Twins

So gorgeous. She is such a lovely mare - I love that first video in the stable with her just snuffling him...so cute, what a lovely mum!

Thank you, she has hung on to him for quite a while as well just to add to the worry! So relieved to see his funny little face.

But to make up for it she is being a lovely mummy.

Here's a clip of her helping him to find the milk bar, he's having a bit of a wiggle and a wobble!

What a fabulous mummy, so gentle helping him find his way.

He looks a little belter, congratulations.:D
 
fantastic news!!!! when i started reading this thread again , i noticed that it was last year, and if you look, i told you how my mare had aborted, well turns out she didnt, you can see my little colt on my thread.

your guy looks awesome xxxx
 
She is a gentle giant bless her.

Alfiesmum that is great news, was he a complete surprise, or did you know she was still in foal after a while?

Feels even better after a bit of a struggle!

had vet out in beginning of march to geld my unrelated yearling and vet looked at mare and just shook his head and told me she was still pregnant. bloods taken but they took 5 days to get results by which time we could watch foaly moving. sexy boy arrived at 345 days all safe and sound :D
 
alfiesmum I have only seen one picture as no FB at work, but he looks lovely.

Fabbie ended up going 358 days just to add to our stress!

The white splashes might not stay as he may grey out, this is his daddy. So we will have to wait and see on that:

His face is funny though, I think his white looks like a parrot!
 
Absolutely wonderful, what a rollercoaster of a ride! Enjoy every minute with him, he's a special boy! x
 
Gorgeous baby! I had hassle with twins/ washing out/ more AI and so on with my mare 4 years ago, I've just started the resulting foal under saddle this week :0)

I was wondering for a name, how about C_____ (fill in the blank!) Perroquet since mummy is french and his white bit looks like a Parot!
 
I think it looks like a Parrot too, or a spanner!

She is actually German, daddy is French, and they are in France.

He still hasn't even got a stable name yet. Mum wont go for Colin!! She is currently calling him scamp.

Are you keeping your baby? We plan to sell this one, as we seem to be collecting horses, although after all the hard work maybe we should keep him!
 
Wow I didn't see this last year.
Massive massive massive congratulations :D
Absolutely gorgeous foal - Big white face and loads of socks..feel free to send him my direction :)
And Mylord Carthago! you lucky thing.
 
He is actually by Tilippe Le Bel. We tried over and over with Mylord but no such luck :-(

Tilippe was a last ditch attempt as we knew he was very fertile, turned out to be a little too true!

He is well recognised in France though despite being young, as both his parents are well known in the competition world, and hopefully once he starts his competition career the word will spread about him.

He is a lovely natured stallion, and so is the mare, so hopefully our little boy will be easy enough to deal with!
 
Campina Perroquet... (using Scamp as a starting point!) or Carthago Perroquet...

Yes I'm hoping to keep the baby (born 2009) so as long as she is generous under saddle she'll be staying. My dressage boy is 17 now and foals mum is 22 so I wanted something younger to replace them.

Her mum has been a fantastic servant to me. She is Argentine TB with lots of bone, feet like iron, good confirmation (if I was being critical she's big in the bum as she has a huge engine and a bit plain in the head) but most importantly she has a lovely rock solid temperament. I chose Catherston Springsteen for her as I wanted temperament of the baby over everything else. My horses live at home and are basically pets, so everything has to have a nice personality, good to hack, and ideally go and compete at dressage too!

Tiga (baby) is everything I hoped, EXCEPT she is only 15 hands atm (1 week shy of her 3rd birthday). I'm hoping she'll get to 15.2 since I'm quite tall! (Mum 15'3, dad 16.2).
