[LittleBittyBritches]

wow, ok. now i see the "v"

Cassie, Stormy has had 2 prior foals, but not with me. This is my first.

I decided to post some pics of Stormy's colt from last year for fun. When we bouht Stormy he was still nursing at her side. He was born August 13th last year. His name is Thunder. Here is a picture of him when he was 6 months old

He is a silver dapple with 2 blue eyes, and his daddy was a dun with flaxen mane & tail. Here is a pic from this July we showed him at his and our very first show.

 

[TRUE PICK]

wow, he is gorgeous! congrats

Oh Kara, that little man certainly travelled from being seriously cute to seriously gorgeous.

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Thank you guys so much, so since she had a colt last year, she's due for a filly this year, right?

We are considering keeping him as a second herdsire.

 

[Equuisize]

Awww. So how cute a fuzzy baby was he?!!!

He looks like a little stuffed toy as a kidlet.

You unwrapped a handsome young man for show season,this year. Congratulations.

Yes, you could be due a filly or you could be due a brother to Thunder.

That's the ?fun? of not being able to know. LOL

We wanted a colt for 8/9 years and we had nothing but fillies.

Not that we don't love them but gosh we wanted that boy.

We were delighted to get a colt this year.

Did you breed Mommy back to the same stallion?

Do you know what her other punkin's were?

Was she bred to the same stallion for previous babies?

I don't know if it matters - but it fascinates me.

i know I know

, but I will love it no matter what she has

. just want it to be healthy and her to be too. she was bred to the same stallion as Thunder for 2 yrs ago andi t was a filly , looked alot like Thunder only, pinto white markings. This year is a whole new stud. he is a 26.5 inch sorrel and white pinto, which we showed him for the first time this year too. here is a pic of daddy to be.

Definitely, healthy and happy mom & baby is the real goal.

But dreamin' is allowed. Especially now that you added the

new dad!! How fun!

Fascinating ... you've got a another whole set of possibilities. Does he have other babies on the ground?

He'd fit right in, here, with my red-heads. My fav!

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

I have a paint filly from last year here from him. She's adorable. I have seen a solid bay filly of his last year, but we never had her. He is Sweetwaters bred if that means anything...

 

[cassie]

Thanks,

Her udder appears slightly larger, and her ph is 7.5. I tasted the milk again, and it definetly was different than yesterday. I am new to tasting of the milk, but is it possible to be salty and sweet???? Does that make sense?

 

[Equuisize]

Progress!!

Stormy should get an extra cookie for moving in the right direction

 

[jessj]

Kara, Thunder is SO HANDSOME!!! I am even more anxious to see what Stormy is hiding in there now!!

 

[Eagle]

We are another day closer to meeting Stormy's filly

 

[AnnaC]

This is all getting very exciting - I wonder what colour Stormy's little filly will be this time??

Come on Stormy - we dont want to wait too long to see what you are hiding in there.

I agree!

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

I let Stormy out in the pasture, when I checked her, her udder looked about the same as lastnight, but her vulva looked noticably more elongated. I dont know if she just didnt clinch it when I lefted her tail like usual, or what. I will check it tonight, and see if I notice it again.
