Ireland and Galaxy have a new foal. Discovered yesterday. I had a feeling by the photos I had been seeing, and what I had witnessed last summer, that Ireland was very close. I had witnessed Galaxy breeding her about a week after she had little Pegasus last year.

Ireland is the 1997 daughter of Isabella and Raven. Galaxy is the 2006 son of Quelle Colour and Lakota.

This little one looks to be a filly. No word on a name yet. Pegasus love having a playmate!

Thank you Jack Sterling and Colleen Kilbane for allowing me to use your photos! I’ll be getting some of my own in just a few days!

Another 2016 Pryor foal has been discovered!

I just received word from Ryan at the BLM field office this morning that Hatallii, who is currently in Morning Stars band has foaled.

Here is a link on the BigHorn Canyon Facebook page telling about this new little one. Click on Foal, to go there. Thank you for sharing the news!

Hataalii is the 2007 daughter of Sapo and Shaman. Morning Star is the 1996 son of Washakie and Plenty Coups.

Quest, named by Abbie, was not seen with his band this week. (5-20-16). Rest in peace little one.

2016 Pryor Foal # 2

13009714_10208692983739137_1190431107_o — Quanah with his mom Halcyon.

The second known Pryor foal born in 2016 was discovered by Dawn Ness and Danielle on April 9, 2016. Thank you Dawn for allowing me to use your beautiful photos!

The foal is a colt, and has been named Quanah. Quanah was a Comanche Chief. Quanah was born to the stallion Blue Moon and the mare Halcyon. Blue Moon is the 2001 son of Sitka and Shaman. Halcyon is the 2007 daughter of Coronado and Blue Sioux. They make beautiful foals, that seem to end up very identical! Welcome to the Pryors little one!

Below is Halcyon last born offspring, Olivia. I am pretty sure Quanah will have the same coloring when he matures, just like his brother Miocene and sister Nirvana.

Once again, Kitalpha defies the odds, despite being on PZP, and gives birth to a beautiful foal. I believe this foal is a colt, born sometime during the last week of March.

I love this mare. Kitalpha is one of the wildest on the range and has quite a story of survival. Click on KITALPHA to read that story, one that I published back in 2012.

Kitalpaha is the 2010 daughter of Buffalo Girl and Durango. The likely sire is Hickok, he is the 2007 son of Belle Starr and Starbuck.

The foal has been given the Quasar. I want to thank the photograher Sandy Sisti for allowing me to use her beautiful photos. I am looking forward to seeing her on the range again this year!
