Melody's surprise

[CheyAut]

So Tuesday Melodys udder was finally increasing, but still small. I sent pics to my friend, who owned her for most of Mel's life and had several foals from her. We both agreed that YAY to change, but at least a week or two left.

I'm not supposed to use the internet at work, so I only pull up the cam on my work computer when I KNOW they're REAL close. Otherwise, I check in periodically on my Droid. I checked in at about 11:30pm, Mel eating. At about 1:40am I took a small break, pulled up the cam, and OMG THERE'S A FOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Called hubby to wake him up and check on them. SOOOOOOO thankful all went well!!!

So, we continue on our colt streak *rolls eyes* But hay, at least we're getting awesome colts, with COLOR!

I have one mini mare left to foal, I SURE HOPE it's a flashy appy FILLY to keep!!!

So meet Melody's boy. He is still nameless. I do have a registered name I like that goes along with momma's name, so I'm considering that, and what barn name I could get from it, but until I decide I'm keeping quiet. I WILL be using this name on a foal, if not this one, so I don't want to give it away

So, here's our new fewcap colt! And I'm REALLY considering keeping this boy, even though I have plenty of boys lol!

He has one spot

And under his foal fuzz, he is a LOT more white, which is why I say fewcap vs snowcap (a fewcap is the homozygous form of a near leopard)

My friend (Mel's former owner) took these pics and sent them to me, I haven't gone through my pics yet. So thanks Laurie!

Oh I waited for years.... how do you get a homozygous Appy? You just sell the parents, LOL!! Well Jess, I am glad you have them at any rate so I at least get to see them once in a while! He was just a very few hours old in those pics, and it's hard to see all his white undercoat. His white face still just shocks me! Wasnt expecting that, hahaha

Crossing my fingers for you Jess on the next one being a colored filly since Mel didnt pay attention to the fine print about the leopard filly! But I guess she gave you the next best thing?!
