I make fleece and waterproof foal blankets. Pretty reasonable. I agree that newborns need fleece to absorb wetness. A lot of dog jackets are small in the neck hole and they dont come down over the side far enough to keep the foal warm. I have fleece belly bands on mine to keep it soft. Here is...

We had a cremello stallion and a perlino stallion both. the perlino always looked dirty and creamy looking. Our cremello always managed to look the cleanest of all our horses 90% of the time lol. But yep, we could always tell the difference. Marsha

Thanks Chanda! Marsha

The colt looks nice but IMO has too long of a body. I'm sorry, but I just dont like the way Dream looks. her neck looks very thin and very short, it doesnt go with the rest of her body. she doesnt seem to have much hip or a good shoulder either one Crystal looks better of the two, a bit stocky...

I agree with pretty much everything said above. I would drive them and not breed them. This just proves that bloodlines dont make a horse perfect. They are cute but I wouldnt buy either one personally. I would consider them pet quality mares. I have learned that the saying that breeding mediocre...

I love the foal time strips, so much easier to do too. One or two drops onto the paper is much easier to get a sample. I just tried to get their website up and its not working anymore. Maybe they went out of business or ?? Marsha

So the palomino is a stallion? yikes, thats a big height difference if she could be in foal to him Marsha

Aww, poor things. Glad you took them home. Which one is the mare? Marsha

I think she has time yet. I know they can have jello butt for a couple of weeks or so. By looking at the pics I'd say you have time yet. The milk isnt changing anywhere near where it needs to be and her bag looks like she has a month or more to go. Do you know if she did have fescue or just...

Her hoohoo seems to be getting longer/looser. But holy cow, no bag to speak of. But my maiden mare looked like that about a week before foaling, she filled up that quick. I think she is getting closer. How relaxed are her muscles around her tail? Marsha

It really varies, it can be hours to days. Everyone is different. Marsha

the test has to be 6.4 or 6.0 before she foals. Sometimes it changes overnight or within a few hours. Marsha

It has to be like skim milk before she is ready to foal and sweet too. Good that it isnt salty anymore but it also needs to not be so sticky too. She is getting closer. Marsha

Thanks! Yes it will be. I am hoping it looks like the yearling filly who will be its half sister. I love Maple Hollow Farm's pinto girl too, very pretty. Marhsa

I got two before the sale as well. First is Little Kings Exchange, a gorgeous yearling buckskin filly from SMHCs Exclusive and Little Kings A Real Dream. I will try and attach a pic Second is a 3 yr old Little Kings Blazin Ovation a 3 yr old buckskin mare by Little Kings Bay Ablaze and Gold...
