Almost looks like a dunskin, but is momma or daddy a dun? Can't be a dun without a parent being one. He' s so handsome I can't wait to see more pictures of him!!
 
Sure looks bay dun or buckskin dun, awfully dark dorsal for just countershading.

Congrats
 
Well whatever colour he is he is quite striking, sure wish he was a girl, he'd be a keeper. Looking to keep one filly this year, if I get one.

Fly's udder is quite huge this morning and milk is stickier and oilier than before. Not quite testing ready but we should be within 4 days or foaling if her previous records hold. Also she was pawing last night and she never does that and she pooped in the middle of the stall (horror!!!) she is such a neat freak about her stall. and the poop was runny. So it all sounds promising with Fly.

My Maiden mare Penny tried to bite me this morning when I checked her udder so she is close too. both of them are at about 323 days today.
 
Sounds wonderfully exciting!! Keep us posted. Praying for safe and uneventful deliveries of more beautiful babies!!
 
Well Penny the maiden started labor last night. Her water broke, one foot appeared. She contracted HARD and not much happened. I went in but there was just barely the room for my squished up hand next to the one leg, I thought, oh no, there is no way a head and two legs are getting out of there, so I positioned everything in a picture perfect formation and started pulling with all my might on each contraction. I pulled so hard I feared for baby's legs. After what seemed to me to be forever and I was shaking from trying, the head squeezed through and whoosh out came my buckskin (or dunskin) pinto FILLY!!!! She even has one blue eye. The poor little soul has beet red eyes from the pressure on her head, but she is alive and well and oh my god I love her. I wanted a keeper filly and I'll tell you it will be hard to top this little girl. Her name is Gypsy Rose.

Next up Fly is almost ready, milk is opaque and sticky, hardness is 500 but pH is only 7.8. So in the next two days or so I'd guess.

Oh Amanda, she is simply STUNNING!!! CONGRATULATIONS ON A GREAT SAVE !!!!!!!
 
WEll Fly foaled on Tuesday, June 2 (full moon) in the morning just before I went to work. How cooperative was that of her. I wasn't even late for work that day. Baby was a solid bay or so I thought until I took her out a few days later and notice a lot of white flecks on her rump and back. Appy? Anyways, so glad to get another filly. I'll get to pick which one I keep this year, although I'm still real partial to the buckskin pinto filly that Penny had for me.

Here she is. Name is Philly Flyer (her dam's name is Fly Away Home)

Congrats! It's hard to have to pick one - therein lies the temptation to pick and keep several of them!!!
 
Is that white around her eyes? Who's the daddy? Is there appy in the lines?? The butt is suspicious, as is the white around her eyes.

Can't wait to see the answers!
 
Congrats!! Cute, stout filly. O, nice - looks lijke you might have spots in the future...
 
Philly (the above foal) is out of my mare Fly who has lacing?. There seems to be a lot of dispute on whether It is indicative of her pinto or her appy parentage. Here is a picture of Fly's back when she is clipped out.

and an interesting thing happened last night. I got home from a weekend horse show, did all the milk checks. Carmels milk was yellow and oily and thick but not testing ready, so I suspected her to go in the next few days. 5 hours later, she dropped to the floor and started contracting. Baby was born easily. silver black? pinto. He's quite striking, I call him Huybers Utopia Black Ty Affair.
