The Painted Ladies of Sand Wash Basin. Scenic, Razzle and Dazzle, three generations of mustang mares, have been known collectively as The Painted Ladies for a very long time. When Felicity was born in 2013, she was included as well, making four generations. In the wild, once a young horse reaches 2 years of age, both fillies and colts, they generally leave the band they were born into to start their own families. Contrary to wild horse tradition, both Dazzle and Felicity have chosen to stay with their mothers. Scenic, the granddam of our herd, would stay with the Ladies for a year or two then move to another band for a while before coming back to her granddaughter’s family. In 2021, the Bureau of Land Management conducted a bait and trap gather in Sand Wash Basin and Razzle, Dazzle and Felicity were captured with their current band stallion, Saratoga (aka The King). In September 2021, Scenic was captured in the helicopter round up. With the support of our many followers all over the world, we were able to adopt all four with the sole purpose of keeping them together as they have chosen to do in the wild. They are one of the most incredible gifts to have safely in our sanctuary.
