Marlanoc Foal Thread, All Foaled! 4 colts, 1 filly

[Wings]

So cute name, but I was wondering, do you have a thing for Chris Hemsworth?

Actually more of a Loki fan

but that name is reserved for Beauty's foal if it's a boy since it's been playing so many tricks on us!

I was raised on mythology and folklore the way some people get raised on bedtime stories! Throw in the cirumstances of his birth and the name was perfect.

Plus everyone uses the Greek myth names and the common Egyptian ones so Norse is a little more individual... when you teach everyone how to say them!

Good luck with the expo Bree - guess we will have to be patient for a day or two before you will find the time for more pics!

It was awesome! Drifter won the mini jumping class, he just loved having the crowd there to cheer him on!



Utterly wiped out today though, barely had the energy to turn Dreamy and Thor out...

... bet you all want photos now don't you

Too cute, do you think his spots will turn into a blanket?

 

[Wings]

I think he'll be a snowflake like his aunt Beauty, that or he'll be like his mum. It'll be interesting to see what happens, he'll certainly be a vibrantly marked one! Dreamy's only other spotted foal was a blanket, not mine but I'm allowed to share pics

Dominator is by Pallidon's sire and, IMHO, the Dreamy foal Thor is most like... which is good because Dominator did very well in the ring!

I'll try and get a close up of his back at feed time, he is enjoying have the space to play at the moment!

Welcome to the world Marlanoc TB Might of Mjölnir

Or his paddock name 'Thor' whichever is easier to type

Congrats! I got behind on my reading, so missed the news.

Very, very cute. Love all the pics.

 

[Wings]

That probably means you're one of the few people who can say his full name without help

Glad you like it though!

I love that shot of Drifter to

you can just see how much he loves his job!

 

[cassie]

gorgeous pics of Drifter and Thor! Love him so much! what a delightful little boy! just LOVE him!

 

[Wings]

He is so easy to love

:wub I'm very smitten with this colt!

Since I was out all yesterday my agistor's kid sat with him for an hour, they had a nap together. Thor just loves the attention, we'll all have to try hard not to spoil him

 

[AnnaC]

Way to go Drifter - clever boy!!

As for that little Thor - I'm sure he would just love to make a trip over to the UK - I would be very pleased to meet him at the airport and to whisk him away to my Welsh mountain!!

Ps - dont mind if he wants to bring his Momma along too!!

 

[Wings]

:rofl

Thor would probably love your place... he already thinks his paddock is too small! Once Beauty foals and he/she is strong enough they'll go out into the big paddock where Lyric is, that should keep little Thor busy!

I guess I should talk about Beauty The Evil One

Her udder is very loose now but growing in size, back end is super relaxed like it has been for a month, I think my best sign will be when the udder goes hard but as to when this will happen I still have no idea!

Rivain has a big load of nothing going on, she would be day 336 and I would have expected something by now even if she were to go later. I'm quite certain there is no foal now which is a bit sad (Thor is cheering me up though

) but I'll keep her up with Beauty and Dreamy just on the off chance.

 

[cassie]

naw how sad for Rivain, or for you really...

Thor is just adorable! have you got any new pics for us?

hoping beauty will continue progressing quickly for you

is Kilari home yet?

have Sterling and Storm been to any shows? would love to see some pics of them!

 

[Wings]

No new pics as I've been attempting to get some outside jobs done... and he keeps distracting me! Picasso is also getting curious about me so I spend a lot of time sitting near him and letting him grow his confidence. Painted Lady is also being less possesive so he is exploring a bit more.

I have managed to move a lot of metal sheeting that got blown around in the storm,sorted out the rug cupboard, sorted out the halter box and swept out the tackroom. Just got a pile of stuff to sort out and restock the foaling kit now

And then I have about 5 billion other jobs to do

Kilari's transport got put off so she's still up in NSW. Might end up getting her myself if we can't sort something out soon.

Sterling and Storm have their first day out on the 23rd, I might get to see them before then but still not sure.

 

[cassie]

oooh very exciting

cant' wait to see them both!!!!

oh no! poor Kilari! yes hope she gets to come to you soon!

good work! seems like your getting a lot done

 

[AnnaC]

Sorry that it doesn't look hopeful about Rivain and what a bummer about Kilari's transport - when is she due to foal, you will have to try to get her home well beforehand?

Cant wait to see some new pics of the 'boys' if you manage a visit before their first show.

 

[Wings]

Kalari was paddock served but she's due fairly late, I'd have to find the email with her dates (lazy Wings!) but she'd be October at the earliest and I think she's closer to November. She'll have enough time to settle but I imagine I'll foal her down without anyone else in the paddock just incase, I trust my other girls with each other but it is so much harder with a new girl!

I'm really hoping to get out to the boys this weekend to help with their final clip, dye manes etc to finish getting them ready for the next weekend but I'm not sure if that will work out. Keeping my fingers crossed but at worst you'll have to settle for first show day pics

 

[Wings]

You can't breathe during show season! Think of the precious seconds I would lose

:rofl

 

[countrymini]

lol you showing girls are amazing! I already feel flat out and i've only got three normal kids (well thats up for debate) and three furry ones. I've been tempted at times to list the ones that live in the house with me as 'free to good home'.

 

[phoebeq]

Yeah, these girls are all being way too polite...I am gonna be the meany that DEMANDS new pictures!!

Lol...j/k. I suppose that I can be an understanding person, and just sit and wait, impatiently

 

[Wings]

Soon as it stops raining I'll go get more Thor AND Picasso pics

Promise!

My day just became so lazy as my dentist had to cancel, so after working doubel time yesterday to have today clear I now have very little to do for once! I mean I could clean my desk....nah

:rofl

I nearly crashed the tractor yesterday as I was watching Dreamy and Thor. He took three BIG trot strides before switching to canter! I'm getting a bit excited, I think he just might have gotten some of his mother's amazing movement!!

My agistor and I are now driving everyone nuts raving about our babies, he has two young cutters who are really shaping up to be something else and now I have Thor blowing me away with almost everything he does. Nothing beats having exciting youngsters around!

 

[Wings]

Picasso up first:
