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

[Wings]

Tinker has a lot of foals in his past, his owners before me where a 'big stud' but he wasn't being used as much as their other stallions. His last season he has two colts. The seasons before I wouldn't have the stats but I have met some of his girls in the past so I know he can throw them... apparently he just likes to give me colts!

Jilla herself has had two solid palominos to Pallidon's sire and one tovero like herself to another sire (not sure who.)

Come on Jilla let's break the colt streak!!! (but let's keep the colour going ok? awesome.)

All this talk of foals and colours is doing my head in

Last night I dreamed Bindi had her foal, colt of course, but he was a tobiano palomino with dark grey leopard spots all through the palomino colour. Don't think that colour is even possible with Bindi and Wazza lol

What does TB stand for in "Marlanoc TB Lokasenna"? Is it for Toy Boy? I've seen it a lot in names and wondered if it was a reference to the sire.

 

[Wings]

Yup, TB is for Toy Boy and SP is for Sir Pallidon.

Maybe one day there will be an MM for Might of Mjolnir or a LS for Lokasenna

Some people use intials like that, some people use part of the name. Some of Tinker's previous foals are "Kooka Heights Tinker's Lunar Eclipse, Kooka Heights Tinker's Dancing Minstral, Kooka Heights Tinker's Red Hot Chilli Pepper" and some people don't use anything. There's nothing that says you have to but I like using the intials, it refrences the stallion without using too many letters. My foals by outside stallions don't use anything, such as "Marlanoc Salt River." We don't really have naming conventions in the miniature horse world, not like some breeds, so we can do what we want.

OMG...that is the cutest thing ever. I am so jealous right now...but I guess I can live with watching your babies in the mean time

 

[chandab]

They are so adorable.

 

[lexischase]

First photo is my favorite thing ever! In love

:wub

 

[countrymini]

nawwww

 

[AnnaC]

Awwww boys being boys and having fun - so cute!!

 

[Wings]

I love that first photo too

:wub

Now that Loki is a week old he is up for the bigger games with his brother, I'm getting almost nothing done so I can watch them instead!

 

[countrymini]

As soon as you let Picasso in you'll have to post photos. Ad a bit of colour to the black and white shots lol

 

[Wings]

I can't wait, I hope the rain holds off long enough tomorrow because even if it doesn't I'll be shifting the herds

 

[cassie]

nAW Bree that is sooo gorgeous! they are so very cute! saw that pic of FB and loved it!

beautiful little babies!

 

[Wings]

Blended the foal groups today

And Tinker got out of the yard... he was rather happy with the new plan!







(If he looks a bit funny it is because his face was clipped a month or so ago to get the measurements for his custom bridle so the rest of him is hairy

Can't wait to properly clip him off soon!)

 

[countrymini]

Beautiful photos and how handsome is tinker! I love long manes on the stallions.

 

[Wings]

I adore his mane

which is why I can't show him sadly, I refuse to cut it even for a tiny bridle path. It's about 6 years of growth with no particular effort made to protect it and I just love it!

 

[countrymini]

yeah, he looks pretty awesome. Can't wait for Wazza to start growing his out, its so short for three years growth! lol. Still haven't had any interest in him and if he doesn't sell in the next three weeks we'll probably try and make it work. See if the neighbours will go halves with us in a new boundary fence.

 

[Wings]

I'll keep my fingers crossed

Depending on local council rules you might have luck getting them to improve the fence, especially as you can make the argument it isn't containing their horse correctly if it can reach over and razz up Wazza. We're having to do one out of our own pocket because we share the boundary with the government, even if we could get them to play ball they'd just replace the existing bad barbed wire fence with a slightly newer but not suitable for me barbed wire fence. So we're just going to do it ourselves and to what we need.

Fingers crossed you get more mane too

it's hard with the appies, I think my most gifted in the hair department appie is Dreamy! Hopefully Thor follows her or his father instead of the other appies!

Diane if you see this do you know why the appies are, generally, a bit lacking in the hair department?

 

[AnnaC]

That is really interesting Diane. Most of my appies have had reasoable manes and tails (albeit somewhat thinner than my other horses) but then my appies mostly have only one parent a true appy.

Bree - that is one happy stallion you have there bless him!! And it is so good to see the girls together agan.
