Marlanoc Foal Thread

[Wings]

Two thumbs up from the vet! Sterling has bounced back from his poo issue with no problems and has strong and healthy vitals. he might be a bit cranky with me for awhile after all this fiddling though

Oh well, it's for his own good and they always get over it!

Twinky is a bit worn out, nothing serious but the birth took more out of her then it did last year. Last year she barely looked like she'd birthed somthing! We think it's because she never really returned to peak condition between foals. She is most certainly getting a year off so she can focus on Sterling and then have some time to herself before being served next year.

He is so easy to spot in the paddock! I just look for the little white dot moving about

 

[Wings]

Twinky is hogging him

I shouldn't be suprised, she did this with Derby as well for the first few days. Eventually she'll lighten up and bring him over to play.

I can still stalk him with the camera!





Check out the legs on him

 

[cassie]

WOW!! those legs!! WOW!!! lol what a gorgeous little man!!

oh n I have white face make up at home for Smartie lol I wonder... LOL

 

[Wings]

I'm in love with those legs

For me, the face is not the first thing I look at, it's the legs! If he gets an inch of his dad's movement he is going to be a real knockout in the ring!

And Derby tells Finn that not having white on your face isn't so bad, it means you don't need extra special washing and fussing on that part of you on show day!

:rofl

 

[Eagle]

What a wonderful job Twinkles! he is just adorable (we knew he would be) lol

Bay with a star is every little girls dream

 

[cassie]

naw lol thanks Bree

so how was your little man's first day? is he playing with Lyric yet?

 

[AnnaC]

WOW!! Bree he is gorgeous!

And yes, the first thing I noticed was his legs, the second was his big white star! What an attractive and handsome little man - well done Twinky, you cooked this little fella really well!

 

[Wings]

Thanks guys! Glad to know I'm not biased

Always my fear that I'll be going on about how stunning a foal is only to be told he looks like a camel!

He's getting much more confident on those legs of his and has done a few little canters! He only goes a meter away from Twinky unless Ashanti is there, he still prefers to be glued to his mum!

Lyric's not allowed to play with him yet according to the mares. She can sleep near him and she can come over for quick hellos but then she is, politely, told to back off a bit. I'm sure in a week they'll lighten up... or they just won't be able to stop him!

:yeah Yayyy I knew she was ready to go ..hes a stunner

:wub and another bay

..love his name too

CONGRATULATIONS

:yeah so glad you got what you wanted

I was chatting with another breeder this arvo and comparing Lyric and Sterling. We think Pallidon has certainly made a statement about what he can put on the ground!

And they certainly say the test of a stallion is in what he produces. Very proud of my golden boy

Shame he is only covering Rivain this year, but the year after he'll get more so maybe he'll forgive me

 

[Wings]

Quoting from the thanks thread

As for rhymes

There once was a filly named Lyric,

Whose trot looked rather rythmic

A filly fairy there was,

But no longer because

Miss Lyric is being rather cryptic

There once was a colt named Sterling,

Whose precence I found rather calming

All bay with a star,

He's legs go quite far

All up I think he's a blessing

 

[Eagle]

I will think one up whilst I am resting tonight. Byeeeee

 

[Wings]

LOL glad it was enjoyed, rhyming isn't really my strongest thing

as long as it sort of rhymes I just use it anyway!

 

[lucky lodge]

huge congrats on the safe and healhy baby boy he is such a cutey

 

[AnnaC]

More pics please!!

 

[Wings]

No new pics.... I've been out showing today

PALLIDON TOOK SUPREME SMALL HORSE!

I can't believe it! I'm all giddy and super excited, he had to beat some increadibly tough competition!

 

[AnnaC]

WOW!! Well done Palli.

 

[Wings]

I'm still bouncing off the walls with excitment!

Even though it meant I fed the girls in the dark and only got about ten minutes of daylight with Lyric and Sterling. They were both hooning today in the wind! As you all know wind and storms stire Lyric up big time and Sterlign kept trying to join in... then running back to his mummy when it all got too scary

:wub

Will definetly stalk them with the camera tomorrow to make up for it!

 

[lucky lodge]

congrats on your win did you take pics
