Thanks I think Bay too but
Thanks I think Bay too but the silvery hue off her mane threw me.
Yes RF I plan to keep her - its been a long 6 yrs of waiting LOL.
I measured her this morning at 5 days old and she is a whopping 22 1/2" and has a cannon of 8 1/2"
Rosie is 33 3/4" and Sunny is 32 1/2". She definitely has been my biggest baby to date, she is very sweet though.
I got to take the rugs off today as there is no breeze and its warm so might get to get some updated pics
Ok so we got our sunny warm
Ok so we got our sunny warm day yesterday so I got to take off her rugs.
So here is Atiya at 5 days old.

LOL she is extremely full of herself but then she IS Rosie's daughter. Rosie is the matriarch and head honcho round here. And while a very what I would call quiet leader nobody dares cross her. One look is all it takes to have them shaking in their hooves. So I am guessing Atiya is going to take on some of that personality.
My hopes for this cross (for the last 3yrs) was a foal with Rosie's personality, large eye amongst her other qualities but to get Sunnys rather large movement and willingness to work. And it looks like I might have gotten most of what I wanted. I did ask for a Silver Bay Filly with 4 white socks and a blaze but I'm not complaining. She does have one striped hoof so I am hoping for at least 1 white sock. She also has some white hairs in the whorl on her face and lighter hairs that almost look like a blaze which is really weird so there is something going on but will have to wait and see what she sheds into. Her hair looks darker underneath so maybe a dark bay like her mother?
Get her tested for silver. A
Get her tested for silver. A friend had a bay silver Morgan colt foaled this spring. His mane was a very dark gray, looked black in pictures and his tail a mixed gray. Everyone was unsure if he was silver or not. Sure enough, he tested to be silver. So, some of them can be very dark. His mane is now lightening. You can see him here:

He's the 2nd foal right there on the home page :-)
Thanks for all the
Thanks for all the compliments on Atiya.
When you see her in the flesh she is like a golden caramel colour with a reddish tint. Her mane and tail are still that grey and black mix.
So definitely I will be testing her
Here are a few taken May 21st

There are breeds that have Silvers with dark manes and tails but Minis...well, we are having this discussion on LB at the moment and basically, Minis don't. Mini silvers have blonde manes and tails and if hse is Silver she would be the first. She looks typical Bay, and I can see no reason to assume she is not.
I think bay what a cutie!
