Description
It's always a good day when I see my favorite stallion, Washakie, and it's an even better day when I see him looking so well going into winter.
As he's done for the last few winters, Washakie has banded up with a few bachelor stallions, including his nemesis/BFF, Wapiti. Wapiti is the young bay stud who dogged Washakie for two years, and eventually put that big gash in Washakie's left side. That terrible wound eventually healed, but as a consequence, an ailing Washakie was not able to hold onto his band. He lost his three mares in 2017, but not to Wapiti. Since that time, the mares have been with the stallion, Signal, with a defeated Wapiti joining up with his frenemy, Washakie. The relationship between Washakie and Wapiti is one of the most perplexing on the range, but I'm glad they have each other, especially during winter.
