Saturday morning was the first time in a long time that I was woken up by the sound of horses outside my camp area. It was great to hear that again. The horses had moved a little as none had visited us the day before, but they were all still in the same general area from the first guzzler on the right out to Burnt Timber Canyon. It was Galaxy’s group that had moved through camp, and we could see Cloud over to ou left. Cappuccino’s had appeared to move to the front ridges.
We decided to drive a little and see if we could see anyone new. We were able to find Jackson’s band. It was good to see Jackson, and even without Heritage and Jasmine he still has a nice sized band. In my opinion, Firestorm looks pregnant. I would say Brumby does also, but she has burned me before. Galena didn’t look as much like she was to me.
Also in the area was Mescalero again. Half Moon probably isn’t pregnant as Mescalero tried to breed her. The look on her face didn’t seem impressed, and Missoula came over to say he wasn’t, either.
On the way home, we routed by McCullough Peak HMA. We were able to find a band near the road. The mares were Tecumseh’s, but a black horse that may be Saguaro was leading them and fighting off another stallion.
While we could see some horses out in an area I have not learned the roads to yet, we were able to find one lone stallion before heading home.
Pretty sure that is Saguaro — you can see his small star in one of the shots. And that is definitely Garth. He has that big circle spot on his left side. Will be interesting to find out what happened with Tecumseh.
That early morning shot of Galena is a welcome sight. Thanks again for taking us with you! 🙂
I forgot to mention, the last horse looks like Kenya. But if it is, he has lost a lot of weight.
oops — RIGHT side….
I agree that Galena is probably not pregnant. She’s usually close to foaling around now. Unless she’s just pregnant for a foal later in the year. Not a bad thing though that she’s getting a year off. I’d like to see Firestorm get a year off, but doesn’t look like it will be this year. Firestorm’s foals are always gorgeous, so I do look forward to this one. I think I’m hoping for a blue roan one this year. So was Broken Bow kind of floating around. She seems like she was near Jackson’s band too. I’m sure she’ll be back with Doc soon, especially if that’s where Demure is. I’m hoping Half Moon will go back too. It’s kind of sweet to see Missoula trying to stand up for his Mom. I wonder though if that keeps happening if Mescalero will try to chase him off and kick him out. With Half Moon not seeming to be impressed with Mescalero and really having no ties to him I would anticipate that he wouldn’t be able to keep her if he decided to chase Missoula off. We shall see.
