THE 2008 FOALINGS HAVE BEGUN--share pics here!

[okggo]

I'm sure there is a thread started already, but I was hoping we could use this thread to post pictures of our mares, pictures of who they are bred to and then their '08 babies. I guess I'm one of those people that really would like to see the mare that produced the foals in stallions brag pages. Really it would be so telling, what did the mare pass, what did the stallion improve on...etc.

If people start posting them, I'd be glad to start a web page if one hasn't been already. But in the mean time, can we use this thread to show pictures of our preggo mares and foals-to-be dads?

What-cha think? Too much like the other thread?

MOD NOTE: We checked in with okggo, and we've stickied this thread and are making it the defacto "Foal Pics of 2008" thread, so if you'd like to share pics of your new additions, do it here. Thanks!

[Fred]

I think it is a great idea. I love to look at pictures of the mares too.
Of course I haven't a clue how to post pics....but I still think it is a great idea.

I have two of my own mares bred and in foal (touch wood) for next year.

Tuppence II (Catch the Thatch) a ** event mare, mostly TB, imported from England, in foal to A Fine Romance
and
Jeweller's Mark ( pinto 3/4 TB 1/4 DutchWB) by Hallmark in foal to A Fine Romance

I have some great pics of them somewhere... ;)

[okggo]

Fred, thanks for the reply. If everyone agrees they would like this too, I don't mind doing the leg work. You can e-mail me pics to cothfoals2008@comcast.net and while I'm not a premie member (so can't post here) I can start compiling the photos to ultimately post a link....
I just don't want to trample on a thread or page someone is already working on (not about stealing someones thunder here, lol).

Also, for consistency here is what I'd like to see (if e-mailed)
COTH screen name.
Mares NAME and BREED with a CONFORMATION shot.
Stallions name, breed, conformation shot.
Due date of foal.

Also, feel free to give me a farm link or e-mail addy to include, if you want people to be able to see more.

Lets stick with conformation shots so we can get a really good idea (yes, head shots are pretty but what will they really tell us :)) And I'm going to be picky...DECENT conformation shots, not grazing or just rolled in the mud, lol. I don't mind spending the time to do this, so all I ask is you knock the dust off your girl, stand her up properly and get a nice photo.

I just created an e-mail addy, edited above, and the page will be started this weekend (hopefully).

2 TB mares/ both in foal to Waldaire. Pirates Widow is due at the end of April and Miss Annihilator in early May. The girls were bred only a few days apart.

What a great idea and a good deal of work for you...that is so very nice of you to put that together. I am like you and like to see both mom and dad. I try to show that on our mare pages too. I will compile my group and email you. Thanks again for taking on such a task.

[FLIPPED HER HALO]

Can I make a suggestion? Since we all love to see the babies, come 2008 when they start arriving can you add their pictures in next to their parents if we send them?

I'll email you the info/pics for my mare. I'm counting down for April! :yes:

[Hillside H Ranch]

Will send an e-mail with my list. Great idea and thanks for doing all the work!

[spacely]

I will email mine as well. This has been a fun thread in the past.

Definitely, that was what I was thinking.
I'll get started on a mock-up today...

[TKR]

I own a Thoroughbred mare, also approved by GOV to the MMB (and a Premium producer) that is in foal to Coromino for '08. It was a requested breeding by a client who has leased the mare. Her name is Daring Misdemeanor and her dam was also approved GOV/MMB and produced a Premium foal by Coromino who is now pursuing a dressage career in Virginia. My client wanted a Coromino foal and we felt Misdemeanor was a good candidate judging from what her dam produced. I didn't breed my other mares as I'm trying to downsize, but will probably breed Pure Preppy (TB approved TK) back to Oskar II next year after seeing what she produced this year by him.

Okay,
I have the site started (lets call it "Draft 1," lol) here http://cothfoals2008.home.comcast.net or here http://home.comcast.net/~cothfoals2008/index.html (for some reason the first link doesn't always show the most current updates. I am going to TRY to keep alphabetical by Stallion.

Again, the e-mail set up is cothfoals2008@comcast.net

Keeping in mind, I'm no web design guru, I do welcome lay out comments, but just keep in mind I may not know how to fix it ;)

Also, if you don't see your pics and I put them up, be sure to refresh your page.

Julie

[okggo]

Thanks to those that have contributed their crosses thus far!!
This could turn out to be a really fun link :)

[Valentina_32926]

I have to say that Nyla K is a BEAUTIFUL mare.
Does she move as well as she looks? (Dressage movement?)

[seramisu]

Looks great! Thanks for putting this together.

