PlayTime Minis - Finished for 2013; See you in 2014

[Eagle]

Thanks, I don't go to the main forum much anymore. I will go and take a look

Oh Mary do not be disappointed! I have a giant book on conformation, but with all the other things I am studying and trying to learn I just don't feel like reading it. I printed out your post and then used my windows program to double print pics of mine, then I measured them. Problem is I don't have any true side pics, always a little to the front or back. I know darn well that there are lots of others who read it, or who are busy with foals, clipping, bad weather, good weather (which meas a lot of work to catch up on) like us. And it is also there for searches. Thank you so much!

Sweetie is gorgeous! I LOVE her color! You know the first year we had Missy, everytime she saw the camera she would turn her head away. I couldn't get a picture of her. Dan didn't believe me so I showed him. Every weekend when he was home lol. We had a big laugh. But since I have told her how pretty she is all the time, now she doesn't mind.

Your filly is simply stunning. She looks a bit like our little Velvet too!

 

Mary, I'm with you on the measuring for sure. I always do canon bone x 4 + 2 inches from the day of birth to about 2 weeks. I can't imagine how anyone could wait 3 months to measure!

I hardly ever go to the main forum -- I find myself getting "hot under the collar" there but I'll go look for it now too!!

I read it Mary and found the pictures and the info great. Just sorry I never posted a response, but thanks for posting it, I'm sure many folks will benefit, even if they don't say so.

Becky, and Blazing Star Ranch, Thank you!!!

Mary posted her chart in response to a tail set question I had and I found it very helpful and I really appreciated it. Thanks Mary! I like this forum the best of all because it is so relaxed and caring and non judgmental. Everyone loves their babies and all babies are equal especially in their cuteness factor.

I love Sweetie's coloring too. Never been up close to a blue roan before. And she's bred to a black and white pinto so can't wait to see the color of the foal.

 

[Eagle]

Yes Sara I am curious to see what colour they produce too, I bred my blue roan to my black/white pinto twice and got a black colt and a black filly

fingers crossed yours do better

 

[MountainWoman]

Renee, after I read your post I looked at the Equine Genetics color chart and see there's as much chance of having a black foal as a roan. I would never have thought that until I read your post. If I have another black foal, I'll have a matching pair.

 

[Eagle]

Sounds perfect

 

[cassie]

aww love those pics of Sweetie! she is soo cute! her baby is going to be stunning!

 

[MountainWoman]

Cassie, thanks! Well, the news today is that my boy placed second in all his classes this weekend. I'll have professional photos in a while. Very exciting for his first time out. No action on the Sweetie front.

 

[targetsmom]

Congrats on the seconds. I saw some results on FB and in that competition that sounds like a great result!

 

[Eagle]

Oh well done I can't wait for pics

 

[MountainWoman]

Mary, Danielle was very pleased. It was his first time out and he was the tiniest horse in the class. (Proud Mama bragging.) Thanks Renee. I can't wait for pics either.

 

[lexischase]

Is this Adriel?! I cant wait to see photos!!!

 

[MountainWoman]

No Lexi, not Adriel but another one of my boys. Adriel will be in Ohio showing in May.

 

[palsminihorses]

Congratulations on your colt's placings! That is awesome for his first show! Looking forward t seeing pictures.

 

[paintponylvr]

Congrats on the colts' placings at his show!! I know that is exciting.

I love roans - blue, bay and red! Someday, I will have a couple of true roans, but that's not in the cards right now. Glad that Sweetie is coming along, can't wait to see her foal.

Have you named the first filly yet?

 

[AnnaC]

Oh well done on your show placings - what a clever boy!! Really impatient to see the pictures.

 

[MountainWoman]

Thank you everyone. I named my filly Suzette. She was born on my sister's birthday and I wanted to name her after my sister. Still thinking of registered names. We spent today making Sweetie a very special birthing stall. She can't stand to be away from her other two BFFs so my talented husband built her a special stall where her BFFs can see her and feel as though they are with her but they are actually in a separate stall so she can give birth without their assistance.

Otherwise, I know they'd have to be involved. Now having that problem solved and all three BFFs happy, Sweetie has permission to give birth.

I know she was just waiting for my husband to return home to get this project done to her satisfaction. I've never seen such a bonded trio before.
