When I got out there I didn't know if I wanted to strangle her for being sneaky or hug her for doing such a good job!

SPOTS!! That will please Auntie Diane.

He wishes it was his first venture! This year the Marlanoc foals are brought to you 100% PADDOCK!

This little guy popped his head into the world while some of the most torrential and heavy rain poured down on us all year!!

I think Fantasy wanted to outdo Rivain and Lyric, Lyric was born in gale force winds, the worst seen all year!

Twinkles is the sensible one, twice now she has foaled between storms giving her bubs at least one dry day!

:salute CONGRATS on the safe but unseen birth ....dusty did the same to me just woke up and

there was de-ago ....hows the little one going did you have to get the vet out .....

 

[Wings]

Vets on his way over. No urgent reason but I get him out to do a post foaling check on both mare and bubs the next day. In this case the little guy seems perfectly fine but because I didn't see any of the birth I definetly want that check up done.

Now before I dive into pics of the new guy here is Sterling. Because for once he wasn't following me!

 

[Wings]

I have to say this guys is rather impressive as I see more of him. Although he has a plain face he has good length everywhere and is very in proportion. He is looking like the kind of foal people won't pick as a mini.



"It's very hard work being a foal"



"It takes a lot of time to stretch when you have this much to stretch!"



"Why does Aunty Diane wants a photo of my bottom?"



"Muuuum just let me drink in peace!"



"What are you all looking at?"



"What are you doing, is it interesting?"

Sterling: "It is very interesting! You must help her at all times!"

Me: "Shut it Sterling, I only just got rid of you now that you've discovered food!"



"This is my mummy"



"...and he said why the long face? HAHAHAHA"

Fantasy: "This one thinks his a comedian..."

 

[lucky lodge]

wow hes a big boy but very nice

how tall do you think he is

 

[Wings]

No clue

:rofl

Fantasy stands at 36" and a bit

It's funny, he might be the tallest but in comparison to his mother he is smaller then Lyric was in comparison to her mum!

No idea how everyone will mature.

Pallidon is small horse but the mares where both minis. Lyric is looking tall and Sterling's legs are long!

Fantasy is the tallest of all my horses but bred to a mini. I could have them on either side of that height line!

WOW what a little Cutie!!!

CONGRATS to everyone at marlanoc!!!

P.s how did you come up with the name Marlanoc Bree??

I love his name Supernatural!! how cute!

those legs WOW!!

a definite little man! what a stunner congrats again Bree! you must be so excited!!

we still haven't seen that filly fairy!! Lyric...

we need to have one more filly please! well actually two... hehe, one from miss Saffire over in Perth! and maybe a little filly for me? in a few months

we all know Finn needs a girl friend! LOL

 

[Wings]

I'm actually leaning away from Supernatural now and towards Magic Trick

I think I'll spend most of the day working it out!!

I'm very happy with him, he is so nicely put together with a good dose of colour thrown in!

I had a chat to Lyric about that fairy. She says she hasn't seen it. Maybe she chased it off so she could be the only princess here?

Wouldn't put it past her!

Marlanoc is butchered gaelic. I put 'hillside' into some of those slightly dodgy online translaters and they came back with variations of 'mala cnoic' 'mala cnoc'

cnoc of course is hill and I think mala is actually eyebrow/rise and a couple of other things

:rofl

Anyway we liked the sound of it but with accuracy in doubt we decided to just change it so when reading it you got the sound rather then the actual gaelic.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Beautiful! Very handsome colt

[Wings]

Was this the last foal for this year for you? Am I reading it right? Congratulations!! Well done

:yeah

 

[Wings]

Was this the last foal for this year for you? Am I reading it right? Congratulations!! Well done

:yeah

Yup! And quite a strong finish as well!

4 foals all up, 2 buckcksin fillies, 2 bay colts.

Sadly one of the buckskin fillies was Ashanti's lost baby bringing my total of foals down to 3 for the year.

But I'm very happy with my 3, they are lovely, healthy foals with a lot of potential and all the type that I like to see!

Also it's nice to know I survived without going insane

:rofl

 

[a mini dream come true]

:yeah CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN! I may be insane

before it's over. I keep thinking I'm learning a lot and ready then I find out there is sooo much I don't know. Being able to be on here with you guys is wonderful.

 

[MeganH]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Love his tiny spotted butt!!!

 

[Wings]

Thumbs up from the vet

We're going to treat his stump a few extra times due to how wet it is and he has just discovered mud

But he and Fantasy are both in good health!

 

[a mini dream come true]

Fantastic!

:yeah

 

[Eagle]

Those legs and that colour

Well done Fantasy, what a wonderful job you sneaky thing
