[vickie gee]

Megan, she is gorgeous! So much color.

 

[a mini dream come true]

How absolutely gorgeous!!. She is a real beauty. Laney did very good for you. And you need to pat yourself on the back for all the excellent care that you have given Laney.I hope Ricky is not feeling too left out. He'll have a chance to meet Tinkerbelle when it's time. Congratulations again, she is just precous.

Love her markings.

cassie will have a fit when she sees that blue eye

Megan she is such a doll, I can't wait for it to warm up so we can see what she is hiding under her pj's

oh my I certainly did!!!!

wow Megan! A beautiful pintaloosa filly with a blue eye!!!! WOW!!

Laney

excellent job cooking that baby honey!

she is stunning!!! just absoloutly gorgeous!!

glad everything went SOOO well and I got to watch

I'm sorry I didn't ring you Renee.... wasn't sure what to do there.

has marestare recorded the birth yet Megan? I know there was no alert on it at all until I hit high alert when I saw her foaling so hope they caught it for you!!

can't see them at the moment but what a sweetheart she is!!

 

[MBhorses]

congrats she is so cute.

I think one of her eyes isn't going to be sky blue like the other one. I had a filly one time that the dark blue eye turned brown eye later, so she had one blue and one brown eye.

The white on her butt could be pintos patterns.I taught I had pintaloosa one time she was all paint

here is my 08 filly i told you about shaved. my filly had two pintos parents I was told she could be homozygous for tobiano never tested. Your filly could be homozgyous since both parents are pinto.

she on back it is like your filly. wait til you shave I bet it will look like my filly back.

Thanks everyone!

Should I stall them tonight or let them roam in the pen? It is going to be in the 30s tonight so I hope she is warm in that jacket!

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Oh my, lots of color under her blanket!

 

[MeganH]

How do I measure her cannon bone? Is it from the middle of the knee down to the point where the fur meets the top of the hoof?

Tink is finding her legs today. Having fun running circles around her momma lol

 

[Eagle]

I agree with Diane, keep them in at night for at least a week until Tink is stronger, with people and dogs it just isn't worth the risk. If you put them out in the morning for the day they will be fine. JMHO

 

[AnnaC]

I also agree with Renee and Diane, keep them both in at night for a couple of weeks to be safe. It will also allow little Tink to get plenty of rest while she is gaining her strength during these early weeks. She certainly is a beautiful little girl - I love watching her and Laney!

 

[MeganH]

I am definitely going to keep them in at night for a bit. I think Laney likes it because she can rest more in the stall and not chase Tinkerbelle around.

Time for some pictures

And Ricky determined to be the center of attention. "Look Ma... I'll take all three of these towels off the fence so you HAVE to look at me. One down.. two to go."

 

[MeganH]

Here is the not so blue blue eye.. it is really dark but has a blue tint.

 

[bannerminis]

She is too adorable for words and love that last pic as you can just see the cheekyness LOL

 

[palsminihorses]

Oh Megan, your filly is just the cutest ever! I love all of her coloring! And such a pretty head, too!

Love the picture of Ricky too!!! You need to send that one in to the AMHA and AMHR magazines.

 

[cassie]

she is SOOO gorgeous Megan!! I bet you just LOVE her! I know I do!

Finn is exactly the same with his eyes as Tink, he has one blue eye and one eye that has blue tinges... not sure if that will turn brown as he ages but sounds alot like Tink

she sure looks to be a cheeky thing!! I bet she is going to be SO full of herself in about a weeks time!!

she really is the most lovely little filly Megan!

Ricky is HILARIOUS!!! such a character! hugs for you big brother!! lol have you been able to measure her yet Megan?

even just measure her whole height fun to see how tall she is and how tall she should get

hugs and kisses for baby Tink!!

 

[MeganH]

Thanks everyone!

She is such a doll. A very sweet little foal that loves scratches and kisses. Laney is such a good mom too. She was brilliant with the delivery and is very loving and attentive with her baby. I love to hear her talk to her. Its very low and gentle.

Laney has specks of blue in her eyes you have to really look for too. I think Tink will have one bright blue and one darker one.

I never even thought of sending Ricky's pictures to the magazines. He is so funny. I was standing on his side of the fence taking pictures and he came and stood a little behind me at my side and was looking at Tinkerbelle. I looked at him and went back to taking pictures and he gives me a quick nip in the butt and stands there like he didn't do anything at all.. looking at Tink again lol. The vet is coming out next week to make sure he is ready and will geld him if all is ok. I can't wait till he calms down a bit. He will be a great gelding.

 

[cassie]

its all very exciting for you Megan

!!!!! she is absoloutly stunning! please let me know how Ricky goes with the gelding... how old is he now?

 

[MeganH]

He is almost 11 months old now. I am nervous for how he will do for the actual gelding but I have faith all will heal well and he will be a changed man LOL

 

[cassie]

naw!! wow that has gone fast! how tall is he now?

I hope everything will go will for him to!

 

[MeganH]

I need to measure him and Tinkerbelle. I think he was a little over 29 inches last time I tried. He sure has his daddy's handsome face. His face is just gorgeous

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

I can't get over how pretty she is! Amazing coloring. Just love her
