Hi Everyone! I thought that it was probably time to start a thread for Duchess.
Duches is a 29.5" AMHA (soon to be AMHR) Black Bay mare from Appaloosa lines. She does have some roaning on her face.
Duchess lived on a large farm that bred non registered minis for a few years and foaled for them several times. She was bought in foal by a friend of mine after that . She lost that foal during birth.(a gorgeous blanketed appaloosa colt) Not sure what happened, the foal was dead when they found it.
I bought Duchess in foal in early december. She has been pastured with an AMHA black leopard appaloosa stallion. Duchess was seen breeding on April 1-2, 2012 and has not been seen in heat since. If she "caught" on then that would put her at 300days on January 26, 2013; 330days on February 25, 2012; and at 365 on April 1, 2012. Because of her last foaling I will be watching EXTRA carefully. I do know that with the foal that she lost she started "bagging up" about 6weeks before foaling.
I hope to get from this breeding a black fewspot colt (wich would prove Duchess to be positive for LP) or a black leopard colt. If I get either of these and he has Duchess' pretty face and is nice and refined he would definitely be retained as a Jr stallion.
Since I bought her in the winter, I dont have any great pics of Duchess. (cant wait for summer to get here so I can dye her mane and tail and clip her!) Here are a few. The last pic is the stallion that she is bred to.
