Mare ready to foal?

[cassie]

goodnight all

thankyou for watching

ok... well this might be the problem... the previous owner said they were registered AMHA but when I just looked at the papers it say AUSTRALIAN miniature horse association... hmmm lol

might do some research today, think I'm going to register them AMHR anyway,

Penny's registration papers are all wrecked which is a real pity because it has all her blood lines and I love all that side of things, I might have been able to track down her parents then.... Suzie's I only have a photocopy of n its only the outside... thanks alot mate NOT!!

lol so I'm still very much in the dark which annoys me GREATLY!!!!! he is just so strange! so glad I got the girls away from him

I will do some research n let you girls know what I find out.... hopefully I can find out something about my gorgeous girls!! I know the ladies name who bred them now so maybe I could ring her up to find out a bit more info... maybe she kept a copy of Penny's papers... fingers crossed. I really am annoyed at him, oh well... lol

I've had my rant now....

Suzie has a little more progress in the udder department this morning YIPPEE!!! lol

filling from the sides again, hopefully it is clean sailing from here on out!! hoping for the 18th!

its my mummys birthday n is pretty much a week before we go

would love for it to be the 14th but I think thats cutting it a little bit close... unless she goes poof over night lol n there is a huge udder the next day..... that is allowed to happen suzie munchkin

its a good thing! lol

well its raining here today n I think it is set in for the weekend

nice for us today but my friend is having her engagement party tomorrow n its a picnic at their lovely house in their backyard, guess it will be inside otherwise... pity but can't control the weather, won't stop the rain though best timing!! THANKYOU GOD!!

he always provides!

Shame about the papers Cassie, maybe someone in the Australian Mini Horse Soc., can help if you have their number, or as you say their breeder??

Time for my bed too, so night night all. Sleep well!

 

[cassie]

I have emailed the commitee,

found out some info about Penny though, her sire is Mini Worlds Chromes Classic

very exciting he is a chestnut overo

and has heaps of foals here in Australia

very exciting!!

my silly Suzie is standing out in the rain, I can't get over why she stands in the rain so much

especially when she has a nice clean dry stable to use lol

maybe you guys can find him? his sire is Coat O Chrome n Dam is 4GS Bambies Carrott top 11

I love this!! so interesting going back through their history. hehe can't wait to find out Suzie's heritage hopefully I can

 

[cassie]

and guess what I just found out~!!!!! SO EXCITED Penny is related to Renee (anyssa Park) horses!!! HOW COOL IS THAT!!!!

So cool!!

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

That is so cool Cassie! Renee has some very nice looking horses! Did you remind Suzie that tommorrow is my daughter's bday? I let Stormy know...........

 

[anyssapark]

Cass, i think AMHA has closed down in Australia now? So not sure if you'll hear back from them or not.

Mini World Chromes Classic isnt an imported stallion, but he is by two imported parents.

Coat O Chrome is very very well known in the Australian mini industry and has produced many many overos. He lives down in Junee (near Wagga Wagga). Bambies Carrot Tops lives in Sydney

Heres some pics of them all for you.

MW Chromes Classic - lives in QLD

4G's Bambies Carrot Top II - she lives in Sydney at Cranage Stud. She is a deaf splashed white.

You'll find her on this page of Carmens site

http://www.miniaturehorses.com.au/page/mares.html

Coat O Chrome - lives in south NSW.

And some more info on his pedigree for you

http://www.beaucheval.com/refchrome.html

Oh Cisco - Coat O Chromes sire who is still in the USA somewhere i believe. He was owned by Dream maker minis.

Hope thats a bit of help for you

 

[cassie]

Thanks Renee

I love her dad so much!! n thanks for the heads up about him not being imported lol one of the websited showed him as imported lol but I can't trust everything I read lol

n thankyou Diane... I'ts so much fun looking it all up

hmmm so Renee do you think I will be able to get Suzie's original paperwork? i hope so... I want to know who her daddy is lol

I finally found Raylee Park lol I'm going to send her an email to find out some more information thanks heaps

I have to go to youth early tonight, so I have their dinner done, will run home change, feed, swap camera then go again LOL won't be home till 10:30 11pm good thing I'm not working tomorrow LOL just so you know I won't be on much later

 

[AnnaC]

WOW!!! How exciting

Penny certainly has some colourful minis in her pedigree. Better make sure you get her tested for the LWO+ gene before you think about breeding from her to be safe.

Hopefully you will get a response from Raylee Park so you can learn more about Suzie. Pedigrees and background info is such fun, I love tracing things back to see what I can find!

Diane, can I just ask how you get the pedigrees to print out like that? I can never work it out!

 

[Lindi-loo]

Some fab colours going on there

do hope you get to find out Suzie's history especially as its something your really interested in..Im sure it will be fun when you finally get to see a picture of the proud dad

 

[Eagle]

Beautiful parents but hey she had to get her looks from someone

It is so exciting looking back and seeing the colours.

 

[cassie]

Thanks guys

how do I get her tested for LWO? n what is it? this is how much I don't know lol n why I ask so many questions...

well I'm finally home thanks for the update before Renee I really need to get the new iphone when it comes out lol

I'm exhausted so I'm going to bed thanks for watchingg did you see me waving at you all

Night

 

[Eagle]

Night night sweety pie

sweet dreams

 

[Lindi-loo]

I did..sweet dreams Cassie

 

[MeganH]

I have been watching your Suzie, Cassie. Haven't been able to get on and type much. I do think Suzie's shape seems to be changing. Maybe the foal is finding position. She looks different to me. She is down flat now and you can see a difference

So glad you found pedigrees for your loves!

 

[Lindi-loo]

Suzie getting very excited..its breakfast time again

 

[Lindi-loo]

Shes still waiting by the gate

..Im sure you'll be there real soon so Im off to bed..goodnight all

and good morning to those that are just waking up

 

[Eagle]

Goodness sake Cassie, GET OUT OF BED before this girl starves to death

 

[AnnaC]

LOL!! I was just going to say the same thing! Cassie, poor Suzie is really getting her knickers in a twist out there - hurry up please!

Cassie, no need to worry yet about the LWO gene, but you will need to be safe and test for it before possibly breeding from Penny. It is the Overo gene that can produce those lovely overo 'coloured' horses, bald faces, other odd colours BUT it can also stay 'hidden' and be part of the gene make up in solid coloured horses. Any mini with Rowdy way back in their pedigree should always be tested.

A mini can carry two possible versions of the LWO (Lethal White Overo) gene - a negetive one or a positive one. The negetive gene (LWO-) is harmless, but if you breed two minis together who carry the positive gene (LWO+) then you stand a good chance of getting a dead foal. You can breed an LWO- to an LWO+ quite safely, just not two LWO+'s together.

Test is simply done by sending in sample of mane hairs and reading the colour results when they return. My Dragon is LWO+ which doesn't matter on my mares but we will be testing any of his offspring if/when breeding them to another stallion in the future, no matter what colour that stallion might be - could be one hiding the gene!

Hope some of this makes sense - not that easy to explain in simple terms. LOL!! Penny's ancestor's colourings are typical of possible LWO+ horses, but if you find a picture of Rowdy somewhere (Think Tony of Little Americas Minis has one on his Historical Stallions page) you will see that he is bay with just a narrow blaze and he is LWO+.!!

Off to check on Stormy and then I'm to bed. Have a good day Cassie.

Nite nite everyone.

 

[cassie]

night all

Suzie out having fun now

going to an engagement party this afternoon which should be fun

its a little windy here though today n there are some clouds so hopefully it doesn't come over rainy n cold that would be sad for my friend...
