    My new Fleetwater Opposition Baby!

    Another update! Luna at two She is still remarkable. Insanely grown up for her age, takes to everything like she's done it her whole life (except getting her mane pulled :o ) Conformationally? there are some areas that leaves much to be desired (long pasturns, lower neck set) but she moves...

    My new Fleetwater Opposition Baby!

    Thanks, TheMule! I expect I'll find more of both her sire... and her mother, once I get on her. You couldn't DEMAND anything of her mum, had to ask and agree together.

    My new Fleetwater Opposition Baby!

    Just an updated shot, 19 days. I think I am going to repeat this cross, FO might not always improve the mare, but in this case he really did! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10100555117217554&set=a.10100521821168104.2569054.11312544&type=1&theater

    My new Fleetwater Opposition Baby!

    Thanks Mule! You've seen so many I know I can trust you on a Tyke opinion ;) I was very happy how she has come out and am considering repeating the cross. In Florida we have the luxury of fall and spring breedings so I though I would let her develop more and get a better idea around three...

    My new Fleetwater Opposition Baby!

    Mare is a CCI* horse, she is 3/4 TB and 1/4 ID, though you would think a higher percentage Irish! Her sire was a thoroughbred by Caro (IRE) and dam was by Babamist. On her dam's Irish side, she goes back to Water Serpent, sire of The Rock and Ideal water who sired Stream Lion. Lily (dam)...

    My new Fleetwater Opposition Baby!

    Thistle - yeah, this filly is exactly the same color as my Riverman (HOL) colt that was born out of the same mare in 2006, but looks NOTHING like him, especially in the head. Very very different. Helps in the ear department that my mare had huge ears too! I was very worried that I was going...

    My new Fleetwater Opposition Baby!

    Everyone on this board was so helpful when I was researching Fleetwater Opposition, many of you with plenty of first hand experience with his offspring! The US boards tried, but the experience with Tyke babies over here is very limited. I lost my FO baby last year, but this year my mare...

    Fleetwater Opposition

    TheMule - Do you know what type of mares some of those others were out of (conformation and personalities?) All of them seem to have a look about them, I can't really pinpoint what it is...They are all gorgeous, and clearly talented! Kerilli - Your mare is beautiful! What type of mare...

    Fleetwater Opposition

    Some of those last links I couldn't open, said login required. Thanks guys for all the info! This one I plan to hand raise for my own, so hopefully I'll build a lasting relationship. My mare has exceptional irish feet, and all of her foals thus far (3) have looked exactly like their sire...

    Fleetwater Opposition

    It was recommended to me from the Chronicle of the Horse forums that I come over here to ask questions regarding Fleetwater Opposition and his offspring. I bred my mare last spring based on recommendations, but without any real conformation photos... nothing that a short youtube video and the...
