Marlanoc Foal Thread

[Wings]

Miss Twinkles from last year, the day before she foaled last year.





She's a burnt buckskin mare, a Trios Night Ryder granddaughter (not sure if that means anything in the US but he put a strong line down over here) and she has put stunning, large eyes on most of her foals. She's a dedicated mother, very attentive to her foals and loves to share them with people, very happy to have us handling her bubs which sets a lovely confident example for them.

The sire is my wonderful Sir Pallidon.



Whose only foal you all know quite well as it is the fantastic Lyric. So he has a 1 filly track record so far!

Wanting a colt from this breeding so you were right Diane, I'm hoping for a show partner for Lyric

Oh I just love Twinkles - what a beautiful face she has, I'm totally smitten!

I have no idea how colours work out, but I do know that this coming baby (colt) is going to be a really sooper dooper little fella (and.....shush.....might just give the lovely Lyric a run for her money in the 'good looks' stakes!) LOL!!

 

[Wings]

Thanks Anna, I'm smitten with her face as well

Total sweetheart of a horse as well.

This is what she gave me last year from a different stallion:



That is Derby, middle of winter and turning one right when his new sibling is due to drop (middle of October)

He is clipped now and has his first show this weekend

I won't tell Lyric that she might have some competition in the looks department

she wouldn't forgive me for it!

 

[AnnaC]

He's a very handsome little fella - good luck for this weekend.

 

[Wings]

Thanks Anna, we'll need it! We get some good competition in the gelding ring.

Mostly I'm hoping for a good first time out, if he can go out and relax enough to use his training I'll be happy. We can scoop up the ribbons later

trios night ryder is my stallions grand-daddy

 

[Wings]

He put a nice line down over here, I love the head he puts on most of them! He was a very neat little horse. The little mare in my avatar is a Trios daughter

 

[cassie]

great blood line night ryder..he does put nice heads on his progeny..and thay all have lovely temperments

my avatar is my stallion by ,shangrila bw warrior, wich is trios night ryders son

 

[Wings]

He certainly did some good work back as the breed was starting here.

Hopefully Dreamy is pregnant so we can have fun watching another Trios girl later on

Twinkles has such a beautiful face! and I am in LOVE with your Pallidon.

 

[Lindi-loo]

Oh miss Twinkles is certainly a pretty girl..and the handsome Pallidon well

say no more..what a lil monkey Lyric is chasing Ashanti off the food lol..and heres me trying to tempt Dinky into trying a little mash

she wasnt impressed

 

[cassie]

its so funny how every foal is SO different even at such a young age

how is Twinkles this morning Bree??

 

[Wings]

Thanks everyone.

Twinkles is her usual, pregnant and bossy self!

I've got the other mares in the laneway so they're all chatting to each other. They're out being teased by Tinker who just got his first mare of the season. If I have their colours right there is a 100% chance of getting a pinto pattern with this pairing!

 

[cassie]

lol YAY thats exciting!!

can;'t wait for that foal!!

 

[Wings]

Could be a stunner

Tinker has sired some very impressive foals for his last owners and I think he'll combine well with this mare! Equal chance of bay, black or chestnut.

Now one of the other mares is showing so Palli will cover her. Exciting to start the work towards next seasons foals!

 

[cassie]

Very exciting!!!! I have been meaning to ask, where is your avatar pic taken? looks like Sydney Royal?

 

[Wings]

It was at the last Equitana at the Melbourne Show grounds.

It's my favourite pic of Dreamy as I didn't own her at that point I'd just been showing her for her owner's to give her some exposure before listing her for sale. Never knew at that point that the mare I was becoming very smitten with would be coming home with me!

I just came in from the mares as I wanted to try and halter Jilla before my helper showed up to do the breedings. Now this is the mare it has taken years to even be able to hand food to when loose in the paddock. I brought her in for a month over winter to do some one on one work with her before turning her out. I'd seen slight improvement in that if I got her on a good day I could reach out and rub her neck.

Today she took a few mouthfuls of food, eyed the halter nervously but let me rub her side, and then over her neck, up her neck and then slip the halter on. And she just stood there! So hard not to jump about shouting with joy! I never thought we would reach this point! Maybe it's a sign that now is the right time to start breeding with her

Here are two of her previous bubs, the palomino is a half brother to Pallidon.

 

[lucky lodge]

oh man there so cute.

:wub

 

[Wings]

I'll let her know

You can see why I'm eager to start using her!
