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

[countrymini]

That is interesting Diane. Sweety''s (pintaloosa) hair is also shorter than you'd think for 6 years BUT since i've had them Í've been giving them kohne's own cell 'something' suppliment and I reckon their hair has grown at last an inch longer since april, so fingers crossed thats helping lol.

 

[Wings]

Ahh yes I forgot all about that, thanks Diane

Knew you'd come through as soon as I said the magic word...... appie!

 

[cassie]

oh Bree I love those pics of them all runnning together! just gorgeous!

Tinker is looking amazing! love him!!

 

[MeganH]

Bree- I love all these pictures! Tink is such a happy handsome man!

 

[lexischase]

Bree I love the photos with all the dams and foals together, just precious! Wow Tinkers mane is to DIE for

:wub

I have had one of my horses over 4 years and I don't think his mane has grown more than 2 inches

I also wouldn't cut it, not even to show!

 

[Wings]

I have a complete mane addiction... incurable!!

I really hope Loki get's his father's mane, fingers crossed!

Better update about the girls or they'll think I don't love them anymore.

Jilla is still building her udder, sometimes her belly looks a bit lopsided but it is certainly begining to sink. I'm hoping she holds out a bit longer as I was hoping to spend the weekend of the 12/13/14 with my cousin and if she's looking too close I'll have to stay here.

Fantasy is up with Jilla now, no udder to speak of which is good as she's not due until the 30th (day 320.) Since Palli only covered her once her dates are fairly concrete.

Kalari has been in with the stallion for almost 2 weeks now and has shown no interest in him, fingers crossed that the trend continues so she can come down here and foal after all!

 

[Wings]

Sadly Kalari has just come into season

She'll stay at the stud for the breeding season and run with the same stallion again for a 2013 foal.

Absolutely certain its a real season, and not pregnancy hormones run amoke? My AQHA mare was such a flirt, she teased everyone, even when she was 9-10 months pregnant. Just thought a little hope might be nice.

Apparently she isn't the type to pull those stunts (looking at you Beauty!), very textbook. But of course that's hard to know without knowing her or actually seeing what she's doing

At least if she does pull a sneaky I know she's in safe hands up with her old owners... just means I have to wait longer and we all know how bad I am at waiting!

:rofl

 

[AnnaC]

Sorry to hear about Kalari - how far in foal was she supposed to be? (sorry cant remember)

 

[Wings]

She would have been due in December.

 

[Wings]

Oh, the good news is that this frees up a slot for Tinker

Looks like the lovely Ashanti will get a shot with him! Ashanti has the same sire as Beauty so their foal would be a 3/4 sibling to Loki.

Colour wise there is an equal chance of Black, Smokey Black, Bay, Buckskin, Chestnut and Palomino and a 50% shot at tobiano.

Should be a very nice cross!

 

[Jade10]

Wonderful Tinker! Sounds exciting, and I vote for a cream gene to be thrown!!

Yes i agree, a cream gene!! with the tobiano

 

[Wings]

Well you know I'll never complain about a cream gene!

Would LOVE a blingy little buckskin so minimal tobi would get me the bling

 

[Wings]

I'm not sure if we know how to make girls around here

:rofl I think Miss Lyric was a fluke!!

 

[AnnaC]

Ha! Ha!! Well next year, just to ring the changes, I can see your paddocks full of bouncing baby GIRLS!!

 

[cassie]

that would be something!!! oh Bree I hope you get a blingy buckskin!! WOW that would be to die for! YAY for Ashanti and Tink!

Sorry to hear that Kilarni isn't in foal...

lets hope she gets in foal real quick so she can come down to you

it is so hard trying to decide who to put in foal or not! really learning that this year.... I already have a buyer for Suzie's next baby! but I don't know if I should put her in foal this year for next or next year for the year after, I think I will put Penny in when I put Suzie in... maybe a little after so that I get to spend time with them when they are just babies before they go and play

but so hard trying to decide!! LOL

 

[Wings]

It is hard! It was almost good when I found out Rivain wasn't in foal as it made Pallidon's season easy to plan, he'll get her and Twinkles so he can repeat the Lyric and Sterling breedings that worked out so well last time!

Tinker is more experimenting, it was going to be Belle and Kalari but now I'll use Ashanti instead.

Including Kalari that means a potential 5 foals next season which I really didn't want more then that.

Down with a horrid cold, in the past 24 hours I've spent all but 5 asleep! Very uncommon for me

Even getting my agistor to feed the horses tomorrow morning. I'm amazed at how soft the colts have been with me, I'm used to the stallion's being marshmallows when I'm feeling off but it's a suprise when 1 month old colts do the same! This is why I love the boys

Picasso is also allowing me to scratch his muzzle and on bolder days I can rub his neck. Just taking it so slow and on his terms because Im in no rush, but it's awesome to see him coming around! Although Loki doesn't like to share me with him and tends to bulldoze between us and then has this expression ->

 

[Wings]

I'd also try to breed them close together rather then keep them seperate. Thor and Loki are the BEST of friends and there is only a week between them. Picasso is 2 or 3 weeks ahead of Thor and now that he is in with the group he is mellow and soft. There was a month between each of last seasons foals and I have to say I like this sudden onset of foals much more to my liking

 

[cassie]

Thanks girls

Bree hope you get better really soon! colds are horrible!

hey guess what its snowing!! LOL not at my house but half an hour away it is! lol so happy for the rain yippee

can we see some new pics of your babies please?

once you get better of course
