Marlanoc Foal Thread

[Wings]

We got some strong wind that blew a few brief rain bands across us, enough to keep the clipped minis in the stalls for most of the day (they sulked) and to amuse Lyric. She was born during gale force winds so I think she likes it

My little storm filly!

 

[cassie]

naw how cute!!!

have you thought of a show name for her yet?? I can't remember lol

 

[Wings]

Yup,

she is Marlanoc SP And Still I Rise

 

[cassie]

lol thats right!!

love it!!

 

[Lindi-loo]

It must be time for a picture update of your beautiful lil girl

 

Oh and dont forget the the gorgeous Rivain too

 

[AnnaC]

Hear hear! We need some new pics please.

 

[Wings]

Well I live! Sort of anyway, been knocked over with stomach flu. The worst kind of flu!

Getting back on my feet now which is good as I kick off my show season this weekend.

Lyric pics as ordered!

It's been very stormy here and family keep calling to see if I've brought Lyric back in. As if! She'd never forgive me!

This is one little sotrm filly, she loves the wind, the rain, the mud. All of it!

Twinkles is coming along nicely, no udder action but she's at least a month off foaling so that isn't suprising. If she's anything like last year she'll be very textbook, somewhat slow and will wax up. I've told her I need a little buckskin or DD colt that I can show next year alongside Lyric.

 

[cassie]

naw!! she is more n more beautiful every time I see her!! we love you Lyric!!!

YAY for Twinkles!! be a good girl for your mummy n give her that handsome little buckskin colt Twinkles

theres a good girl!

 

[Wings]

Thanks cassie! I think I'm the only one hoping for a colt right now

 

[Wings]

Yes she loves eating with Rivain and Ashanti. She just lips up bits of it and then often drools them on me or her mum but she is loving it

Twinkles doesn't want to share anymore!

 

[LittleRibbie]

Oh shes such a cutie pie!! Great picture. When cam tries to eat out of the bowl like that he puts his 2 front feet in then sssllliiddes to the other side....girls are so much smarter

 

[Wings]

Lyric first thought the tyres made nice beds

Now it is all about the food!

She has so much attitude, she fronts up to everyone, investigates everything and has this little squealy neigh that gets a lot of use. I've had to stay firm because on one hand I want her to come over for cuddles but on the other I don't want her nipping! She's going to be an interesting one to train

She'll work out what I'm asking quickly enough but I reckon she'll keep asking "why should I?"

 

[AnnaC]

Oh my, look at that cute little bundle of fur - isn't she just a gem!

Not sure if Twinkles little colt (to come!) will be able to stand up to Miss Attitude, especially as HE will be a month younger - he might need his own bodyguard. LOL!

Hope your tummy is feeling better today Bree.

 

[Wings]

I think Lyric is going to love being the oldest. I must not play favourites...but it is so hard

:wub At least Twinkles colt will get to be older then Fantasy's bub by about 2 to 3 weeks and Dreamy's if that one ever turns out to exist!

I'm doing much better now, I know because Pallidon has stopped being super nice! Every time I get ill he turns sooky and gentle and very quiet. Now he is being a turd again

which for him is still pretty easy to handle, just turd-ish! I think he knows I'm about to start breeding again soon.

 

[cassie]

haha sly little begger LOL

glad your feeling better though Bree

 

[Lindi-loo]

Aww thats a great picture of the girls together and cant believe lil Lyric tucking in..Dinky shows no interest in food whatsoever

a little worrying really

 

[Wings]

When Derby was Lyric's age he was way more interested in the buckets. I have many photos of him gathering up all the brightly coloured bendy buckets and then squashing them

He stuck to milk and grass (eventually hay as well) until he was about 7 months when I brought him in and taught him about hard feed. I don't think Lyric will find things that different when she comes in!

 

[lucky lodge]

That pic is just to cute

:wub

 

[Wings]

Lyric has learnt to drive Ashanti off the feed!

:shocked

Honestly Ashanti, just give her a scary face and be done with it. It must be embarassing to be driven off by somthing that short!

Twinkles is tracking along well now, she's picked up the condition she had dropped and has fallen into the same "going into last month of pregnancy" routine she did last year. I must say it is a bit comforting after the last disaster to go to a mare who I know very well. She's gotten pushy and a bit grumpy with everyone who is around her, which means I'm constantly being told to hurry up witht he feed bucket and that she requires a scratch on the neck RIGHT NOW! She's such a laugh, the rest of the time she is the softest, smoochiest of mares but in this last month she becomes a bit of a tyrant! I give her udder a quick visual check but no action yet so I haven't been dragging the camera down.

Today I decided she has a perlino colt onboard... but yesterday I was convinced it was a buckskin filly

Bit of fun trying to guess! Here's her colour %

29.17% - Buckskin

16.67% - Palomino

14.58% - Perlino

14.58% - Bay

8.33% - Cremello

8.33% - Chestnut

4.17% - Smoky Black

2.08% - Smoky Cream

2.08% - Black

As for gender, she's thrown a lot of colts in the past. Am I due for a filly or will she stick to what she has done so well in the past?

About to start breeding next year's foals soon. Got some nice pairings lined up!

 

[cassie]

YAY wow look at those colours!!! how exciting!! when is Twinkles Due?

yay for next years foaling season too!!
