IT'S A GIRL!
Born 1/29/14
Our first foal of the year has arrived and it's a sorrel sabino overo filly. She is sired by C Me Fly of Avalon Farm's AKA "Taz". She is out of Fike's Cadillac Sensation. Name ideas welcome!

I ALMOST always have to break the sac on the minis. I think it is a weight thing as well as the minis are exhausted and just lay there rather then get up.
Thank you Riverrose.
Checkers truly was an amazing horse and we lost a piece of history with him. I hope that with his one daughter and son I have left, they will carry on his legacy. I wish I had been able to see Checkers at Dell Tera Farm running with all his mares. I bet he was so happy...
I know some of you have already seen on facebook but not all of you are on there so I wanted to announce it here.
About a week and a half ago, we lost our main stallion Dell Tera's Checkers. He was an amazing sire and so good with the foals. He was one of the original sire's at Dell Tera Ranch...
We've had dark blue eyes turn brown. That's pretty common but cream eyes are also born a lighter blue and darken. They are lighter than your typical dark blue-->brown transition. Our palomino filly had eyes that were so blue we almost thought they were going to stay and then they darkened.
Too many factors. You cannot predict how much white a foal will have. It will depend on the dam as well. The only thing you can predict is that it will be carrying one copy of tobiano from the sire.
