Maple Hollow Farms 2015 Foaling

[misty'smom]

Congratulations on 2 more BEAUTIFUL FOALS!!!!!!! I love the picture of the "Drama Queen and her colt"!! Dreamin's tiny little guy is adorable, can't wait to see some more pictures!!!!!!

I have not been watching much, been exhausted taking care of my hubby but I checked on your cam 1 tonight and there is a big blurrrrrr right smack dab in the middle of of your cam!!! But I guess it is ok since they all have already foaled!!!! Lol

I have been slacking posting updates! Sorry about that but been busy! Chickadee foaled yesterday on cam1! She was such a sneaky girl too as she didnt have a "ready" udder, figured she had a couple more days but looked on the monitor and there was a little foal running around the stall! She had a perlino or cremello filly. Apparently Chickadee must be a smokey black which is possible as her sire is a buckskin leopard. Not the color I even thought was possible but thrilled with her! She is tiny, refined, and correct! Will get some good pics of her hopefully soon!

Silverbelle is I think 337 days today on Cam2 so any extra eyes are appreciated! We will need any extra views this weekend as we can get as mom and I will be at a show so our husbands are in charge of mare watching and foaling! *cringe* lol

On cam 1 Flicka is still in the middle with a fairly full udder at 321 days, could go anytime too. Faith is on the right at 316 days but thinking she has a bit to go yet.

Just some updates...Flicka's udder is fuller tonight and looking closer! Faith's has also gotten fuller but she doesnt look as ready. Likely will be bringing Mars in soon too as she is really starting to bag up fast. Hopefully Flicka foals soon so that I can get both mares that are due soon in as Belle will be needing to come in too although she isnt looking as promising yet.

Anyhoo here are pics of Chickadee's filly who is actually a Palomino! Her bright pink skin and her blue eyes all darkened while I was gone so she is def a pally not a double dilute!

Silverbelle foaled saturday morning but do not have any pics yet of her buckskin pinto filly.

He is awesome. Look at all his little muscles. He is perfect. Are you going to show him? I think he would win!

So cute

Thanks guys and yes I will likely show her if she sticks around. Really like her and expect her to do really well. Pictures dont even come close to showing how refined she is too!

Anyhoo updates on the expecting mommas They are getting closer looking and I just know they are waiting til I am showing this weekend. The show is close by though so I can easily run home if there are problems otherwise my hubby will be handling the foaling care. Flicka has a nice firm udder for a couple days and cant imagine what she is waiting for other than me to lose my mind completely! Mars is really bagging up fast out in pasture so may end up rearranging soon. Belle is starting to bag and she usually doesnt take too long about it so figuring she could go anytime too. Yesterday was actually the gestation she foaled with the same cross last year. Faith is just hanging out, she is starting to bag but nothing exciting. Belle is 337 days today, Flicka is 329 days, Faith is 323 days, Mars is 308 days, and Desi is 310 days. Desi isnt doing anything yet but Rem babies tend to go a bit longer sometimes.

Ive been slow updating again so I apologize! 5/28/15 Flicka had a sorrel appy filly by Monte and 5/29/15 Mars had a black appy filly by Playboy!

Belle is likely going to foal tonight as she has a full udder and loose rear! She is doing all her normal "ready" signs.

Thanks for sharing these mares/foals.

Congrats!!!:-D :-D

Faith finally foaled early this morning and has an incredible little buckskin splash colt! Sooooo happy with him! Still figuring everything out but he is a really nice little guy. Momma doesnt like me hanging around so trying to stay away as much as possible for right now so that she stands better for him. Just gets nervous and circles when I try to stand and watch.

Here are a couple teaser pics for now, will get better ones once he is a bit more active and I can take them outside. Dont want him in the hot sun at all until he is nursing good for sure!

Here are some dry pics of Faith's lil guy! Im pretty smitten with him!

 

[SummerTime]

Awww so cute!!!

 

[paintponylvr]

He's nice and I'm guessing that the one I saw the other day wasn't a "new" one...

Would he be a splash or a frame? Or a combo of the two?

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Id be smitten too

He is a ripper Melinda , congratulations
