Daniela foaled!

[Charlotte]

Of course, I haven't really seen what he looks like because he has had 2 or more blankies on since he was born!

Daniela is being SUCH a good mother to her first baby and at 27 3/4" had an easy delivery. I 'think' this little one is leggy but it has to warm up enough to get the blankets off before I can be sure.

The only thing I can see is a wonderful little head and Skipper's hookey little ears.

And believe it or not, he is at least heterozygous tobiano! Solid black with one hind sock and a coronet. Wouldn't it be funny if he is HOMOZYGOUS tobiano like his auntie Paradigm?!

Here are a few of his.....close relatives.

Now I have a question. All of the foals pictured above are by Star Skipper and out of mares that are full sisters. So what do you call these foals in relation to each other? They aren't 'full brothers'....I guess, but what are they?

Happy dancing here.

Congratulations on your live healthy and adorable foal! Can't wait to see him without the blankets but of course you knew we would want photos even if covered!

I have no idea about the relationship question but am curious because our stallion has a lot of... close (famous) relatives too and we never know what to call them!

 

[epetrilli]

Congratulations Charlotte! I'm anxious to see the rest of him. I think he chose the coldest day of the year to make his appearance.

thanks epetrilli! 'brosins' works for me.

OHMT, how do you come up with 5/6th? I need an explanation.

I am so proud of Daniela. She's being SUCH a good mom. And I'm just beyond wanting to take his blankies off for a quick peek, but it's so cold here now and his well being is more important than my wants. He's in a deeply bedded stall with infrared heater and one single layer fleece blanket with another double layer one on top. We have him on camera and while checking just now I find he's doing 'airs above the ground'.

:

Can't wait to see him in the show ring next year!

5/6 of the names on the papers are the same

It's not exact, but it's what I've always used because I didn't know what to call them either.

Congrats on your adorable foal.

I know in Quarter Horses I used to hear the term --three quarter brother or sister.

 

[rimmerpaints]

CONGRATS!!! SWEET BABY

 

[supaspot]

congratulations , cant wait to see him undressed !

 

[RockRiverTiff]

What a nice way to start the foaling season! Can't wait to see more of him!

 

[little lady]

Congrats Charlotte!

Can't wait to see him unwrapped.

I know in Quarter Horses I used to hear the term --three quarter brother or sister.

I always use 3/4 when referring to foals with the same sire and out of dams that are half sisters.

 

[Charlotte]

Well, the thing is, their pedigrees are identical. So they are full siblings except the dams are different.

I've just deicded I like epitrilli's name....brosins.

That works for me.

 

[ohmt]

Well, the thing is, their pedigrees are identical. So they are full siblings except the dams are different.

Yep, that's why it's 5/6 instead of 6/6

I like brosins too, cute! I'll have to use that one in the future.

 

[vickie gee]

Congrats! Sweeeeet!
