2014 Foals – Wild in the Pryors

Pryor Foal # 20, 2014

October 26, 2014October 27, 2014wildinthepryors

Tonight I checked my email and found an email from my friend Jack Sterling. Jack is from Billings and was up on the mountain early this morning. He discovered Ketchikan with her new colt just below my campsite. This is a really special foal. The bloodline of Ketchikan is very rare, with few horses to carry on his important line. I pray that this beautiful and his mother can survive the winter. He looks strong, and Ketchikan also looks great. The fall weather has been mild and hopefully winter will hold off for a while.

Foal number 20, born to the mare Ketchikan, (born in 2010), daughter of Gold Rush and Two Boots. Father of this foal may be either the stallion Gringo or Tecumseh. The foal is a colt.

Ketchikan's new Colt! 10-26-14 — Ketchikan’s new Colt! 10-26-14

Jack was the person who discovered Odakota also. I look forward to finding out what he chooses for this one.

UPDATE: Jack said he will not be naming this foal, but that there will be an Alaskan theme, named by a friend of Steve and Nancy Cerroni.

Thanks so much Jack!

Pryor Foals # 17 and 18

September 30, 2014September 30, 2014wildinthepryors

I was about to announce the arrival of Galadrials much anticipated foal, when I realized I never made a formal announce for Washakies foal, so this post will cover both of those.

Foal number 17 was born to:

Washakie, daughter of Sitka and Shamen, born in 1994 and Baja, son of Tonapah and Looking Glass, born in 1996, had a foal, born on August 6, 2014. The foal is a filly and was discovered by Shawn Ivie. The chosen name for this filly is Ojai.

Foal number 18 was born to:

Galadrial, daughter of Atlantis and Duke, born in 2006. Sire of this foal could be one of two stallions:

Tecumseh, son of Warbonnet and Flash, born in 1998. OR Gringo, son of Madonna and Duke, born in 2006. I am hoping that the foal is Tecumseh’s.

This foal was discovered by Steve Cerroni of the Pryor Mountain WIld Mustang Center. The photos are from their facebook page.

Steve thought the foal may be a filly, no name has been chosen yet.

This year 18 known foals have been born on the range, with 15 remaining alive. I hope that all survive the upcoming winter. Foals lost this year were from Morgana, Demure and Moenkopi.

Pryor Foal # 8 was discovered yesterday.( by the PMWMC and others). This discovery also brought some other good news that Cloud had also been found. His mares Feldspar (who has the new foal) and Inocentes were back with him too. Still missing from the band are Mica (who has been seen) and Nimbus (who is still with some bachelors).

Foal # 8, born to Feldspar and Cloud. A colt. Name: Ohanzee

Feldspar is the 2005 daughter of Rosarita and Starman, Cloud is the 1995 son of Phoenix and Raven.

Pryor Foal # 7, 2014. Again.

May 7, 2014May 15, 2014wildinthepryors

NOTE: UPDATE at 1:00 pm: (5-7-14) I am having some doubts that this is Fiasco. I think it MAY be Fresia and her foal. Scott the photographer does not have a photo with her looking at the camera so we can see her markings to confirm for sure. I will keep you posted. Consulting others so we can make a decision!

Please place your votes on who you think it is in the comment section! You can see photos of Fresia’s foal (and Fresia) by clicking on this link: FOAL

Either way, cute healthy foal! 🙂

UPDATE: May 15, 2014. The BLM or NPS have not located Custer and band since this possible sighting. But they have seen Fresia. So until I get a confirmation, I am changing this post and calling this foal Fresia’s. Sorry for the confusion. So this is foal number # 7 , again. I thought of just deleting this post, but there have been several interesting conversations in the comments, so I will just leave it up.
