Elusive Calico Filly Found !

Dear Readers,
Do you remember Sage, the sorrel filly I adopted from BLM's disastrous 2010 round-up? She was part of the herd I observed to write my Phantom Stallion books. Sage was two years old when I loosed her and Ghost Dancer into the 5,000 fenced acres of the Wild Horse Sanctuary in Shingletown, California.
Both mares seemed to disappear.
Until now....

Subject: Sage???

Hi Terri,

Could this be Sage? I compared these to a photo you sent me. That pic doesn't show her legs so I'm not sure she has any white on her legs...but this resembles her very much, I think.

The way her forelock "parts" in the middle" and the way the blaze closest to the forelock is shaped. It's difficult to tell for certain, tho. I noted that in the pics I've attached the part of her blaze closest to the muzzle/nostrils "comes in/narrows" more than it appears to in your photo.

What do you think?

Thanks so, so much for finding her!
Talk to you more later!

Calico Horses online adoption

Dear Readers,
I've asked myself this question dozens of times & now I need your opinions.
If you look here:Calico Mountain horses you'll see many up for Internet adoption.
Look carefully, though, at the young gelding number 1143 and the mare I've been calling Ghost Dancer #0832.
Here's the question: Don't they have amazingly similar conformation? You'll have to look at he full body photos to really see it.
I'll have an update on the Tuscarora mustangs, soon.
Short story: BLM got the go-ahead to round up the horses, but they have to let the press and public watch.

Reading rocks.
Round-ups don't.

Terri
