OMG!!! :bounce :bounce :bounce Precious!!!!

Can you tell how high the white goes on the hinds? I see too much baby hair to tell. How long is the white tip on her tail? Is it indeed white or baby flaxen? *prays for white*

Thanks for getting pics!!! :bounce :bounce :bounce

She has a really long tail. Most of it is white. True white, not flaxen. Though some of the hair could be baby flaxen. The whole bottom of her tail is white white.
She seems really dark too. More so than Frodo. Her legs match Silo's. High whites but you can see the black around the knees and hocks. Her under coat is black. I'm wondering if she'll be dark like Sultan. I wouldn't mind that one bit!
She is very spunky and loves scratches on her neck and cheeks. Touch her butt and she bucks. LOL.

Oh wow all that white would be really stunning if she goes really dark Like Grandpaw! :love

I told my husband at dinner how long her tail was. :laugh1 I was really surprised once she got dry just how long it really is. I thought at least 1/3rd to 1/2 was white white but I thought maybe it was wishful thinking.

Man... she really is Frodo's clone save for the tail! Or does he have a tail tip too?

I knew she was gonna be a spunky one. Once she got going last night I was :laugh1 at her racing around the stall and bucking for no apparent reason. She's going to be a fun one to train. :laugh1 I was also surprised how independent and exploratory she was. What a character!!

Frodo has the skunk tail as well. She has more white on her right cheek, but still has brown around both eyes. Really aside from the blue eyes and Frodo's black sock she's a twin to Frodo.
I love her pointy little ears!
I was cracking up as she was exploring and bucking and trying to figure out to trot last night. LOVE HER!

omgomgomg!!!
so....my appartment is pet friendly now....wanna send her down to visit me? I promise i'll send her back :twisted:
She is sooooooo cute! I want! You must keep us up to date at all times, you hear me? :D She is soooo cute i just wanna dunk her in my coffee!

Andrea Thu, 04/16/2009 - 22:49

HA! Did you see her bugging Silo to get up? :rofl She's tearing up that stall!

I don't know if they are rabicano. I always thought Frodo was just splash/sabino and that's what made the tail white. Ditto has got a ton more white in her tail! Forgot to check for belly spots.

accphotography Thu, 04/16/2009 - 22:55

Yup, that's why I said nevermind when I remembered he's Cory's dad too.

The white hair at the top of Frodo's tail is definitely rabicano. Splash on the bottom obviously. I think some of what you're seeing in Ditto's is baby flaxen and will shed out, but she'll defintiely stay dipped and likely rabicano too. I just see some hairs along the side of the tail that are pretty standard "baby flaxen" MO.

I'd love to know if she has belly spots!!

She's sleeping so cute now.

Thanks all! Silo is very patient with her. LOL. She's none too gental when asking for a snack!
Frodo's full name is Glenhaven Sweet Manyara.
I am so glad Silo had her before this weekend! We are seeing Jeff Dunham Saturday night and will be at the horse show Sunday. I probably would have missed it!

I'm watching Ditto back into her mom kicking :o So being this is my first foal... How do you reprimand a foal who tries to kick you??? I DON'T want a wild POS on my hands! LOL. Poor Silo!

I see the makings of an Alpha mare there - :laugh1 . Silo was trying to herd her back inside the stall and little Ditto just turned her bum to her and walked mommy back inside (backwards of course) and then tore off around the outside area...what a wild child.... :love :bounce :bounce

I use my alpha mare voice. Georgie kicked me once and has never done it again. I have to pull out the alpha mare voice on a regular basis when working with Diana though -- once was not enough!

Poor Silo... I hope she will start installing some manners soon. Little girl needs it!
