Gorgeous little filly foal born this morning! Mother gave us no signs of foaling anytime soon so had a bit of a lie in only to find a foal down in the stables mother and baby are doing brilliantly! Any ideas what colour the foal will end up being? Dam is a dark bay while the sire is a light bay. Very confused as the foal looks to be chestnut!! Either way she’s perfect!

Foal is definitely Chestnut (ee at Extension, any Agouti combo is possible depending on sire) that means you now know dam must be Ee A?. So she has a 50% chance of passing a dominant Extension (responsible for Black and Bay) and a 50% chance of passing a recessive extension (responsible for Chestnut when homozygous).

I’m thinking Penny, don’t know why but when I saw her I said perfect little Penny! Will have to see when OH comes home later what he thinks of the name!

She's like a shiny new copper Penny

Doesn't work for me I'm afraid, but I don't have an IG account . It does open the IG sign in box so I expect it will work for HHOers with accounts. IG used to let you look at a few posts without an account but sadly they seem to have stopped that.

Thank you everyone for your kind words! There's nothing more special than a little foal!

She's out of my mare who is by T'is Voltaire and then mostly Irish breeding and the sire is Vancouver an AES Stallion.

Photos attached of Penny and Bella getting to enjoy a rare day of sunshine last week!

 

[Alibear]

From last weekend, both happy and thriving out in the herd.

Lovely updates Alibear and Queenbella . Both unfolded lovely !
My cheeky little fecker of a colt won’t stand still long enough for a photo . He seems to be spending his time bucking, rearing and galloping. Reckon that must be the pony brain

Penny is a great name for a chestnut filly. She's lovely!
