We are expecting 3 this year... 2 planned and one "oops". We had someone trespass last October, and they opened gates. Apparently our 5 year old tiny silver buckskin is a one shot wonder, because he managed to get her bred on one cover! These three foals are all potential keepers, and we did breed with the intention of keeping these foals (well, the two we planned anyway! The third is a potential keeper because we love the parents, but it was not a cross I had planned). While we are not averse to selling these foals, we are really hoping they will be what we want (pinto filly from my chestnut mare, and colored anything from our Orion mare... the oops I just want alive, as she lost her first foal in birth).
Quite frankly, after losing my only foal last year to being stillborn, I really couldn't care less if they were green, with purple stripes, as long as they hit the ground live and healthy. Of course I wish they were all fillies (out of 7 foals, a whopping 1 has been a filly), and colored, but that would be icing on the cake, and just make me more happy. I'm going to be on pins and needles till Missy foals in September.
