Another BOGOF…!

His eye colour is from his (extreme) baldy face.

Baldy face? Am lost!!

I’m a horse owner of nearly 40 years (yikes) but I bought a pony mare last summer as a companion for my fruit loop mare and as something for me / the kids to ride when they are around. But it turns out she’s a BOGOF so we are awaiting the pitter patter of little hooves. I’m excited and terrified! All thoughts / advice / input welcome please !

MY.... look at that belly................................

I love a BOGOF, can only imagine the feeling you get when you realise the grass/hay belly is moving... makes me look at the overweight gelding suspiciously

That's simply what a lot of white on the face and over the eyes is called. Nothing to do with bald as in hairless.

Many baldy-faced horses will have what is known as a wall eye. Blue.

Interesting in the third picture that his colour is paler. Is he a rather dark buckskin and white, I ask myself. I wonder if this third photograph was taken in the winter months when palomino and buckskin is at its lightest shade.

Nothing useful to add, just wanted to wish you good luck, and hope you have time to update us when the little one arrives.

Oh thanks I didn’t know that. I’d also forgotten it’s called a wall eye. It’s really hard sometimes to remember vocabulary you rarely use ( I live in France so don’t suppose I’ve said wall eye for 20 plus years !) and French equine terminology is quite generic!

Thank you and I most certainly will !

And here he is. Arrived this morning with pretty much no warning! Mum did it all herself- I looked out of the bedroom window and saw a foal!
