HC Minis - new pics pg 172

[chandab]

OOooooowwwwww.....sounds exciting!! Come on Bonny!!!!

Just checked her, got the "what are you doing out here look" and that's about it.

And yes, you should mark the date on your calendar!!

Since I don't really want to rebreed these mares for next year, I'm hoping there was no hanky panky; especially since it would likely be Misty in heat (hadn't planned on breeding her at all).

 

[chandab]

You know girls.......sometimes they just have their own ideas~!

As long as its the same as mine, everyone will be ok.

 

[chandab]

Oh and Bonny is 323 days today.

Oooop's - naughty girls!!

Wow - could be an exciting night for you and Bonny - fingers crossed for a safe foaling!!

 

[chandab]

2:10 am, just got in about 10 minutes ago from checking Bonny. She has dripping white milk, so I'll probably stay right here and check her more often, rather than try to go back to bed for a couple hours. Still got the what you doing out here look. She actually had a little tension back in her tail at this check compared to right before midnight when I checked, but when I touched the top of her hip, she kind of dropped out from under my touch (tried to touch again, and no reaction, so?).

 

[chandab]

Just got in from the 3am check and we have a baby. I have no power at that barn, so by flashlight it looks to be silver something with at least one blue eye (probably just baby blue, but not sure) and a little white on its face. got Bonny and baby into the foaling stall (after kicking Misty and Junior out, she didn't want to give it up). I brought some beet pulp shreds to the house to soak for Bonny, then will leave them alone to bond til after daylight (as if I'll be able to go back to sleep). [baby still wet, and a little down on its hind legs, but that could just be how new it is. Probably won't look til morning as to what it is.]

Oh, and after I got them both into the stall, baby was trying to nurse and was in the right area. Will head back out with the soaked beet pulp in just a minute or two (got to like how fast shreds soak up water).

Congrats! Look forward to the morning update

Congrats! Look forward to the morning update

well, its 6:25am, and I'm not quite awake... Oh, wait a minute, you want a baby update.

Will get you one as soon as I've had breakfast and can get moving, I'm not too awake, yet. Will try to remember to take my camera with me, but as she's in the barn, I don't know how good the pics might be.

congrats Chanda looking forward to seeing pics and hearing another update

 

[chandab]

Gotta move some panels around, then maybe I can get some pics of him outside. HOpefully, I'll get it done today.

 

[chandab]

So now we know it's a colt? Congratulations! Anxiously awaiting pictures!

I'm pretty sure its a colt, but I was checking with a flashlight at 3am, so...

I'm about to go back out with the camera. He has the bluest eyes, and I don't know where it would have come from, unless it is just baby blues. [How long to baby blues last?]

 

[AnnaC]

Oh Brilliant!! Many congratulations Chanda and WELL DONE BONNY!!

:ThumbUp

Really looking forward to the pics when you can.

Ok, here you go, pics of the new boy plus Monte and Junior.

Don't know what color to call this guy, and don't know where the blue eyes come from.





And, Monte:



And, Junior:



And, Monte's front with Junior's backside (you can see he's a little bit cow hocked, but not too bad and hopefully he'll grow out of it as he fills out):

Handsome guy - might he be palomino ?

Pretty Momma too

Handsome guy - might he be palomino ?

Doubt it, he's way to dark with a gray cast to his coloring. I'll try for more pics to get a better shot at his coloring.

Pretty Momma too

Thank you. she's my Little Kings Buckeroo God (AKA: George) daughter.

What a pretty little guy!! Love the blaze face!!! Looks like he could almost walk under momma!!!

He walked under momma once while I was out there, but as soon as he finishes unfolding, that may no longer be possible.

Congrats on your gorgeous new boy and you other 2 boy are growing up very nicely indeed. I am going to guess Silver SmokeyBlack + splash and that maybe where he is getting hi blue eyes

Excuse my typos but my laptop died and I am using the iPad which is a pain in the behind and for that reason I am not on a whole lot

Thank you, very much.

That's my guess at the moment, but I'm not sure where the splash might come from, unless Topper is minimal splash or Bonny is hiding it under double cream, but I think her dam was solid with no white.

Here's Topper's face:

Oh he's so cute Chanda - and I love his colour, whatever it is!!