[HSGF]

Thanks Valentina.......

Nyla has lovely movement.....she was bred for the hunter ring but I have been told by a few dressage trainers that she has the movement for the dressage ring as well. :)

Thanks okggo for doing this great site for us! Beautiful mares everyone!

[fanfayre]

Yes, thanks so much for doing this!

I actually don't have any conf'n shots, but I'll send a picture of an action shot, if possible.
As she's in foal to A Fine Romance, you probably already have a shot of him!

[Dressage-ryder]

I just sent mine, thanks for taking the time to do this! :)

[AlexMakowski]

We have two thoroughbred mares in foal to Hanoverains.

Russian Stage - Top Scoring Non-Han @ High Point for AHS 2006. Top Scoring Tb mare in the country for the entire AHS 2006 tour with a score of 7.69. Tied for 13th overall (all mares accpeted) in 2006 for the AHS.
Bred to Sinatra Song of High Point Hanoverians. Due in Late February.

Queen Connie - Main Mare Book GOV. Highlights included an 8 on head and 6.5 on breed type. Rebred back to Rosenthal for an Late April foal. Filly from this year is simply stunning. We are soo excited!

Plans for 08 breeding season:

Get another mare in foal to Foxgen Himself and I am dying to breed to Carlow Clover, funds are limited with college though. Also breed to HPH's new Stallion Furst Impression and also Breed to Davignport!

[jlther]

Great idea! I like the page you've put together...it's neat to see the matches. Sending along my pics!

[genevieveg17]

Thank you so much for organizing this. It is so nice to see everyones mares.
It looks like a wonderful group of COTH foals expected for 2008.

Genevieve

[alliekat]

What a cool idea!!! I love to see all the matches that are "baking" for 2008. I can't wait to see what all of our girls produce. Great job!!!!

[Sugarbrook]

Would it count if I joined in with my two mares due this month? In fact I am foal watching one right now. If not,oh well. I tried. Let me know.

[okggo]

Sugarbrook, I wouldn't mind that. As long we keep the 07ers to those still due. I just won't have enough space to do both FULL years. Send 'em along :)

Would it count if I joined in with my two mares due this month? In fact I am foal watching one right now. If not,oh well. I tried. Let me know.

[Sugarbrook]

OKGGO....thanks!! My mare, Apricot Hill foaled at 2am last night. I will send a picture of this darling large bay colt tomorrow. If you decide to not do it, its OK. I understand. But we sure are excited at Sugarbrook by his arrival.

[Texarkana]

What a great idea! It makes me wish I had a foal on the way for '08 to contribute to the list.

And wow, I hope all the COTH breeders are proud. What a gorgeous collection of mares. No fuglies here! :lol:

Here's my OTTB mare Witch Is It who is in foal to Twyford Cadog who is a Champion Section A welsh stallion imported from Wales. She due May 26th.

This isn't the greatest conformation pic of Cadog, but it shows his how fantastic he is. It's breeding season and my 6 year old daughter can easily handle him. He's an absolute pussy cat.

*Twyford Cadog is by Twyford Gamecock out of Ceulan Camri by Twyford Sprig

I chose this stallion because I had two of his babies and they are such wonderful movers and jumpers and have hands down the best temperments of any ponies I have met. Here are pics of my Section A and a Welsh/TB gelding that I have since sold. Both by Twyford Cadog.

Hello, well we have 58 crosses so far! What a great set of mares on this board!!

For ease of posting (my own) I'm only going to add those to the site e-mailed directly to me at cothfoals2008@comcast.net. Mainly b/c it's easier for me to keep track that way.

Also, just a reminder to those who "owe" me pictures, please send them as soon as you can so I can post. I want to keep this link informational, and the images are a key part of that.

Thank you!!

[CatchaDreamFarm]

I have been excited about this page and looking at all the wonderful stallions and mares that are bred. I just emailed a few of my mares to have added to the page. Thanks for the wonderful job!

[mrsbwayne]

She is full appy out of two leopards, and out of a long line of appys. Everyone is always asking what she is, even the vet said last week she looks like a mini-warmblood, other have guessed Fresian and I forgot what else. Anyway, unless someone had an oops somewhere and didn't report it, or waaaaaaay back in the pedigree something else was in there, she's an appy! She is a real sweetheart.

The stud she is bred to has the same nice movement she does, full mane and tail like she has. Same nice temperment. His picture is below too. I'm hoping for some spots, but I don't care either way, that's going to be a nice baby.

[can't re-]

Thanks okggo for doing this, the page looks great.

