she does not have black points on her ears or muzzle in those Pictures.. Id lean more towards a sooty Chestnut. She does have a very nice trot from that picture though!

She looks black with poor coat health to me. Might be a very dark brown.

Thank you Ammit! I had a strong feeling that's what it was!

@annismyrph I totally forgot you had to be logged in to see the video, I went ahead and uploaded the video to YouTube

In the video she looks very typical for a faded black, but could definately also see she could be a dark bay/brown.

@LEAcres, please keep us updated on her !

@annismyrph @fiddler Absolutely!! We want to document the whole process so there will be a lot of updates!

She looks very much like she's faded black in the tiktok video.

Ah man I can't get tiktok to work either

Wow, cool looking mare!

Looks like black to me as well. Can't wait to see her in a year with healthy eating.

That's a palomino right behind her in the first shot. :)

Update?

OH wow ! Thats gonna be hard on both of you I think. Take some extra time with both of them if you can. And am So Very Sorry for your Loss LE >< So very very sorry.

@Fiddler Thankfully she seems to want to get close to my 2 year old AMHA filly but she always goes back to the old man and he has gotten close to her as well. He will call for her when he wants her to come back and she comes right back to his side.. Without a doubt tomorrow is going to be hard for both of us... 21 years of countless years hidden within his mane just hasn't been long enough.. I'll let her say her goodbyes as long as she needs after he's gone but I think she will be okay..



This is Rune with my 2 year old, Blossom!

Oh that's nice, i'm glad you have another horse to keep her company.

It's been a little over 3 weeks since losing Zeffirelli and my husband impulsively bought a little yearling shetland filly... at first I was a little annoyed but she is so sweet and loving so I couldn't stay mad. She's really helped all of us heal over the last 2 weeks! Rune has been keeping off to herself with the other mini mares so I took the opportunity to use this time to try to get her to build a bond with Zevah. It's been a few days now and they have been attached at each other's hips! Putting them away tonight, Rune didn't follow Z into the round pen with the attached run in we used in Rune's gentling. She kind of squirreled and went past the gate to go look at the Livestock Gaurdian puppy (even though she would love the chance to unalive him at any given moment). They were both in a frenzy until I could talk Rune into going through the gate because I didn't have her halter with me. So I'm counting it as a win with the realization that I have my work cut out for me now with this new found bond :))

Rune's sunfaded, copper deficient, coat hasn't fully healed but she's darkened up quite a bit. I know I'll probably not see her true coat color until next spring and I haven't gotten around to getting her color tested (it's on the to-do list)

They look adorable together! And the shetland filly has such a sweet little face. :x

It's been 2 months since the last so I figured I'd update on the BLM mustang filly, Rune..

She has definitely taken up a lot of my time. I want her to be the best she can be and show everyone how amazing they are! So far shes doing a really good job of doing just that! She was featured on the BLM Eastern States Facebook page twice now! She is gaining weight and growing like a weed! Her coat is so dark! With it healing, it definitely settled any question that she was anything but Black!
Now we are on the hunt for one of her siblings! I was just approved by the BLM to be able to adopt another mustang! Including Rune, she was rounded up with 8 foals in her herd.. I know where 4 of the 8 are (3 fillies including Rune were adopted out, 1 filly sold as Sale Authority last month), it's just a waiting game to see when the last 4 will be posted! Thankfully my application is good for a full 365 days!

Top picture is the day she came home, bottom picture was the other morning :x



We also did an updated video on her tiktok account with how tolerant she is after 4 months being home!

She looks so good!

so what color is she?

@Fiddler, I got confused to. The “anything but black” would mean she is NOT black. “Anything but” means “not at all” or “not in any way”. She is definitely black.

@LEAcres, no need to apologize! She’s very pretty!
