The Real Phantom, still running free

Dear Readers,
I'm a teeny bit sorry I don't have a new Phantom photo to pass on to you, but I'm awfully happy he's still free.
Here's an up-to-the-minute update from Palomino:


Just wanted to let you know our beautiful man [THE PHANTOM] did not honor us with his presence when we brought the horses in. We have at least two other stallions--one is Snorty--that NEVER come in for the "gathering of the babies"...

Dianne [Nelson, owner of the Sanctuary] said that the ones that are truly still wild do not come in, as they don't really acknowledge us. Snorty and the other stallion never even come down to the feed ground.

I haven't fed in awhile, but Matt actually saw the Phantom a few months ago when he was checking fences. I think that he is happier being out on his own than hanging too close.

I figured you'd want to know. His little man [Phantom's Pride] is hanging out with the geldings now, but he will always be free and a stallion, so we obviously didn't put him in a pen. He is looking very handsome.


Enjoy your mental pictures. Isn't it kind of cool that he's like his namesake from my books? Even though people love him, he's happier running free.

Happy trails,
Terri
