HC Minis - new pics pg 172

[AnnaC]

Oh Chanda, many congrats on your gorgeous little colt - but then with such a beautiful Momma, what more could you expect!

Could we have a few more pics of him to drool over please!

 

[chandab]

Of course, you can. I got a few naked pics this morning, but he's always darting behing mom, so hard to get good pics of him.

 

[chandab]

Oh just beautiful....or should I say HANDSOME, so I don't offend him! I just love those long legs and that pretty face!!!

Me, too.

Three years ago, when Caddy had her filly, she was such a chunky little girl; but this little boy is so refined, compared to her. [Dolly is a love, and has attitude to burn, but not as nice as this little guy.

Here's Dolly on her birth day:



Just look at how filled out she was. [And, she's still a little porker.]

 

[chandab]

Yes, this little guy is REALLY nice!!!

Thank you.

So the boy above is tested silver black? Just making sure I understand.

No sorry, he is a silver bay. One of the nicest examples IMHO I see out in the ring

I'm loving your boy!

Very different from the other Caddy foal! I'm sure he'll overcome the shyness soon... they usually do and then you can't get rid of them!

wow congrats Chanda your new little baby is just adorable!!! I love the silver bays/ blacks! stunning little baby! definitely has to have cat in his name

whats his mumma's show name? so glad he is safe and sound and healthy and strong! YAY

Oops, I meant to say tested silver bay. Can't even blame that on mare stare lack of sleep, she didn't give me a chance to stare that closely.

And, sorry for any confusion, this newest foal isn't related to Caddy's foal, just showing the picture so you guys could see what I have to compare him with. Caddy is my palomino mare, and the sire to that foal is my tiny little silver smokey brown stallion, Che`.

I've never shown Misty, but her registered name is: Dakota Legends Dustys Early Morn.

Might have to use Top in the name, instead of Cat, just not sure yet.

Thanks for the pictures - he is just so cute and very handsome!! I love your other little filly too, did she staythat colour?

dolly is cremello, so while born with just a hint of color, she is now completely white.

 

[chandab]

All good suggestions, but I think I got the name for him, a friend came up with it.

"HeII Coulee Top a the Morning 2U", barn name "Junior".

I'll try to get more photos after it quits raining and being muddy out. We've got a couple days of wet weather predicted, then we're supposed to get a few nice days.

 

[bannerminis]

Well I am in the same boat - today and tomorrow good but then its back to welly and raincoat season. This weather is driving me MAD

 

[chandab]

No new pics, yet, still too wet. I tried to love on him a little this evening, and he didn't want any part of it. At least with the minis, they are a little easier to restrain than full-size foals; just a hand on the chest and a hand behind the butt and they are trapped. He bucked up a little, and practically sat on my hand. He's such a cute little stinker. Can't wait for dry weather, so he can really stretch his legs.

I've decided mare owners, regardless of actual sleep, can claim baby brain effects during foaling time. After all the mares put us through they can at least let us claim that much

:rofl

I'm waiting on my new batch of FoalTime strips, so I can start testing the other mares. I hadn't realized I was down to my last strip til I tested Misty (I have 3/4 of a strip left, since I only tested Misty once). Oh, and FoalTime has a new ordering site: http://www.ibisequine.com/Foal-Time_Milk_Test_Kit.html Link should go right to the strip ordering page. The other girls are hopefully still a couple weeks away, if they go about 320 days like MIsty did. so, I have a little bit of time to start testing them.

Thanks for the new link

Any chance of some new pics or is it still raining?

 

[chandab]

Its not currently raining, but it is still sloppy outside, and its not easy to get decent pics in the barn, but I'll see what I can do this afternoon, maybe.

She still has a week or two to go, but next up, should be Tana.

Tana is a silver bay (maybe, dun, too) granddaughter of HillTops Little Vegas; her sire was a silver black leopard appy, her dam a buckskin dun daughter of Vegas. She might have minimal appy characteristics, but I'm not sure (looks like she has a litlte mottling around her muzzle). She was bred to Topper.

Tana:



Picture is a few years old, but its one of my favorites.
