HC Minis - new pics pg 172

[chandab]

And, now I"m wondering if Junior might be silver bay instead of silver black. He had such a silver haze when he was born, I thought silver black; but now has more reddish color to his body with the silver haze mostly in his mane and tail.

Topper could be hiding splash, the way those white feet ae flat rather then blended or 'wobbly' is a splash trait and I think the white on his face could be as well. Although I'm still a bit of a rookie at picking possible patterns in thier very minimal forms, but I would certainly so its possible.

Of course Bonny could also be hiding it as you said and they could still be baby blues.

I think I need a pic

 

[chandab]

I'll try to get more pics in the next day or two, hopefully he'll be more unfolded too, he's still a bit wobbly. But, so dang cute.

oh Chanda, he is GORGEOUS!!! I hope his eyes stay blue for you!! just too sweet!

big congrats on your newest baby! good job Bonny!

 

[chandab]

Thank you, Cassie. He's something else. Will try to get more pics soon, perhaps when he's a bit more unfolded. And, I need to get a stick on him and see just how tall he is, he seems smaller than the other two to me.

My MIL came down to check out the new foal and took a couple pics, I'll share one or two of those.

Here's a cute shot of his face:



And, a couple random shots:







I won't complain, but if I did; my complaint would be that she doesn't get down to their level for pics.

Well look what I get for going out to the fields and hauling in the hay for the winter.

I was to tired to look at the computer but lo and behold I missed your announcement

of a beautiful baby boy.

Love that offset blaze ..... there is something about them that really gives them character.

Did you measure him yet? He's looks bitty?

Congrats!

Thank you. He's so dang cute. Can't wait to get him out with the other boys, but better give him anohter day or two to gain strength, and then wait til after the two hooligans have run themselves into nap time.

I haven't measured him, yet, but he seems smaller than the other two were at birth. All three mares are right 38". He did walk under mom, yesterday.

I love his little blaze, so cute.

Thank you.

Oh he is looking so handsome- love his color too what ever it is, and that blaze is precious

Oh Chanda he is just so cute - no wonder you are over the moon!

 

[Eagle]

Oh wow Congratulations He is adorable and that colour is fab

 

[Wings]

Now that is a very splashy (and adorable) face and those eyes are far too clear and bright to be baby blues!!

I reckon you've got a little dose of splash coming in to play!

Well, I'm pretty sure mom is smokey cream (registered as cremello, but I don't think so; plus looking at baby, she has silver too), and Daddy is bay; so just knowing that choices are smokey black (likely), buckskin (not likely), palomino (not likely) any with or without silver (likely has silver). So, I"m guessing smokey silver black. and, just too cute.

Looks like I got lots of silver this year.

 

[chandab]

He is just gorgeous!!!!

Thank you very much.

He's so quiet, even at this age, compared to the other two. I'm pretty sure he is also smaller. As far as I can tell, he's peeing, pooping, and nursing as he should, but he seems to sleep alot. While I've not seen him poop, I've stepped in it; I have seen him pee and I've seen him nurse (seems to latching on, sucking and swallowing fine). We've been unseasonably warm for us, so that could play a part, too.

My lovely vets say that they like to see at least 26 good sucks every time a foal drinks (they deal with big horses as well as minis), I tell them that they are welcome to come and lay flat on the ground next to my mares and foals to count the sucks if they want, but I'm not doing it!! LOL!!

Cant wait for some more pics of your beautiful boy Chanda.

I don't think I"d be doing it either. This morning when I walked into the barn, he jumped right up, so we're improving.

Cant wait for some more pics of your beautiful boy Chanda.

I'll get some more taken eventually.

Poor little guy must of fallen asleep then rolled under the fence, as when I went out to check he was in the wrong pen, and mommy was 10x more upset than he was, as you can see by this picture:



And, shortly after reuniting them:



So far, he is so very sweet, and is willing to come up to me; we'll see how long it lasts.

 

[AnnaC]

Aww bless him! Hope Bonny didn't bite that little bottom too hard! LOL!!
