Spring Colt | a 7 Image Story So, strictly speaking, what is a colt? A colt is a male horse younger than four years old. When a colt gets older than four, he is considered an adult and called a stallion if intact, gelding if castrated, or just a horse. Horses can be called by many names, depending upon their age and sex. A foal is a horse of either sex under the age of one year old. A young female horse is called a filly. A horse of either sex between one and two years old is called a yearling. An adult female horse is called a mare. No matter what you call them, young horses are special to all who know them.

Each image will be posted individually this week with a bit more narrative under category Spring Colt.

Gallatin River Ranch | Horse Corral On a late afternoon drive around the ranch several years ago, this horse was awash in sunset light. He almost looked like he had been posed in the wood fence corral for us to capture an image or two. For the whole story with all images, see Gallatin River Ranch | a 7 Image Story.

Misty in Montana

Jun 14, 2017 | AF 80-400mm f4.5-5.6D ED VR, Animals, Daily Image 2017, Horses, Nikon D200

Misty in Montana Misty’s a spirited school horse. She has a habit of only obeying the “right” commands. She determines, very quickly, whether the rider knows what they are doing or not. If she determines she knows more than the rider, she does it her way; which usually makes the rider look like a better rider than they really are.
