I ran my mare and stallion together for a few months. I only saw him serve her once and I thought it was just out of "submission". She was showing no real signs of being in season. I took them apart a few months later and left it at that until in June when I thought she was looking a little large for the feed she was on. Took her for a scan and she was in foal! She foaled on the 29th september. A pinto filly by my pinto stallion. Her name is Hermione. still working on a show name. She was my stallions first foal.

Last September my mare, Gem, gave birth to a black filly who sadly got stuck and died. I sent her back to stud for a free return and she wouldn't come into season so I brought her home and put her in the paddock while I thought what to do with her... My procrastination went on for months and months...

One day I decided to check her udder...And she had a slight swelling. That slight swelling grew and grew until she was fully bagged and ready to go. I felt so sick with worry because of her first foal, but I need not have worried. A little colt was born, he practically fell out. And to my surprise was a chestnut pinto.... Just like my stallion. Surprise surprise, her and my stallion had a nice one night stand. I am not disappointed as I was going to breed her to him eventually anyway, they just beat me to it. he was born 4th of october. My stallions second foal.

His name is Presley (as in Elvis). show name is Cherry Wood Suspicious Minds

And here is the sneaky little crap who surprised the heck out of me by getting two of them in foal so close together.
