Leaner But Not Meaner

Persevering through another drought year in California and having un-weaned colts in December has not ruined the enthusiasm of these mares.

August and September births have these girls separated from the larger mare group because the foals are not old enough to be independent yet.

A couple of short rain days have helped the grass to begin sprouting, but we are a long way away from any real feed to sustain horses in a free range environment.

That Herd is looking forward to a successful and healthy new year with abundant grass and water. Many thanks for all of you who have remained loyal to That Herd through some challenging times from the side of the horses and the side of the photographer.
