We have footage on the Kiger HMA and the largest of the bands has two grulla stallions and four or five grulla mares so we have seen grulla foals every year. By the gather next year, we should see grullas in the pens and available. I know of another grulla stallion who seems to run his own small band and hangs out in the Lambing Grounds, but he has dun mares and foals with him. And there is the grulla colt in these pictures. The mares seem to be lighter than the boys - they are Kiger Dundee csilvery. The thin mare in the photos is the exception - most of them look much in much better condition. Could her age be a part of it? Anyone else hear about Morgan blood in the gene pool? How about Welch? Interesting story and our documentary will mention it I think. Mind you the documentary will be at least another 18 months to completion. Fit is going to the HMA with us next spring so I can fim from horseback. That will be interesting. Now that I am riding him I can teach him that the equipment won't bite him from above. He is quite used to being filmed and I have a funny piece where he is trying to help Rick with the camera.
