The past couple days have been crazy. Tuesday night we had the little colt that wouldn't nurse. And if that wasn't enough we also had a still born filly born that same night. But things are getting much better now.
Well first off here is the little colt that i was bottle feeding. Today he is nursing his mom on his own and doing great. Thank you everybody who gave me advice and helped me, i really appreciate it. I wasn't going to post pictures of him until i thought for sure that he was going to make it. Now that he is nursing and doing good i have a good feeling that he is fine. I am guessing he is a bay pinto, or possible a smokey black pinto. He looks like an Oreo. He has greenish blue eyes right now but they probably will turn dark. His mom is a cremello pinto out of 2 black and white pintos, we are pretty sure her mom carried the creme gene because she also had a palomino out of sorrel a long time ago. She also had several other palomino foals before we bought her too. The colt's dad is out sorrel Sids Rebel son. What color would you say he is then, i am not too good with color genetics? By looking at him i would say bay pinto but from a cremello pinto and a sorrel?
Then about 6:30 am this morning the foal alert beeper went off again and another mare was foaling. Hurried down to the barn and the baby was already half way out. It is a filly. She is either black or a really dark bay. She is out of the very first mare that we ever bought about 13 years ago. She has had a foal for us every year. She is 21 years old this year. The sire of this foal is also our Sids Rebel son.
