2nd foal for us...

Forums

....its a colt! 20" tall with 7" cannon bones so will stay under 32" I should think. Savannah has had 6 foals and 5 of those have been colts!! Here is Slaneyrose Scirocco. So named as he came so fast AND thinks he is a racehorse and runs like the wind! PLUS, sticking with the wind theme....I have NEVER known a horse OR a dog for that matter to fart like him! He farts loud and often...just like a man! :rofl :rofl :love Can I ask a question re: his colour on this thread? He is almost jet black but has a brown tinted muzzle, will he be darker than a black foal that is the usual silvery colour?

I love the socks. I will defer the color question to those with more experience. Lord knows I don't have all that much experience with Black foals. :(

Oh how gorgeous!! Yeh, black tobi looks like to me too!

As for the black shade, I'm not convinced the foal colour makes all that much difference to the adult shade. Maybe the non fading blacks come out blacker? We used to breed 10-20 black foals a year, you think I would have noticed, but parents were black, we knew foals were black in their various shades, and never took much notice of it past that!! :oops:

LOL thanks Danni, It probably doesnt make any difference at all...but something I noticed today is that his muzzle isnt shaded brown, its the silvery grey of black foals I have had in the past.....and his legs are that colour too!! probably doesnt mean anything at all! :rofl :rofl
