HHO 2012 Foals

[htobago]

I am just searching for the Rennies. I am too old, fat, stiff and lame to show anything anymore !

Alice has been bred to carry me slowly, very slowly, after hounds in my retirement.......but then again she might be a maxi cob ! Thought you might like her. She wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea but like you, I like bone, depth and plenty of it.

She can only go in ISH youngstock classes and she won't hold her own against the others. I plan to take her to our farmers show for a bit of experience in July then chuck her back out and see what she is like at 2.

Built like she is I could put her on dragon drivings site as ready to drive ! She will be one on 11th May 12.

She is gorgeous - I am a huge fan of Archie, even more so after meeting him in person; he is such a gentleman, and remarkably light on his feet for such a big horse.

please welcome, black velvet, born this morning.
she is my 1st 2012 filly, dam and filly doing great. all went well, she is so nosey already and very good. loves attention and omg can she drink and drink and drink, has her mum tortured. waiting on my other mare she is 10 days over, but she was once 6 weeks over, but i do think we will have something tonight or this weekend. will keep you all posted. after that next one not due till next month. just happy mum and filly doing well.

THAT is the foal I am holding out for (although I am very taken with that little coloured filly!)

Aah thank you, what a nice thing to say. Just to whet your appetite, a very muddy Bea, we're now 324 days so not long to go now ! . Bea is one of those infuriating people in that she never really loses her figure through pregnancy and then has the nerve to shrink back quickly even while she's stuffing her face as much as she can; so not fair!

 

[Maesfen]

Congratulations Sky, looks a lovely girl, very nicely marked too.

Here's the very latest photo of this filly:

Awwww so cute, How big will she make ?

The stallion mine is getting 'up close and personal' with has a bay and chestnut gene. Mine is bright bay as is her father, trying to track the mother down to see what colour she is (Irish TB but never raced). A mare similar to mine threw a Chestnut last year so who knows

She's having her swab and blood done next Tuesday then in a couple of weeks away we - well she - goes.[/QUOTE]

I'll have to ask her breeder for height estimate, but probably 16hh I would guess.

Is that your mare in your sig pics? Looks nice!

Afraid I'm no colour expert, so no idea if you'll get bay or chestnut - sorry! Others on here can probably help with the colour-genetics - Enfys is good at this, I think.

You must be very excited, though - which stallion are you using?

She's like those film stars - except without all the crash dieting and endless workouts!

Met this little bruiser the other day.... Joey British warmblood by Amour G out of a Trak x ID mare.

Gosh - he is a big handsome boy!

Don't think I've ever seen a Trak x ID - would love to see the mare if you have a pic?

 

[htobago]

Htobago - Siangie River Dance, may have to be bubble wrapped and sent to me please!

So sorry amymay - I missed this post. Thank you! Trouble is, her breeder is in love with her too, so I think she's a keeper.

I think she plans to get her out in the show ring soon - a lot of options for youngstock classes with this one: PBA, coloured, sport-horse, etc.

Htobago (can't quote on phone )
Looked in my mares (yep one in my signature) and from great sam / sire upwards there's quite a few greys and a chestnut. Her dads side is all brown / bay.
She's being covered by Jendali also a TB. I ride one of his off spring and she's a real gem, jumps for fun and out getting good results all round as a 5 yr old and I'm no great shakes as a rider.
I actually keep my horse at the stud where he is so have 'dealings' with him and he's a really nice horse to deal with

 

[Carefreegirl]

That should looked into my mares dam's side......

 

[eventrider23]

Got my two all at once...like buses as they say...with one born at 1.40 am day before yesterday and one yesterday at 1.15 am!

Firstly we have Tink (ESH Sempers Satinka) who is by Sempers Spirit out of Blade Runner XX (Religiously x Copper Gamble x Fine Blade). Really flashy minimally marked coloured born 1.40am on 3rd May so 2 days old here. She is a bit undercooked - maiden mum - and so has lots of unfolding to do still.

Then we have Roo (show name still being worked on but she is a Kangaroo!) By El Thuder and out of Oakwood AJ (Eric the Viking (WB) x Rosie xx). Born yesterday morning at 1.15am. She is simply MASSIVE - especially as mum nearly 16.3!! She is the last foal for her dam and simply everything I could ask for!

 

[htobago]

Both really super Jane - I especially love Roo: so athletic!

 

[htobago]

Anglo Arab colt by H Tobago out of Little Starlight, a truly splendid mare by Gunner B. Bred by the super-nice Gemma and Sally Kirkham at Oakmeister Stud.

 

[htobago]

This is Volatis Valencia - the Arab x Trakehner filly I posted earlier (H Tobago x Holme Park Venezia), bred by Sacha Shaw (Volatis Stud), now at 11 days:

 

[wits end]

Not got many good photos since we send our mares to foal at a vets practice (I'm a Dr, so I can never predict if I'll be at home for the birth and I'd rather they had full supervision in the early days)
We've only got two foals so far, with another 6 left to go.
First we had a little filly, Dans La Nuit, by Don De Marcos out of Luna (eventer by Lanthan She did foal at home since I was taking some time of work, hence the goats, donkeys and wild ponies watching from the background

The 2 days ago we got our Future Illusion baby, a colt who will be going to our event rider aged 2/3 since she planned his breeding and used a mare she used to event. Dam is a dutch warmblood of unknown heritage, but a very nice sort.

Next to foal ought to be Mascara who is to Soprano, with the foal sold in utero and Super Hafflinger Pazia who is to Ridley (GRP)

 

[sporthorseP]

2 week old bay filly by Billy Mexico (Cevin Z x Le Mexico x Alme Z) out of a Wellington (Nimmerdor) mare. Totally in love with this girl!

I always forget about this sticky.

So many cracking foals here, when I have time I really do plan to read this years posts properly.

We only have four due on the farm this season, all by Zeus http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/dashbardee+jet

First one arrived yesterday (May 13th, Mothering Sunday here in Canada) out of a buckskin QH mare ... another palomino colt! Owners are absolutely thrilled, months ago they said they would love a bay, but I think they'd be delighted if it was purple with pink stripes to be honest,

Lexus is incredibly pleased with herself and a little foal proud, although when in the stable yesterday for a check over she did the most amazing thing. She had been keeping herself between the foal and visitors - understandable - but she actually intentionally positioned the foal near the wall so that her young owner (blind) could touch it - we couldn't believe it.

 

[Wagtail]

What a gorgeous mare and foal! Both beautifully marked.

 

[Spiderman]

Introducing the pretty filly Amabel, bay roan tobiano, by Amour G. Dam supposed to be TB x ID but as she is bay roan, I'm suspecting there's a little something else in there too.

 

[Wagtail]

She's beautiful!

Just Wow.....

 

[greasedweasel]

I have three so far (four more due) fairly appalling photos due to the fact that it hasn't stopped raining here since March (well it feels like it - LOL)

Rufina (Criollo x TB) at one day old.

Paloma (Criollo x TB/QH) at four days old.

Sakura (Appaloosa) at one day old.

 

[Wagtail]

All gorgeous. I especially like the little chestnut galloping. So cute!
