Kumi is from one of "The Diamonds" (Diamond Hills, Diamond Hills North, or Diamond Hills South) though I'm not sure which one.

 Buck & Bald HMA includes 4 parallel valleys, with mountain ranges bordering them: Long Valley, Ruby Valley, Huntington Valley, and Long Valley. The area is characterized by extremes of temperature (ranging from minus 30 in winter to 110 in summer) and low rainfall. The horses tend to be in the 14 - 15 hand size range, with a variety of colors, mainly the solid colors of bay, black, & red, with some buckskins, palominos, and sabinos. The horses are believed to be descended from Pony Express and Cavalry remounts, as well as local ranch stock. The Buck & Bald horses make excellent pack string horses and versatile ranch horses. Buck & Bald produces some Curly horses. |

 Audrey, is my colt's dam. She is currently residing at Lifesavers Wild Horse Rescue in Lancaster, CA. She is approximately 12 years old and was brought in by the BLM from the White River HMA (NV 409) in February 2005, very pregnant with my colt, who was born at the Ridgecrest facility. They were both then transported to Lifesavers and I adopted him in August 2005. |
 Audrey's colt, Spirit Dancer, is now 14 months old and thriving.
I hope to ride endurance with him when he matures. I am thrilled to have him as my equine partner, and would highly recommend mustangs to anyone who appreciates superb horses.
