Fourth Foal for Maple Hollow Farm

Maple Hollow Farm · Apr 18, 2009

COLT!!! ugh....O well he is an absolutely gorgeous bay and white and is marked just like his sire (barely at all lol). He is going to mature right around the 34" mark and should make a great show gelding someday!

His dam is a 34" Palomino mare, Carrie A Snowflake:

and his sire is a 28.5" Blk/wht stallion, Maple Hollows Sir Spot:

And here he is:

Congratulations! He sure does look like his daddy.

What a pretty mare, in the first picture she looks like a unicorn

It took me a moment to realize it was her ear and not a horn (thought she was in costume lol) on her forehead.

Thanks! And thanks for the compliment on the mare too, she is really fun to drive. We bought her as a broodmare and she hadnt been driven for a few years and I just decided to hook her up and she took to it like an old pro and just looks good under harness. Hopefully she will pass her mindset on to this guy so that he will be a good driving horse when he grows up. I still dont see the unicorn though...I keep looking hoping to see it but....nope still dont lol! O well at least unicorns are pretty so I will just add that as a bonus!

LOL, its the outside ear that I saw and my eyes located it somewhere near the centre of her forehead. LOL. Thus she was a unicorn, a darn pretty one too!

I think a mare has a great deal to do with her foals mind set since they learn from her how to approach the world. That said I have a now yearling colt that is nothing at all like his mom. She is sensible and clear thinking (my driving horse of choice when she isn't bred) while he is a complete wild man and always has been (even his sire is a sensible horse). lol So hopefully your little guy follows the normal path and takes after his mom.
