I've been so envious seeing all the other foal announcements - couldn't wait for our first to arrive.
We're pleased to announce our first '09 foal - a beautiful healthy little colt. First baby for our Bonus and he sure puts a beauty on the ground. Three more of his foals to go and we hope they are all as nice as this one.
Born 9:45pm on Thursday 3/12 - just two hours shy of Mariahs 330 day mark (that would have been Friday the 13th - yikes). Everything went like clockwork - we were present - no complications or issues. Beautiful birth and Mariah has always been an exceptional mother. We certainly got our imprinting done this weekend - the first born is always the most spoiled. LOL
He's healthy and spunky and the vet gave him a wonderful report - all his test levels came back extremely high so he's getting plenty of food LOL.
Silver Buckskin? His black points are becoming more pronounced now - these pictures are within his first 12 hours of life. Will share updated pics as he unfolds. And he's got BLUE eyes to boot! I'd be interested in hearing what some of you think his color to be? Perhaps updated pics would help. I can't say Palomino because although he has no black points on his legs - he does have black points on ears and face and some in his mane.
I'm going to have Bonus genetically tested - I'm more convinced now he may carry a dilute gene. He's a Buckeroo grandson and we know how many buckskins are in his pedigree and his sire, Little Kings Bonus Bucks is grey - so now that he's put a buckskin on the ground - I'd say his chances are pretty high that he carries a dilute gene - would you?
Introducing .... White Tails Bonus ButNBuck - what an exciting time for us!
