He is so adorable. He'll be a pretty one for sure.

You are probably right. Here is her sire. I was curious more than anything. We aren't planning for any more breedings any time soon.

It won't me post more than one photo sometimes, even when I know they are below the max total size and even if they aren't in the same post. I'll try again later.

Beautiful horses. Your Silver is adorable and her coat is much like Coral's. I think I would also call her dam sorrel with a flaxen mane and tail. Her sire is bay roan. Here is her dam. I have to make a new post for her sire.

Thanks Magic. Both for the information and the compliment. She has a heart of gold and super affectionate. I'd love to see pictures of yours. I wish I knew more about how different genes mix to get different coat combinations. Like did this come from her fathers roan gene? They were all wormed...

I had read somewhere that jack/mare matings had half the chance of horse/horse from genetic standpoint. My personal experience is that my jack is interested but not interested enough to actually complete the mating. If he did it didn't take. He didn't bother my mare at all but he did take a...

We also have a donkey jack that we used to let stay with the girls until he decided one year he found them attractive and started chasing them around. We were also worried for a while that he got our filly but he didn't. Donkey/horse matings aren't often as successful as horse/horse because of...

My stallion is also wintering with the girls over winter and he has had a quarterhorse gelding pasture mate but he absolutely hates our jack who is terrified of him and runs into the woods despite being twice his size.

Hi Littlebuddy and welcome to the forum from NS Canada. Your horses are beautiful.

Its so hard to tell. My mare looked almost the same pregnant as she does when she's not until she was about two months from foaling. Then she looked like she had a medicine ball in there. Can you tell when she's had her last heat or does she not show it like mine? I have a stallion right beside...

I would also agree that gelding him now could be a waste of money and possibly harmful as surgical risks increase with age. It is possible he would be less reactive to mares in heat but the other stud behaviors would probably remain. How is he with geldings? Does he have a buddy?

My little Coral has a very interesting color to her coat and mane but I have no idea what to call it. What would you call it? Also, bits of her winter coat is still hanging on despite it being July. The rest of my herd have fully shed. Is this a sign of a problem? She turned three in May.

49?

I'm new so I don't remember the old look so I guess it doesn't matter. The forum looks nice but load times a little slow... I wondered why and now I understand. I run a different forum elsewhere and these things can be a bit of a pain but once its done and the bugs are worked out I'm sure it...

So adorable. Congratulations on your beautiful foal. Nothing lifts the spirits more than watching a healthy foal learn the ways of the world.

Thanks Peggy. I am in Nova Scotia, Canada. Yes, I agree, nothing beats having someone with practical experience helping you in person. I actually do know a person, the one who sold me the harness, but I feel like they are too busy and I hate imposing. I just remembered they did mention there was...

My mare was was in pretty bad shape when I rescued her. She had a serious parasite load, lice, open wounds on her legs from where she was tangled up in something, and quite emaciated from the poor diet and digestion because of the parasites, despite the bulging belly. She also had patches where...

Sadly, I have no idea of his pedigree. He had no papers which wasn't a concern at the time. I bought him as a pet, my first horse. I didn't think for one second I would be interested in breeding or showing him. I had no idea he would turn out to be so pretty. I tried to contact the previous...

Here is Oscar the friendly jack having a nap in the pasture on a sunny winter day. Not a care in the world.
