Eek - I've just acquired another foal!

[Marigold4]

So ... after much thought and searching, I have put a deposit down on a foal to come here in the autumn once weaned. Had the foal vetted but I have bought unseen - something I thought I would never do. Feels good to know my foal will have someone to play with in the not too distant future and next year they will go out to shows together.

Gorgeous!

 

[Barton Bounty]

Absolutely beautiful!!!

 

[millikins]

That's a pretty little creature, what is it? M/F, breed?

 

[TheMule]

How exciting, looks very smart…. We need a bit more detail!

 

[Errin Paddywack]

Absolutely gorgeous. If she grows up as nice as she is now will be a stunner.

 

[Marigold4]

She's a Welsh Section B filly by Thistledown Black Knight. She's a bigger one and should make 13.2. Vet, who is a breeder herself, liked her and said she seemed pretty sane.

 

[Kunoichi73]

She's lovely!

 

[fetlock]

She’s lovely!

 

[ihatework]

Cute!

 

[Marigold4]

She's a fair bit smaller than my foal but hoping that that will be OK. In time, if she needs less grass than mine, she can go out some of the time with my gelding who is trying his best to turn himself into a fatty.

 

[Gloi]

Very cute. Are those grey goggles coming?

 

[Marigold4]

Very cute. Are those grey goggles coming?

Yes, definitely greying out quite rapidly

 

[SashaBabe]

Beautiful

 

[View]

I don't really know very much about Section Bs except that my lovely riding horse (my mare's previous foal, now 6) is part Section B (Kirby Cane Bugler). Perhaps wrongly, I think it's this bit of his breeding that gives him his quirky character - I adore him, despite his strong opinions about equine rights!

 

[Clodagh]

We had a couple of B’s for the children. They were wonderful, idk if we were just lucky but they were far nicer people than the A’s we had, sensible, athletic, fun and could do anything.
She’s gorgeous.

 

[Jeni the dragon]

She is absolutely gorgeous! What a stunner!

 

[ycbm]

It's a shame she isn't going to keep that lovely colour with 4 whites, but that's a smart filly

 

[Pippity]

Oh, she's a wee stunner!

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

Oooooh I like her... she's super pretty!

As a cheeky aside, if anyone wants an absolute darling, super friendly and inquisitive Connie x Warmblood filly to make 16.1hh give me a shout, it will stop me being tempted everytime I go to the yard!

 

[nikicb]

Oh she's gorgeous. A Welsh pony mare is always a winner for me! x

 

[Xmasha]

She’s very pretty

Yes, chestnut with 4 white socks would be lovely! I think she will be grey though by the time she gets here.

Just made the mistake of looking at Section B's on Horsequest. Could easily spend £15k. Good thing I'm far too old to buy any more.

 

[Prancerpoos]

What a little beauty! I am not surprised you felt the need to buy her

I hope that this foal will be sellable. Not intending to sell for many a year, but you never know what life has in store. I thought if I bought something nice, it would have a better hope of a good home if anything happened to me.

My neighbour breeds section b's and they are all born various shades of beige, parents colours are grey, chestnut, cremello, liver chestnut I love it when the foal coats start to shed.
And four matching socks too