Congrats happymouth on the early Rio foal. Lily is gorgeous! And it looks like we'll be on foal watch at the same time. :D

[cloverlone]

Thank you for doing this! It's fun to see everyone's mares for a change. I've sent my two along. Looks like you got the hang of your web design too. good job!

Great idea! I'll have to get a better conformation picture of my mare. This is Marcie Marie (TB) by Marcellini. She is bred to Torino (Heartbreaker/Cassini I) for 2008 foal. She is pictured with her 2007 filly, Ruffian by Raffaello (Raphael/Foxhunter).

Bumping for the lovely ladies!

[okggo]

FYI- finally got around to updating the site this morning with some new gals :) Hopefully I got everybody who e-mailed me. If it's missing and refresh doesn't work, let me know.
TIA!

[Heyday]

Czar's Precious Lacey in foal to Rousseau!
Two photos of Lacey on the left..... and in foal a few years ago... She is due 4/25/8
So fun to see everyone's horses! Good luck everyone!!!

[ljshorses]

Ughhh, I'm such a dingbat and forgot to email their due dates. Sorry, I will do that right now and thanks again for doing this, very cool seeing all the matches.

[MagicRoseFarm]

Ughhh, I'm such a dingbat and forgot to email their due dates. Sorry, I will do that right now and thanks again for doing this, very cool seeing all the matches.


Um... I am dingbat #2 :)

[ljshorses]

Wow! Thanks again for doing this, very cool seeing the stallion pic next to the mare.

[happy mouth]

Thanks, can't-re I am looking forward to seeing what we will have here. I was lucky, Lily caught on the first straw which means I have another. How lucky was that.

[hackinaround]

HappyMouth your mare stunning! What is her breeding?:eek: And do you have one more of her that you would be willing to part with!

[happy mouth]

Thank you, she is CONN/TB I had her dam. She is Greystone Ian McVai/Winged Brook. http://www.pedigreequery.com/winged+brook
She has been the love of my life. She had a lovely colt by Galveston http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/galveston6 two years ago who was unfortunately lost this summer. Just hoping this is as nice a nick.

[Halfhalting]

Wow, you guys have some seriously beautiful mares. I have a few favorites that I can't wait to see what they have. :)

[okggo]

I agree this is fun, and I like seeing the crosses. It's amazing to me the diversity of the stallions being used. Most of the duplicates are from mares owned by the stallion's owner. I'm actually a bit surprised, the ones that get plugged the most on here really aren't that over-utilized at all.

Hopefully this will really help us to see what the stallion throws/helps improve on the mares and vice versa!!

[happy mouth]

Julie, for some reason I am having a deuce of a time getting on the site to see all the ladies. :)

[okggo]

Julie, for some reason I am having a deuce of a time getting on the site to see all the ladies. :)


Hmm, I don't know. Free web space probably comes with quirks. I think eventually I'll have to break in to a couple pages, maybe by stallions A-? ?-Z. I am keeping the photos small, but it's still a lot of them to download when you try to open the page.

[okggo]

Okay, just did another update. I still need some things from a couple people (I'm going to take the lazy way out and post rather than e-mail individually :))

Tasker - I need pictures of Calida, Hope, Susquehanna, and Abracadabra. You're the only one I need mare pics of, and I'd really like to fill in those blanks. (My version of a guilt trip here). Please send...thanks!!

Magicrosefarm, risingstarfarm, grayfoxfarm - still need due dates for your gals.

TIA!!

[Samotis]

I sent a pic of my mare, but it hasn't been posted yet.

Golden Grace in foal to Roc USA, do I need to send you another e-mail?

[STF]

I have Puerto:

for an upcoming BWP foal in May 2008

:D

[risingstarfarm]

Hey Okggo - Bala is due to Deja Blue B on April 8, 2008 (well, that's figuring 342 days and her last foal was delivered at 361 days) - so.......

I'm good with April 8th! I hope it's April 8th! I'm very excited about this foal.

Thanks for doing this!

[okggo]

Samotis- nope, never got it, best to resend.
Risingstar, thanks, I'll make that update!
STF- feel free to e-mail 'em over :)

[Fairview Horse Center]

Jasmine is due May 1st. She is in foal to Nevada. This cross has produced several high placing babies at Dressage at Devon, so hopefully another nice baby (think FILLY!)

