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

[Jade10]

haha dang, lovely bling though

and a very nice red!

 

[Jade10]

Ive decided that i want your new colts markings but on a black base, i would love a blingy black

 

[Wings]

I love minimal splash

Just a touch of bling! Looks good on just about any coat as well!

So "no bag" Fantasy decided not to wait until her undercarriage looked like those pictures of Rivain!!

Many congratulations!! What a beautiful baby - even if 'she' is now a 'he' - that bright chestnut colour is amazing.

You tell Fantasy that she is a very clever girl, even if she didn't get the sex right! The Aunties thoroughly approve of her efforts - even if they get very frustrated by her owner a lot of the time.

:rofl

Have to say, best of all the vet confirmed that she doesn't even look like she had a foal, just like with Storm! I wish all broodmares where as easy as her, she makes it fairly non stressful.

Clean bill of health from the vet, he had a tiny cut on his leg so we're just treating it with antibacterial spray between now and when he joins the herd which he'll probably do in three days.

Naming wise I'm stumped.

My brother suggested 'Knight-Errant' to tie into Pallidon's name, plus they show up in a lto of stories so it also ties into 'Fantasy.'

Two others (without knowing it) both suggested 'The Phantom' because of his mask and Fantasy's full name 'Fantasy of the Opera'

Open to suggestions!

Don't put him back in... Send him to me

My next needs to have blue eyes!! I also really like the name Phantom

 

[Wings]

Looks like he'll be "Marlanoc SP The Phantom" although for his paddock name it looks like he'll be "Red"

I know, not up to my normal creative/weird standards but a few people are calling him Red now so I think it'll stick.

 

[AnnaC]

Red is a good strong name - also makes him easy to spot if you should ever ask anyone to go to the paddock to find him in the future. LOL!!

Dont forget that we will want more pics in another day or so!

 

[countrymini]

"Red" is cute. Isn't that also the name of Scarlett O'Hara's hubby in Gone with the Wind?

 

[Wings]

Nah that's Rhett

Secreteriat and Man'O'War had the stable name "Big Red" so I figure if it's good enough for them it's good enough for my little guy!

I'll get some time to do photos today, we finished prepping the QHs and they are gone now so I've got today before I have to start packing for my own show.

 

[Wings]

Battery died while I was taking shots, I've got it plugged in so hopefully it gets enough juice for me to pull the photos off tonight.

 

[Wings]

Red:



Spot the foals:



Then the colts nicked off and I only had the short lense on so no pics of them. But Tilly has decided she loves me.

 

[Jade10]

Red's face is just gorgeous and i love Tilly's markings

 

[Wings]

She certainly is rather loud with those markings for such a quiet little girl.

 

[cassie]

cute!! naw Red is so handsome! and you know I adore Tilly! XD

a very successful breeding season for you Bree

who is going into foal for next year?

 

[countrymini]

They are all so lovely. Not that I'm ready for any more yet but how much is horse transport from vic to nsw? lol

 

[Wings]

If you can find a mini stud doing an interstate run then about $250 is the average, if you have to use a commerical transport your looking at around $500. They change a bit depending on how out of the way you are, but you knock that down again by picking up from a drop off point.

Next year I should have Kalari in foal to an outside stud as long as she takes this time!

Pallidon is running with Twinkles and Rivain, Tinker with Belle and Ashanti.

 

[lexischase]

Oh Bree! I am completely in love with ALL of them!!! Wanna send me one for Christmas?!?!

 

[AnnaC]

The babies are all looking fantastic Bree!! I love that big tree in your paddock - great for playtime and for when they have the 'itches'.

 

[Wings]

Thanks guys

I'm so happy with what Tinker did in his first season here!

If a tree goes down here and isn't on a fence it stays, I love having them there for the minis to play with and I'll always find the foals gathered around them for nap time. Loki loves to jump the little branches, might be a future performance horse on my hands!
