument Rock and Indian Park. Phlox is from the Monument Rock area as well. Raven is a long time resident of Indian Park.
Platinum – 2017 – parents Adobe (sire) and Liberty (dam)
Ashes – 2001 – Cinder, sire unknown
Chrome – 2000 – Medicine Hat (sire) Shadow (dam)
Phlox – 2022 – Cypress or Houston (sire) Clover (dam)
Raven – 1999 – parents unknown
This is Tahlequah. She was born in 2019 and lives in the North Soda area of this range. She is a beautiful bay pinto mare.
I can’t help it but every time I say her name I want to start singing the song Chantilly Lace.
Look at her showing off how beautiful she is.
Rojito and I were talking yesterday and I reminded him that I remember when he was a cute little sorrel colt. Then I reminded him that he will be sweet 16 next month! My how the time flies.
It’s been a long time since we have had this many paints in one band. There is one sorrel filly and the rest are paints. Quite the sight
This boy is definitely born with it. He has charisma and looks. He is a stunning palomino with almost a roaning effect. He is stunning and has managed to attract three mares. He always seems to be on high alert and I rarely catch him relaxing. The most relaxed I have seen him is when he is grazing and even then he is on high alert. Those eyes and ears are on a continuous swivel. Our handsome boy Platinum