(Please excuse the shaggy photo of my boy, but he is in winter casual) :winkgrin:

[Erin Pittman]

Well, I don't have photos of the mares (or a confo shot of the stallion - something we'll just have to rectify, now won't we?), but here's who Dodon Farm has in foal for next year:

Detente, Oldenburg by Davignport out of Etoile (SF) by Bonjour in foal to Salute The Truth, Thoroughbred
Due June 2008

Leah, Canadian Sport Horse by Cozy's Commander in foal to
Salute The Truth, Thoroughbred
Due June 2008

Unfortunately, we were unable to get the following two mares in foal (one was a "freebie" and now we know why - uterus can't support a foal :no: :sigh:)
Valley Mirage, Thoroughbred mare by Valley Crossing out of a daughter of Sham (this is the no-go mare and she's soooooo pretty and fancy). Thankfully, she's turning into a nice moving riding horse so she can at least have a career!
Gallic Gal, Thoroughbred mare by Mokhieba - this mare has had 4 foals by Salute the Truth and the 4-year old (Soldier of Truth) has a sale pending to Bruce Davidson who wants him for Buck. She's having the poster children for Salute The Truth - they're all gorgeous, beautiful movers with great brains. We got a late start with her this year, then she had a uterine infection and didn't get bred because it was getting too late once we got it cleaned up. Will start early next year with her (biopsy was good)!

I'll look for photos - I'm pretty sure we've got some of Detente, none of Leah and just so-so ones of Salute the Truth (bad backgrounds mostly - not bad shots of the horse).

[STF]

Samotis- nope, never got it, best to resend.
Risingstar, thanks, I'll make that update!
STF- feel free to e-mail 'em over :)


Let me try to find the CD with Missy's GOV inspection pics. I dont have a good pic of her on the the laptop or website.
:winkgrin:

[twinlights]

We have one due in 2008. The mare is In A Dream, a TB, www.allbreedpedigree.com/in+a+dream5 (hope that link works) She is in foal to the Dutch stallion Oswald, due mid April. I will have to take some good photos of her. Just one question. Does everyone get permission from the stallion owners to use the photos?

[epsilon]

Well I added my girl, Victoria, who is in foal to Welton Double Cracker. This will be her/ my first foal so very exciting!
Thanks for putting this together okggo. It's fun to see all the crosses out there.

[twinlights]

Ok here is my mares photo , In A Dream, reg. TB in foal to the Dutch stallion Oswald.

[Oldenburg Mom]

I just sent my two ... now that I know my girl is in foal. :)

I also looked through all the stallions and mares. Holy Smokes, there are some really really nice horses there! Some of the mares are just GORGEOUS!!!

Okggo, thank you, very much, for doing this.

[talloaks]

Okggo, you are doing a marvelous job!! Super creative idea on your part!!
Thank You so much!!:cool:

[okggo]

Hi guys, I'll try to do updates tomorrow morning, glad you guys like the site! Question, is it opening better now that I divided the stallions into three pages? I've lost track of how many are on there, and it was downloading really slow.

On the copyright, I HOPE people are getting permission from the stallion owners. I would. I'm "assuming" that and posting what I get ;) so I'll plea ignorance if I get yelled at.

Also.....Erin, would you be willing to sticky this thread? I don't know what the protocol is for stickys, but if it's possible I would greatly appreciate it. I'm just planning ahead for when I start getting baby pictures from all of these mares!!! Oh my.. :) If not, no problem, hopefully it will stay visible.

[Oldenburg Mom]

What's really going to be interesting is when the kids start rolling in. I did that some years ago ... had a confo shot of Mom, Dad and Son. Then invited people to say, "Where did he get what ... ?"

By having all three, I think it's going to be a really fascinating site (with lots of hits!)

P.S. Whoops, I forgot the baby's expected arrival date: June 17, 2008

[FLIPPED HER HALO]

Well, I don't have photos of the mares (or a confo shot of the stallion - something we'll just have to rectify, now won't we?), but here's who Dodon Farm has in foal for next year:

Thank you :) I did a few updates this weekend and have a few more to do. I apologize for not getting back to everybody via e-mail, but I do go through each and every one I receive to post them.

Halo....who has the first '08 mare due??

[Oldenburg Mom]

I'd say that honor goes to......

Cassie's Gold (TB) in foal to Zillionair (TB)
Owned by Norsire
Due 1/1/08

Next on deck for January are:

Paloma 98 (Westfalen) in foal to Le Santo (Holsteiner)
Owned by Jesse's Mom
Due 1/2/08

Whit's End (Hanoverian) in foal to Le Santo (Holsteiner)
Owned by Jesse's Mom
Due 1/4/08

Mean Irene (TB) in foal to Romeos Bar S Robin (APHA)
Owned by Okggo
Due 1/19/08

There are several on the list owned by MagicRose but they don't have an official due date so for now they are just on my master list under 1/1/08.

