Copper's Band! Lead stallion Copper is the sorrel peeking out from behind the three on the left. Yes, there are 4 horses in that group. Look at the ears! Copper was one of the few stallions who successfully kept his band away from the helicopters and the trap during the 2021 roundup!

As most of the herd still lingers around the sheep trough, Moondrinker begins to push his family down the hill to begin their march back into the desert. Led by the beautiful Ares, and flanked by the young colt, Genesis, with Moondog, Ivory, and Opal in the middle.

The Sounds and Colors of Freedom! Thundering hooves, flying dust, and multi-color horses, as some of the north Onaqui herd pick up speed as they near the waterhole. I wish I could share that feeling, but photos will have to do for now.

Bachelors Cowboy and Pluto hang on the fringes of the south herd. They are usually with a couple of other young stallions and are frequently the last to come to the waterhole. They watch stoically as the main herd moves away, and wait for their buddies coming behind them.

Wild horses move! They can cover up to 20 miles in a day. This is just one of the ways they help the environment. This group is from the south Onaqui herd. Having quenched their thirst at the waterhole, they leisurely move toward a quiet place where they will rest for the evening.

! Blood is Thicker! Ranger is probably my favorite young stallion on the south Onaqui range. He stands on the ridge keeping watch as his sire and traveling buddy, Apple, has a drink. These two are inseparable except when there's a lady involved, lol. Then it's every stallion for himself.

It's ! Wild horses love the water. This south Onaqui stallion had just walked in, up to his belly, and lay down. Now he will go roll in the dry desert dirt. It is spa day after all. The joys of !

! Play Fight. Young 4 yr old Dudley gets lessons and practices skills that he will need when he is on his own. At the time of this photo (October) he was still traveling with Copper and his band, but it's just a matter of time before he will be booted out.

It's ! This is Tango of the south Onaqui herd leading his small band across the desert, toward the water hole. He is followed by Butterscotch, their colt Dune, and Freckles, and together they make a small but close-knit family.

! Believe it or not, these two stallions are part of the same 'family' band. The band is led by a third, older, stallion. He allows them to stay because they help protect the mares, but they occasionally battle for position as second in command.

It's !! A couple of wild stallions having a little dust-up on Utah's west desert. These two went at it for several minutes, with the roan on the left finally driving off the young interloper.

! Danzig holds off Thunderstruck in the background, while Burn's mares sneak by. Their ears are all back as they are paying attention to their stallion, Burn, who is driving them from behind. This band has been together for a long time and are so fascinating to watch.
