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

[Wings]

Thanks guys!

I adore watching Jilla with her, she is just so thrilled to have a baby of her own instead of having to share!

Wouldn't that be the 2014 foaling season? Or, no wait your in Australia, so your breeding season is a half year off from ours; so a half year later, I suppose. Hurry up and catch her this breeding season, I don't know if I could wait to years to see that foal, and it won't even be mine. Your little half-Welsh mare is so cute, and I just love Arabians.

Yup you're right! SIlly me, 2014

I really wanted to go this season but she's just not ready to go to stud, Jazz was a rescue case and it's taken a lot of time and work to get her as happy around people as she is now. I reckon she needs an extra year of me conning as many people as I can into handling her just to make sure that when she does go it will be a good and safe experience for her.

But yes it is so hard to wait as I think I'll get a jaw dropping foal from her. I want to use one of the stallions standing here http://www.futurefarmsarabians.com/Stallions/index.html and would LOVE to use Crave

:wub His photos don't do him justice, I did a clinic there and got to watch him at liberty and fell in love.

Bree, it is so refeshing to hear of someone willing to give a mare time to settle down and gain in confidence before rushing to start breeding from her - of course I would have expected nothing less from you, you always have your horse's best interests uppermost in your mind. I love those stallions, they are all glorious looking boys - how big is Crave, it is so difficult to tell from pictures? The little palomino Niarla Excitation made me stop and stare - I had a 14.1 hand boy for 21 years who was the spitting image of him - he was by a small thoroughbred out of a mare who was a Welsh section C crossed with an Arabian. He was so beautiful in body, mind and spirit and that picture bought the memories flooding back.

oh my I am in love with Crave!! he is stunning!!!! defnitley try put her to him!

love Tilly!! she is beautiful! so cute!

 

[chandab]

Crave is a very nice boy.

If she was getting bred her with me and my vet as her handlers I'd probably get tempted to go this year

but if she goes to Future Farms she'll be AI on their onsite facility with their staff as her handlers, so for everyone involved I think she'll benefit from the extra year. Plus it's likely that she'll get to run with the QH broodmares with their foals at foot this year which will be a new experience for her as well and a good one, I think, before she raises one of her own!

I really wanted to use Niarla Excitation, it would have given me the chance of a dilute. But Jazz isn't registered do she has to go to a pure Arab to get enough blood percentage in her offspring so they can at least be rego'd. I could do the same with a Welsh pony and might find a doubel dilute in the future, but I really want to go with an Arab first time around.

I forget Crave's height but he sits neatly in that typical 14hh to 15hh Arab height range. Jazz hasn't been officialy measured but she sits between high 11hh to small 13hh at a guess. Unfortunatly everyone I know has mini height sticks

I was just blown away by him when I met him, he has all that Arab atttiude but can be handled by the kids, he is exceptionally well put together and moves like something out of a dream. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that I get the chance to put Jazz to him as I think they could have a remarkable foal. Plus I've only ever had mini foals of my own so it will be fun to have something a bit different in my foaling season

Hows Fantasy going?

 

[Wings]

Slowly poor darling! She's cranky, very wide and getting a bit sore from carting that load around. No udder yet, i think she might go to her November 9th due date at this rate. I'll have to grab some pics of the whale

 

[Jade10]

Edited as i posted spastically last night lol

Just thought I would say I win! Hehe

yes more pictures please, awww poor fantasy hope she feels better soon

 

[countrymini]

Poor girl. Speaking of 'soreness' I noticed you girls give the ladies pain relief after birthing if they look uncomfortable. What is the pain relief called and where do you buy it? Should I have it in my birthing kit?

 

[Wings]

Haha! I was hoping the race would ge Fantasy excited.... but nah I think she wants to be dramatic. I keep telling her that no one will be as dramatic, tricky or downright evil as Beauty.... I hope she doesn't try to beat her!

I don't give pain relief right off, some people do but I don't like masking symptoms.

Dreamy and Beauty both needed a dose though as their discomfort was clearly getting in the way of comfortably accepting their foals on their udders and so I just use bute which you can only get from your vet.

 

[Jade10]

Haha i hope she doesnt too, i cant wait to see her foal

 

[Wings]

Neither can I! I REALLY want a dilute splashy filly. Or a bay so that all my foals match their mums

Bet she gives me a chestnut colt, no bling!

 

[Jade10]

So i got kinda what you want haha

 

[AnnaC]

So how long do you think we will have to wait for Fantasy to get her act together Bree? Any news about kalari too?

 

[Wings]

So i got kinda what you want haha

haha! Nah I want less white, just face and legs, classic splash

or minimal splash. And preferably buckskin!

So how long do you think we will have to wait for Fantasy to get her act together Bree? Any news about kalari too?

I reckon she'll go through to the 9th, still no udder but everything down there is begining to swell to kick into milk production so we aren't far off.

We're waiting to see if Kalari comes back in, as a precaution though she might stay there for longer 'just in case' we'll see!

 

[Jade10]

Oh that would just be too cute!! I love buckskins

 

[Wings]

I've been wanting a blingy buckskin FOREVER

Pallidon and Fantasy have the best chance of producing a filly to match the non-bling-but-still-perfect Lyric

:wub

They have:

14.58% - Buckskin Splash

14.58% - Buckskin

14.58% - Bay Splash

14.58% - Bay

8.33% - Palomino Splash

8.33% - Palomino

8.33% - Chestnut Splash

8.33% - Chestnut

2.08% - Smoky Black Splash

2.08% - Smoky Black

2.08% - Black Splash

2.08% - Black

I'm so excited about this pairing and I am so hoping for a filly! A colt will be on the sale list, since Thor and Loki are staying it's unlikely any colt from this or the next few seasons will stay

You've all seen Storm:



But I don't think I've ever shown you pics of the filly she had for her old owner? Full sibling to Storm.





I have to say, look at the front ends she throws on them

:wub She throws her long sweeping trot as well so imagine what she will throw to the rarely beaten (and usually by Special!) in Classic Trot Sir Pallidon

So come on Fantasy, time for another filly

 

[Jade10]

Just colour lyric in a little bit hehe no she's perfect as she is

Well fingers crossed you get you blingy buckskin filly

 

[Wings]

LOL! Well I do have the white make up.....

of course she would murder me

 

[AnnaC]

She does throw beautiful babies doesn't she! Roll on a blingy buckskin filly!
