Couple NEW PICS of Hope and Flirt

[Jill]

Brenda Harrell sent me some clipped pictures of "Flirt" (Harrells Flirting With Perfection, amha pending) and "Hope" (Harrells Rowdys Reflection of Hope), the 3 week old filly and 4yo mare I am purchasing from her and her husband.

I think I am in LOVE! Flirt is a silver buckskin but clipped off a different color than I think she really is. Hope, her dam, is silver dapple, and her sire (Ten Ls Spirits Afterglow, a son of TenLs Echos Captive Spirit) is a perlino. So Flirt is for sure a dilute and we think silver buckskin (see last shot of her prior to clipping).

Planning to show Flirt, the filly, next season and then one day breed her to DunIT and Destiny. Hope, the mare, will also be a wife to my Erica boys

Seeing the new pics of them made me feel so happy and excited last night. Part of getting these new horses has meant parting with some horses I already had (and love) but who don't fit into the goals I have now. I've been blue thinking about Spirit, my silver near leopard appy mare, who is leaving for her new home next week. I have a couple others here who are also sold and will be leaving before long and then one to get pictures of this weekend and advertise. It's a lot more fun buying than selling, but I know it's all part of moving towards this goal I have.

Thanks for looking and my new girly girls!

The filly looks silver bay, but im not sure that she could be and have cream. She dont look buckskin.

 

[lvponies]

They are both very pretty!!! You've got to be excited about bringing them home.

Well, her color does look different now that she's clipped but I'm sure she's dilute (and probably buckskin) since her sire is perlino. Actually, our own Vertical Limit / Carol raised her double dilute sire, TenL's Spirits Afterglow, who is now owned by Seahorse Farm. I know Khaki is very much buckskin but right after clipping looks different (then grows her dilute look back in a few days).

I'd actually like little miss Flirt in any color but given her parentage, she cannot be silver bay. Here are a few other pre-clipped shots...

She does look silver bay, but a silver bay with the cream gene(since she has to have the cream gene) is a silver buckskin!

They are both so adorble Jill! The filly looks so good after her clip job! I bet you are just thrilled!

... You've got to be excited about bringing them home.

Oh, man, I am!!! They're not supposed to come home until September when Flirt is a little older but I was thinking last night it might be real nice to have her home in time to show her at the State Fair! However, it just scares me with such young foals (both the travel to get from MS to here and the stress of showing) and I'm not sure if I will aim for that or not... But she will be out with me and "the boys" next season if not also the end of this one.

Flirt does look Silver Bay right now, these Mini's are so darned much fun, each season they are a different color, if you have one you don't like, wait a couple months, and you are sure to get another color soon! LOL!!!

They sure are pretty girls, you did good!

Thanks everyone! I am very excited about Hope and Flirt and appreciate the Harrells giving me the opportunity to call these girls "mine".

I have the same kind of good feeling about these horses as I have had about the ones I got from our own Ms. Erica

:

Goober that I am, I do also love the anticipation of having horses coming to me and all the day dreaming about the day they get here, etc.!

And, Carol, I think this now makes you family as well as mentor to me
