Marlanoc Round Four!

[paintponylvr]

and here is my hat... Well, feathered headdress anyway. I used to have one similar to the "wine" hat, didn't realize that would be allowed on this ... ahh... mature thread!!!

I really like your Pallidon boy! Can't wait to see what those mares produce.

And Magni - what a neat little horse. Glad that you are enjoying him and getting to visit witht eh other horses at the breeders. So cool. Please share more.

[paintponylvr]

Welcome to the looney thread Paula

 

[paintponylvr]

I will say one thing... It's interesting.

Someone interested in giving the history behind the hats?

 

[Eagle]

Paula this is Bree's thread and she is know for being a tad looney

I've had mostly boys sooo.... golden girls right? RIGHT?

First up. Party hats are mandatory in this thread, picture evidence is required. I'll sit here and wait while you get them sorted, I'll also put mine on.

You all ready? Awesome! Here's my hat.

Going to make it a bit awkward to check udders when we reach that stage... but I'm sure I'll work something out.

Hello and welcome to round three of Marlanoc foals!

To the regulars, you know what to expect. Pure insanity, zombie like behaviour when the sleep deprivation kicks in, more pure insanity and maybe a biscuit.

To any newcomers we are perfectly sane

I don't do video feed but you get a lot of pictures over winter as bellies grow, udders as we get close and general good spirits. And pure insanity

Now settle in, I'll do my usual one post per mare with due dates, who they're in foal to and all those wonderful details so later (when the sleep deprivation kicks in) it will be easy to refer back to page one.

 

Here's my hat, because I'm the Norwegian in the bunch and love that she's been naming her foals for Norwegian mythology.



We're all pulling for fillies for her this year....so we're into the "hats" for the ladies!!

how big are your "paddocks"?

Paula we have 90 acres all up including my uncles paddocks, but we have about 100 head of cattle (including this seasons calves) so we would like to cut it back down to about 50 and work on having better condition cattle that sell better. the cattle market is so all over the place here though that its so hard to know when to sell and when not to sell...

love your hat by the way

Welcome Paula!

I'll let Pallidon know you liked him, he loves getting his ego stroked

As Renee said, the hats started because I'm a bit of a lunatic

and encourage lunacy in my threads whenever possible. Wait until I'm sleep deprived from foal watch, the REAL lunacy kicks in around that time

Your hat is fantastic so I'm sure you'll fit in well around here!

Anyway I'm a bit on the slow side of updates, been knocked over by a rather nasty cold so I'm only feeding and checking everyone. No camera for now!

But to keep all you picture nuts happy here are some pics of Magni from his old home.











And a bit of storytelling about his name.

Magni: An Old Norse name, "The Almighty, Powerful, High-energy" "might, strength, power, force" "the strong"

In Norse mythology Magni is a son of Thor by the giantess Jarnsaxa. He will survive Ragnarok and will inherit Thor's hammer Mjolnir along with his brother Modi.
When Thor kills the giant Hrungnir he becomes trapped under one of the giant's legs, none of the gods have the strength to save him until Magni "then three nights old" frees his father. 'See how ill it is, father, that I came so late: I had struck this giant dead with my fist, methinks, if I had met with him.'

 

[LittleRibbie]

Methinks he's awesome!! Methinks,too, you shall feel less ill and the gods will soon give thou strength to fight off evil cooties!!

 

[countrymini]

Love him! Good to see he's not afraid of heights

 

[Wings]

Well Magni means strength so if I'm not better by my next visit maybe I'll go anyway and see if it works

Love him! Good to see he's not afraid of heights

He's been trained to know that the bridge means carrots. I think I'll have to build him one

 

[AnnaC]

He is such a handsome fellow Bree, and with that name (and all that history) you are going to be in very safe hands in the future.

Hope you feel better very soon - coz we need some girl pictures!!

 

Of course, you know, methinks he is AWESOME!!!!

 

[Wings]

Apparently I'm going to be really mean because I won't be back to my computer for 24 hours so won't be able to share details BUT

something else is joining the family

(P.s. I also have more Magni photos, but we'll let this guy have a turn. Then Magni can have another turn. And then before I go away for another Magni trip I'll stalk the girls with the camera and they can have a turn (in their own thread

:rofl))

 

What a little cutie!!!

 

[AnnaC]

Oh what a yummy little scrummy - cute and gorgeous too!! Does he have a name??

 

[countrymini]

Aw how cute is he!?

 

[LittleRibbie]

He is a darling little one...but he looks like he wants a friend...oopppss I assumed....is he a filly or a colt!!

 

[Wings]

He is a blue mini dachshund pup, had to get blue to match the blue dun horse

He's breeders are the previous owners of Kalari, I've been waiting for him for awhile! I've named him Hansel.

More pics but the site is being grumpy. Magni will have to share with him when I do a pic update tomorrow!
