“Lonely Girl” . . APPARENTLY N6ELS DELEGATE’S PRIDE (CHIP) HAD LOST ALLLL OF HIS MARES! . . He found Ronni here on the beach, then Johnny’s Star and Moonshadow wandered down. He proceeded across the parking lot towards the pond north of the ranger station. My bet is he will head back to Bayside for Something Special, Susi, Breezy and April Star. And may God have mercy on my poor Corky. 18-years-old, two damaged eyes and he’s not the fighter he once was. . . Mare N2BR Ronni just after sunrise.

“The Angel” . . I am missing dear Angel! I hear she’s headed north! Hope I find her again before summer is out. So very lovely she is! . . N9BFT-KP Alexandria’s Angel.

Beautiful mare N10T Ninka alongside mare M6MS Rosie. Both WERE with General Harker Saturday in the developed area for the summer. But stallion mayhem overnight...Ninka stayed and ALL of his others are with Mr. Frisky Hooves and General Harker has the mares MFH stole from Lightning a few months ago. SUMMER HORSE DRAMA IS THE BEST!Ninka is the only palomino pinto in the Maryland portion of Assateague Island. (AINS 6/29/19)

Toddlers need naps, too! . . 10-month old colt N9BM-JQ Billy Bob

“How Can You Tell Them Apart?” . . Every detail counts if you want to tell which horse is which on Assateague. The four pictured here are mostly brown! Even those who follow closely might have trouble with a photo like this! . These four mares were with stallion N6BIR-B Bayberry on the OSV last week. There were 10 total. I know who was with him last fall. I had ID’d one sorrel and the four pintos and Bayberry. So that left these four. . On the left, my best guess is M2EINR Miss Priss. To her left, N9BFT Queen. (I know people have said “Queen Latifah” for years, but the AIA folks recently realized she is officially just “Queen”) . The easiest is third from the left, Silver Spurs Island Mist. Her forehead mark is fairly distinct. . And on the far right of the photo, well by process of elimination, I’m guessing N9BFNS Spirit. . Anyone has a better idea, I’m happy to hear it! Disclaimer: MFH, Lightning and Bayberry have played ”Musical Mares” these past months so I could be completely wrong!

Welcome to Assateague! It’s not everyday that you get to see the wild ponies in the ocean, but when it does happen it’s always fun to watch. Tag someone! Video by @lindseybuckman

Mare T3DHT-H Gizmo turned 9 in March. I hadn’t ever seen her without her dam, T3DHT Coco, who is the only buckskin in the herd at the moment. I’ve always seen her with Assateague Lightning’s band. A few weeks ago, it looked like Mr. Frisky Hooves had stolen Gizmo, April and Marina from Lightning. Gizmo is bay and has a super long tail and a right mane. . Here’s one I PRAY will foal soon! She is a beautiful bay! Go make some babies, Gizmo!

”COOLING OFF!” . . Left T3DHT Coco (24 years old), Right T5AR Tara (26 years old) trying to escape Tuesday’s heat. BE SAFE, HUMANS! STAY COOL! . With all the hubbub I hadn’t looked at my second camera! This was with the 55-250mm and heavily cropped. Sometimes you find a gem! So happy!!

Baby Breezy nursing from mama Susi. Breezy is now five months old. She could likely survive without nursing, as she grazes all day like the rest. In this feral herd, if her dam does not foal again the next year, she may nurse well after she turns a year old. I’ve seen one colt still nursing at 21 months! . . N2BHS-MR Sease’s Bay Breeze (Breezy) and her dam N2BHS-M Susi Solé on the beach. (AINS 6/3/19)
