[Eagle]

Ooooo CONGRATULATIONS

a daytime foaling, how civilised.

Where are the pics??

 

[palsminihorses]

Okay, got a few pictures to share. Now that she is drying off, she is a buckskin. Might be just a shade darker than Perfect. She has a really pretty head and straight legs.

It looks and sounds like she has nursed, but I'll be going back out to lay down and make sure! LOL Her cannon bones measure 7.75 inches. Smokey always puts the legs on his foals. LOL



She was getting sleepy in the last picture. Heading back outside. Chrissy is looking at the new baby from the isleway. Hope she gets the idea to foal today!! LOL

 

[MountainWoman]

Congratulations!!!! She's beautiful!

 

[Eagle]

aahhhh she is super cute

You better paint some spots on her before Diane gets here

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

Aww she is gorgeous, cant wait to see how she looks unfolded, sounds like she is going to be a good height though!!!! I agree though, get to photoshopping some spots on for Diane! ROFL!

 

[Becky]

Congratulations!!! A filly and buckskin at that! Yeah, where are those spots?? LOL

 

[Riverrose28]

Congratulations, and WOW!

 

[targetsmom]

Congratulations!! Buckskin filly with long legs!!!Should be a good size for driving.

 

[ratzo155]

Congratulations!!! I love buckskins and she is beautiful.

 

[palsminihorses]

Thank you all for the compliments on our sweet girl. She really is special, even without the spots! LOL Oh, and she does have one big spot............It's a big black patch above her tail! I'm guessing that will fade. LOL Chrissy is still holding out. It's supposed to rain tomorrow. I'm hoping she'll go ahead and foal tonight.

It's over 70 degrees and sunny this afternoon, so I went ahead and let Perfect and her filly (need help with a name) out for a bit. I got a couple pictures, so here they are.

 

Diane is here, and she's beautiful even without the "visible" SPOTS! There is a guarantee that she will get SOME appaloosa patterning or spots as she matures since Daddy is homozygous appaloosa. I know how to wait.........but I do it impatiently.

She's beautiful Pam -- and you'll have to let us know if you start seeing some white hairs hiding somewhere!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

 

[palsminihorses]

Thanks Diane! If I was any good at it, I would have 'photo-shopped' some spots on her for you. LOL I had a talk with Smokey about his 'homozygous tool.' LOL But I truly am quite smitten with her. She has 'Arabian ears'...........the ones that curve in.

Chrissy still has wax hanging, so I'm hoping tonight she will foal.

 

Well, this boy was born SOLID black, out of a true solid chestnut/sorrel mare. No characteristics at all -- then voila! At age 3 the changes began!!

 

[cassie]

congatulations on your stunning little filly! she is too cute!

hmm names... are you thinking of paddock name or show name?

wow Diane, they are some BIG changes LOL

 

[palsminihorses]

Diane, I don't believe I've ever seen such a drastic change on one with no characteristics! I would expect that from a foal born with at least characteristics. So WOW! Because I don't see any characteristics on this filly. LOL

Cassie, for a name I'm thinking of PALS Smokin Hot Carmel. I'm calling her Carmel, for now. I went in the stall and held Carmel and rubbed on her a bit this morning. It's raining and thundering here today, so they'll have to stay in.

Update on Chrissy: Wax hanging 1/2 inch!! I didn't dare touch it because I was afraid it would start streaming. Geez! About 2:30 AM my pager went off, and it looked like she might be starting labor. But then she 'shut it down!' LOL I let her out of her stall so I could clean it, and I've left her out in case she needs to roll a bit. But if it starts raining again (and it will), I'll be putting her back in her stall.

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

yeesh sounds like Chrissy is being as stubborn as our mares about sharing their babies! I love that name for your filly too! Dont worry about no characteristics yet, I have had them not show any mottling until a year old!

 

[AnnaC]

Oh what a pretty little girl - I love the Buckskins (with or without spots!)

Come on Chrissy - it's your turn now!!

 

[MyGoldenSunny]

She is beautiful!!!!!! Congrats!!!! Can't wait to see the next one!

 

[Eagle]

Come on Chrissy us Aunties want to see what you are hiding

 

[palsminihorses]

CHRISSY FOALED!! When I went out to feed this evening, she was leaking milk! I was praying that she would foal soon! Kept an eye on her, and she decided to foal at about 8:30 PM this evening. It's a filly, and I believe the correct term is 'near leopard!' Super pleased! This is the third near leopard filly she has had in a row. The first two didn't have any face markings, but this girl has a huge star!! She had a front leg up over her head. Other than that, things went well. We are leaving her alone to find the milk bar because Chrissy doesn't want any help!! LOL Here are a couple of pictures to keep you all satisfied until I can get better ones. LOL It's raining, so I'm not sure when that will be.
