Who's expecting foals in 2011?

Forums

I know a lot of us are expecting foals this year, but nobody had started a thread yet, so here goes: I have 4 QHs and a Paint due this spring, all sired by Luna, cremello with sabino, so won't be too many surprises - all will carry cream. This will be the last year for foals by Luna as he is gonna go visit the vet next month - much to HIS dismay! First due is Maya due March 1, a sorrel carrying frame and minimal sabino, so will have another pali foal but hoping for some white this time (remember Goldie is a solid). Next is Destiny due March 19-24 (based on the week she went through 2 sets of fences to get into Luna's pasture - she spent too much time with Valley, learning her evil tricks), sorrel with splash white so another pali but hoping for another star and those nice boots like Destiny has. Samatha due March 30-April 3, bay carrying sabino, this is one foal I am anxiously awaiting - my first buckskin (maybe, as I don't know if she is EE or Ee... :roll: ) Patches due April 27-May 1, bay Paint carrying frame, splash white and sabino, so hoping for a highly colored buckskin - YOU KNOW I am on pins and needles waiting this foal...told hubby to take vacation because I got the foaling hut all ready for nightly "naps".... :pop Last but not least is Valley due May 25-June 1, dark chestnut carrying sabino. I am hoping for a darker pali this time, but if I get another Isabella like Delight with her beautiful big star, I won't complain...lol. I had intended to let her take the year off and breed her this spring to a nice Hancock-bred blue roan, but she nipped that in the bud - :BH So now THAT plan in on hold for another 2 years :twisted:

Pinto Zorses are cute, but I've heard so many bad things about Zebras. I met another Zebra breeder when I was at the vet with Jazz and he said that even though their stud was very gentle with his wife, they sold all of theirs. They, too, said you just can't get that wild out of them.

Yea, I've heard the same thing, but this guy rode his zebras and even let his grandkids ride them in parades and never had a problem. I think it is like a lot of different animals, it depends on how long they have been "domesticated", how they have been raised and treated, coupled with extensive training. I can say that the gentlest pet I ever owned was a 10 generation domesticated wolf - she had virtually no wild tendencies or traits. Shoot, she didn't even do the turn 3-times before laying down that every other dog I have even known does (Abby has to do it several times before she will lay down :roll: ). We could lay a piece of raw meat on the table and had no fear of her even trying to get it, but my lilac-point Siamese sure took advantage of every opportunity... :hammer .

Have you tested him, he looks like a Red Dun to me, no cream. This is Rabbit, Red Dun, no Cream, proven.....

Your incredibly smart stallion looks like a Red Dun Frame plus......hmm, Splash??
The first mare is a very good example of how Tobi tries to limit the white forward of the shoulder. In her case there is also Splash present, so she has a little star, which is cute!
The QH mares are not solid, they have white on the legs, which is is usually Splash or Sabino, but I would [i]really[/i] test the mare with only one white leg for Frame, very very quickly !!

I am not sure what I have coming this year!
I seem to have two foals due by Carlos, and two foal possible by Rabbit- he is 32 this year, but he was keen and happy to try, so I let him, he had one foal last year so he still has it in him!
I am aiming to breed two mares to my friends Fewspot- I have a foal due by him this year, and I shall put a couple to DC (Blanket Spot) and a couple to Carlos (Silver Bay Pinto) and yes a couple back to the old man!
I have a Silver Bay colt I would have liked to use but I have to sort out the animals I need to sell before I go mad breeding.

My bay frame mare is in foal to my black tobiano/sabino stud, she is due literally any second. This will probably be my last breeding season out of my stallion. He'll probably be gelded in the next month now that I have the horses that I want to keep and have sold most of the broodmares.

Lacey foaled a gorgeous palomino filly with blaze the other day.

VERY NICE HORSES!!

I agree the stallion looks red dun to me and his foals looks like a classic red dun foal too ;-) Love to see the sire tested for cream ;-)
