Nancy the boys have their favourites and are begging me to keep at least one
Ten puppies! Wow, go Izzy!
And not only are they ten puppies but they are ten ADORABLE puppies!
Give Odette a not to squeezy cuddle from me
Her palomino is from her and the sire passing on their chestnut colouring with the sire passing on the cream gene. Horses can't hide the cream gene so they either have it or don't
I love colour genetics, I drive some of my friends nuts before foaling season caluclating the possible foal colours!

Penny's black colt came from the sire's colouring as Penny doesn't have the genetics to produce black on her own.thanks for explaining karinaso with my girl Penny, she is chestnut with flaxen mane and tail... she has thrown a pure black colt (to a black and white minimal pinto) and a palomino colt with white blaze, to a palomino stallion... so if she was put to a black stallion she would have more chance of producing a black foal over her lovely red? and would she have to have cream in her genes to produce a pally foal? to the pally stallion... sorry for hijacking Renee, I just get so fascinated by all of this colour and genetic stuff

Good boys! Glad to know it wasn't just my boys that always wanted to keep them except they usually wanted to keep them ALL.. Explains however, why I always had so many dogs LOL I was just as bad.Eagle said:Nancy the boys have their favourites and are begging me to keep at least one
Keep a puppy or two ..... just think of those BIG smiles on the kids faces!
Good thing I don't live close, I'm a bad influence.

As soon as she looks ready
she doesn't like staying in much so I want her to have as much freedom as possible until she looks close.

Morning Renee!
Sounds like a sensible plan, if she is not that keen on being an 'inside' girl.
Was just thinking about my girls yesterday when Cathy was here to do some foot trimming. We have decided to foal here rather than move the girls to Cathy's place, but suddenly realised that very soon we will be around the middle of May and we start foaling at the beginning of July. Plenty of time you might think, but as yet I dont even have a stable available, having dismantled all our indoor boxes for the person who wanted to buy that part of the farm, and then never purchased! I have 7 to foal (I hope, 7 were covered) and we are thinking about using gates to make divisions in one of our stone barns (boarded gates of course!) which will give us 5 big spaces and making use of 2 old carthorse stalls in another barn fo the two 'best friends' who will be quite happy away from the others as long as they are together!!
I went rushing of round the fields yesterday peering under tails (LOL!!) too early I told myself, but remembered that last year we had two foal a month before their due dates! (the girls all said "oh no, here comes our mad Momma again, poking around at our privates") Pretty busy here over the next 10 days with 'other things', then all should be quiet for a while, so guess we will have to start building and converting soon after so as to get them all in at night from the first week in June. Luckily they are an easy bunch of girls and will settle wherever we put them as long as they can all see each other, so hopefully they will like their new accommodation.
