We thought the day would be a real success when we found the paint mare and her family grazing along the road before we ever got to Government Creek. We couldn't believe our good luck. The old mares second year colt, had a very new baby by her side, which is her second colt. Last year she had a palomino which is in the band today.
This new addition looks like he less than two or three days old, sill a little wobbley on his feet. He must have a absentee dad, as out of character as his color is. The buckskin mare is short the colt she had by her side in May. He had a odd looking mark on his neck the last time I saw him. I don't know if there is any connection.
They all looked a little poor for this time of year. They have a lot of fire damage to contend with, but I'm not sure that is the cause of their poor condition. There is still a vast amount of country out there. We drove the fifteen miles around Davis Mountain and only found another seven head of bachelor studs. There was an article in the paper about the BLM rounding up some of them because of the fires. I don't know if it happened or not. However we were short over a hundred head. If they are around, they are walking might light. No tracks around any of their normal water holes.
A good name for him might be "Sliver' not much more than a shadow.
