Below is a link to a report from the Mustang Center on what bands have been seen and those that have not been reported being seen.
These horses are amazing in their survival. While I was there last week, I looked towards Jim’s Farm (with binoculars) several times over the course of my 4 days on the mountain. I did not see any horses, but that does not mean they were not there. There are so many areas where they could be and most likely just weren’t in clear view when I looked for them.
Thank you to the Pryor Mountain Mustang Center for giving this report. Please click on : “View Original Post” below to read the entire post.
Also, here is a link from the BLM Facebook page just published this morning about the horses. Please click on BLM to view that post.

Thanks for sharing! I always think of the horses in this weather, as I know so many others do too! I thought I read that the Cloud Foundation had spotted Horizon, Jupiter and Fiesta, but not Tonopah, when they were there this month? I know the horses know what they are doing but it’s scary on the human end when we don’t know how they are faring!
Hi Abbie. No, Ginger did not see Horizon, Jupiter and Fiesta on this last trip. That was her trip before this last one, which was the end of December.
Oh ok, well hopefully they are doing well!
I was going off this comment from the Cloud Foundation Facebook page: “All the horses she saw looked to be in good shape, for such a harsh winter, but she did report that Tonopah, the oldest mare on the mountain at 28 years, is not with her band stallion He Who.” (Feb. 13th) I assumed from the comment that Ginger had seen Horizon, my mistake!
I could see how that was confusing. I actually had to go back and re-read those posts just to make sure!

Here is the link to Ginger’s December trip.
Here is the one from Ginger’s Feb. trip a few days before I was there:

Hi
What about the older stallions such as Santa Fe and Chino? Anybody seen them?
Hi Thora,
I have not heard of anyone seeing Chino or Santa Fe. But that is not unusual. There just has not been many people that have ventured up the mountain where they may be (they both have been know to winter on Burnt Timber area). When I take you up the mountain this summer, we will be going up BT, so you can see the vastness of the land and the many places they could be. Hopefully, along with a lot of the other horses that have not been seen, they will turn up soon, especially as the weather gets warmer and for sure by the time summer hits and they are on the top.
