Hi

I'm going to atempt to make my own polar fleece foal blankets with velcro chest and tummy strap and I haven't decided if I should put little leg straps on or not ?? I have no idea how big/small I should make them, I'm going to do 3 sizes because I'm unsure of what size the foal will be, can someone please help me out with measurements of their newborn foal blankets please?

also any pictures of handmade ones please

thanks in advance!

I don't have leg straps on mine. Bought one blanket from the store that had leg straps and ended up removing them. The velcro foal jackets fit really well and mine have never slipped. Here's a photo of a handmade one on my foal. I have two sizes - very small and small but my mares are tiny.

Nwwaaa so cute

how many inches do you think it is from neck to tail?

 

[MountainWoman]

I'll go measure and post later so I get it right

 

[Flame]

Thank you so much

I just found out that the foals father has really weird markings he's a Paintaloosa, he looks like one horse from one side and another from the other side.. I'll ask the lady now if I can put a pic up on here, the horse I thought it was was a beautiful black and white paint, oh well I'm sure I'll love him or her to bits

 

[Flame]

Ok I got permission yay

this is Kinvara Gallianos Split Decision the father of flames foal, he is the same horse in every photo lol

 

[Flame]

And this is flames Dad 'Silver Star Golden Chance' in paddock condition but he's still

beautiful

 

What a beautifully unique Pintaloosa! Just stunning! Oooooowwwwww, you know that this means it's possible for this little one to inherit some SPOTS!!!

Her daddy is a handsome boy, too!

 

[Flame]

I wasn't sure at first but he's growing on me lol she told me he was a Paintaloosa so I googled it and there it was

I'm not sure about all the pink around his eye and nose, I hope my little one doesn't inherit that but both flame and splash have the bi eyes blue and brown. Chance has had some beautiful foals to different mares, flames the only odd one out, I'll post some pics I'm not sure if splash has fathered any foals yet I'll have to find out

 

Here in the states, they are called/registered as Pintaloosas. Your little one will most likely not inherit the heavy mottling and sclera he's showing, but hopefully she'll show us she inherited some appy genes from daddy.

Yeah we have pintaloosas too... I'd never heard of a Paintaloosa until just b4 I posted the pic lol it must be a new modern day thing

WOW daddys markings are so very unique!! I've seen plenty of pintaloosas but never like that!!

Definitely the horse of a different color I'd expect to see in the land of Oz!!

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Lol I told you it was a good Idea to get the photo of Dad up !!!!! Had a feeling Someone on here would spot the SPOTS !!! LOL

Yes Flame was very friendly that day she was following my daughter Kelsie around everywhere like she was protecting her it was so cute

I love it when she's not moody
