Mouthful of Mane
August 27, 2013
This series of photos is from a couple of years ago. I came across them as I was doing a photo backup and thought they might make a fun post.
It was a cloudy/chilly day in the McCullough Peaks HMA in Wyoming when Tom and I stopped to photograph some stallion action. We spotted the pinto stallion Medicine Boy making his way towards a sorrel band stallion and his mares. Medicine Boy was hoping to steal one of the girls.

The sorrel stallion doesn’t waste any time answering the challenge.
Here the sorrel stallion grabs a mouthful of Medicine Boy’s mane.
And rips it out.
Floating in the air…
With a little chunk of mane left behind, Medicine Boy takes off as fast as he approached.
Stallion battles can be tough, but this one only resulted in a bit of hair loss. 🙂

Chaco and Chiricahua – 2/23/13
February 23, 2013
Thought I’d share an image from my video sequence, “The Stallion and the Foal.” Chaco is the bay and Chiricahua is the pinto. Both were bachelor stallions at the time I photographed this amazing encounter.
The video depicts two stallions fighting for possession of an orphaned/abandoned foal. (The full story can be read on the YouTube link: http://youtu.be/4JKKWF0ZUGk).

Here’s another image I created for a course I’m taking that I thought I’d share… (another McCullough Peaks stallion).
Happy Friday everyone!

A mud encrusted stallion from McCullough Peaks HMA, WY strolls towards the setting sun. Is there any better way to end a day?
