Man he's beautiful. Mum's looking pretty good post labour. Looks a bit chilly down your way lol

 

[Wings]

It is! Overcast and a horrid cold wind blowing, takes a fair chill for me to bring out the rugs but it's more fun then being in the stable.

Painted Lady is looking so good, her belly is springing back, she's completely comfortable and she is such an attentive mother. A bit possessive but I expected that from here. I reckon I'll put her back in foal for next year, just got to choose between Tinker and Pallidon

 

[cassie]

awwww he is soooo cute!!! he looks like such a snuggle bug and I bet would be soo easy to love! congratulations Bree! love your little Picasso!

 

[AnnaC]

Oh just look at that little cuteness!! He's gorgeous Bree and I can see why you would want to be cuddling him all the time - he's so furry!

 

[Wings]

Unless that wind comes back he'll get his jacket off tomorrow

Which will mean new pics!

 

[cassie]

so how is the weather looking down there for you Bree? is it warm enough for Picasso to get his rugs off?

how are the rest of your girls looking?

 

[Wings]

Not talking to the other girls

Beauty is being stupid Rivain has me second guessing if she's even pregnant and Dreamy is still too far off to be doing anything interesting. I'll just play with Picasso instead

The rug came off, that was a chore and a half to catch the little pest! Now that he has discovered the paddock again he doesn't want smoochies, plus Painted Lady is being very possessive. I'm pretty sure when the other foals arrive (hint hint mares!) he'll start coming over again... he won't want to miss out!

 

[cassie]

I saw them on FB

he is just the CUTEST little thing!! love his stunning little head! woohoo Painted Lady sure did a good job painting her little baby! a gorgeous start to your foaling season Bree! love him!!

 

[Wings]

I'm loving this Tinker/Painted Lady combo! Nothing to complain about

Very inclined to repeat it for next year, I still want to give her a shot with Palli but I sort of want to see what else she and Tinker put on the ground

 

[cassie]

hmmm yeah I can see why you would want both!! hehe, he is just too cute for words! love his little face! how tall is he Bree?

 

[Wings]

I never get a proper birth height, too lazy for that

LOL! But Painted Lady is 36" at the withers so he isn't a teeny one.

Begining to think Rivain might not be pregnant

Will take some photos when I go back outside but I just don't know... and unlike Beauty she never ran with the stallions so she can't be due later, Pallidon's mares were served over one heat and that was it.

 

[AnnaC]

Oh he's gorgeous Bree - such a handsome little lad!! Repeat the breeding, you might get him a little sister!

 

[Wings]

Probably will, I'm so happy with him! I'll have to ask Tinker to leave the boy bits off this time

I need to break this colt streak though, 1 filly and 4 colts all up, need more girls!

Didn't get those pics, I ended up helping with the agistor's two year olds. We did take another look at her though and he is leaning towards yes, but he agrees she's being a bit tricky. Mares! Are they ever nice!?

 

[cassie]

I'm glad you think Rivain is pregnant still!! can't wait to see that baby!!!

definitely need more girls Bree! come on Beauty! bring on the filly!!

 

[lexischase]

I want to hug that little colt! He looks like a little teddy bear! Absolutely adore him Bree

 

[Wings]

I'm glad you think Rivain is pregnant still!! can't wait to see that baby!!!

Actually I'm still undecided, my agistor is leaning towards probably and my vet carefully suggests possibly

The next 2 weeks should be telling, if she doesn't change then she's very likely not

lame! well I hope she is then! have you felt any foal movements? i so hope she is!!!!!!

 

[chandab]

Oh, my goodness, that baby is so very cute, just want to squeeze him

Wouldn't feel a thing by this stage and when she was out in the big paddock she's not the type to stand still and let me "waste her time"

In fact I'm amazed that this year with just the halter on she's letting me get such a good feel of her belly and udder, it was out of the question last year. I guess all those problems with Lyric and the mastitis really paid off in the end!

Oh, my goodness, that baby is so very cute, just want to squeeze him

So do I but he won't hold still anymore! He has hit the stage where he runs up to his mum and keeps going "Play with me." "Play with me."

He needs a friend so he can stop bugging his very tolerant mother!
