Split

Thursday November 17 2011

The herd is split into three: 8 across the crick up on the hillside grazing; Stormy and his pal Tex (aka Ted) at the hay, Batman in between.

Tex stands and waits by his buddy but stares alertly toward the big herd. Should he stay with Stormy, or wait with Batman, or return to the herd?


Batman is undecided.

Herd?


Or Stormy, Tex, and hay?


Batman casts his die with the herd. He crosses the creek. Tex slowly follows.

Stormy neighs... and follows his pal.


The BFFs run to rejoin the herd.

Here's to Bromance

Thursday April 7 2011

While some things have changed, not much has really changed since Tex (now named Ted, but Stormy still calls him Tex) arrived on the Owyhee scene a year ago.

As we saw in BFFs and The Bromance Continues and Mutt and Jeff, Stormy and Tex still continue to be Best Buds.

Tex doesn't worry so much when Stormy goes off on a rare ride, and Stormy just eats while Tex is away on a trail ride learning to be an endurance horse, but when they're back in the same pasture, Tex is never far from Stormy's side.

Maybe it's their shared sports background (the racetrack) that makes this Bromance work. Maybe they were together in a former life. Or maybe they were just meant to be together in this one.
