2019 Pryor Foal # 16

80288481_2768916503187967_7482150453484978176_o

The Sixteenth 2019 Pryor foal was born sometime around November 1 to Jasmine and Doc.  Jasmine is the 2009 daughter of Aztec and Cloud.  Doc is the 2003 son of Winnemucca and Little Foot.

The foal is a filly and the name that has been chosen is Talulah.

I found that there are three meaning to this name.  The first one that came up was:  An Online Australian Woman’s Boutique.  Surprised by this, I googled it again.  This time from Wikipedia:Talulah Jane Riley-Milburn[1] (born 26 September 1985), known professionally as Talulah Riley, is an English actress.  Still thinking that there had to be more, I googled it again and found this:  The name Talulah means Leaping Water and is of Native American origin. Talulah is a name that’s been used by parents who are considering baby names for girls. Choctaw.

Okay, I think the last meaning is the one I will think of when I say this name, since the announcement of the name did not include what meaning it was intended for.

Welcome to the Pryors beautiful little filly!  These photos were taken by Jack Sterling on December 3 (Thank you Jack for the use of your photos).  As you can see, she seems to be doing quite well.  Looking forward to seeing this little one!

2019 Pryor Foal # 10, Oceana’s Story

Oceana and her new colt Titan.

2019 Pryor Foal # 10 was born to Oceana and Grijala.  Oceana is the 2013 (born in October that year) daughter of  Tecumseh and Galadrial.  Grijala is the 2006 son of Cavelita and Conquistador.  The foal is a colt and has been named Titan.

The powerful Grijala with bachelors: Knight, Gringo and Inali, June 2015

I remember the first time that I saw Oceana.  I was instantly in love with this special girl.  She was born late in the year ( late September) to a special couple, Tecumseh and Galadrial.  Their story is one that I have told many times on the mountain, and should write a blog post about it. Oceana was a great surprise to all of us that have followed this group, and after looking back at old photos and recalling their story, I guess it would be fair to say that Oceana is my favorite mare on the mountain.

Oceana and Tecumseh, May 2015

I first saw Oceana in May of 2015.  She was a small, sturdy, fuzzy little girl, who idealized her father and and captured my heart.  Surrounded by not only Galadrial and Tecumseh, but also by Gringo and Beulah.  This unusual band of 4 would take great care of her.  Despite being born late and a little small, Oceana became very independent.

It was clear the spring of 2016, that Oceana had a big attraction to the powerful stallion Grijala.   She joined his band at a young age, and he was always seen as being kind and gentle to her.

In late June of 2017, Abbie, along with myself and a group of students, discovered a new born foal with Docs band.  This foal did not belong to this band.  Abbie and suspected that Oceana was pregnant, and that this may be her foal.  Somehow, this young foal got separated from its band.  Here is a photo of the foal that Abbie and I named Hope Ryden. ( Not to be confused with the foal that Jasmine had a few months later, also called Ryden) You be the judge.  We’ll never know for sure, but seeing her new foal made both feel we had been right.  You can read that post here:  Hope

Regardless of the past, I do know that we now have a beautiful little colt with fantastic parents.  I could not be happier for this amazing filly that has grown into a beautiful mare.
