Check him out! Here comes the newest Salt River baby marching with his beautiful band. He is always right behind his mom and right in front of his dad for protection!

🐴 He is Light Rain’s very first offspring, and while he looks very different right now, we predict he’ll grey out and look just like him in a few years!

👀 Be sure to watch for the comparison photo. You’ll see exactly where he gets that very special coloring.

🏔️ His family band lives in what we call “The Hills,” the northern quadrant of the Salt River wild horse Habitat.

We’ve received so many questions about the mountain lion, and of course, we’re concerned too. But thankfully, we have never had a baby preyed upon in The Hills and we hope they stay there. We’re hoping and praying this little guy stays safe, grows strong, and grows up FAST! 🙏❤️