[okggo]

Neat! Actually Mean Irene ("Mia") is "due" 1/19 so that buys us a little more time to hold out for that February foaling!!! LOL. Ugh.

[Pinto WB]

Scarlett (http://www.panacheacres.com/scarlett.html) (Perch/TB) in foal to ES Donavan (http://www.panacheacres.com/donavan.html) (Hanoverian)

Britta (http://www.panacheacres.com/brita.html) (Swedish Appendix) in foal to ES Donavan (http://www.panacheacres.com/donavan.html) (Hanoverian)

[okggo]

Okay, I just did another update. OMOM- fixed yours to Selle Fran. (sorry bout that!!) Manuel Breeding Farm -- NICE MARES!

Just a reminder to those who have combos, I'm only adding them if you e-mail me. Also, I'm only doing ones that are yours, not your friends or barn owners b/c, well, just cuz. Comcast and limited bandwidth ya know ;)

[okggo]

I'm just bumping this since it got buried :)

[BBowen]

Okggo:

Girl, you have outdone yourself on the 2008 baby race. This is a wonderful site. I really love seeing the sire/dam photos. It will be so much fun to see the babies of 2008 as they make their debut.

I am on pins and needles waiting for your youngster. I will be such a proud Auntie. It is so hard to believe it was over two years ago since we were on the waiting list for 2005.

Hugs, my friend.

[okggo]

Hey guys...I've been a traveling fiend lately :( but finally managed an update yesterday. Hope I got everybody up!

[okggo]

It's been quiet here lately...maybe I've got everyones combos :)

Well, my first is due January 16th(ish). She came to us in foal from a LC/pasture breeding and this is everyones best estimate so...I believe it, she is looking like she is around 310 days at this point. She'll go to the foaling facility after Christmas.

Anyway, I'm going to keep a count down on her like I did my mare in '05 if people want to keep updated. We aren't as savvy as foaling cameras, but it's something :) http://savvysporthorses.home.comcast.net/08countdown.htm and be forewarned, these are kind of explicit shots, so don't open that link with your boss behind you, lol.

I'm not sure if they are letting banned members back on (I'm hoping, at least for some!)? I noticed True Colours posting, so hopefully if Norsire comes back on she can keep you posted on her January babies. If not, hopefully she'll e-mail me :) Jesse's Mom is still on here, I think???

[TrueColours]

Here is a link to our girl's page:

http://www.angelfire.com/on3/TrueColoursFarm/mares.html

Puchi Trap is in foal once again to Guaranteed Gold for a June 10th foal and Shastan - a lovely 16.2hh chestnut sabino mare that Erynn Ballard showed on the hunter circuit, is also in foal to Guaranteed Gold for a May 30, 2008 foal. The new Bag Lady mare (due to arrive today - yay!!!) comes to me open, so her first foal will be in 2009 for us ...

Good luck to everyone with their upcoming foaling season! :)

[okggo]

Cool, if you want her added do you mind e-mailing it to me? It's just easier for me to track, so I'm only adding ones I received via e-mail (cothfoals2008@comcast.net).

TIA!!! And welcome back

Picture of Salute the Truth (Registered Name: Boy Gone Bad)
http://www.dodonfarm.com/Willytrot.jpg

Ooops...I am on Steuart's computer and originally posted this under his name....SORRY! I deleted the first time around and am now posting under MY user name. :uhoh:

Anyhoo...Hopefully, you're joking about Salute The Truth's Jockey Club name? His registered name is Boy DONE GOOD, not Boy Gone Bad :lol: He's also registered with PHR under Salute The Truth. I sent okggo a conformation shot of him and a photo of one of our mares he's bred to (though it's not a conformation shot - we don't have one of her). I don't have a photo of the second mare and not likely to get one because she's a shaggy gray/muddy beastie right now.

[okggo]

UPDATED it :)

Flipped...for your tracking, TrueColours, Inquisitive, Horsetales, Simrat, FriesianX, ErinPetersen, and Edgewood were all just added.

Thanks everyone!

[FriesianX]

I can't WAIT to see the foals added, this is such a cool weblink! I had to check out every single mare :D And I'm amazed at the COLOR on some of those Tbred mares, every Tbred mare I've ever seen was either bay or gray, this has opened up my world :yes:

OK, now holding my breath to see the foals added - Feb 08 comes first, right?

[Samotis]

My mare is due Feb. 20, but is maiden, so could have it earlier!

I think there are a couple due in Jan.

Actually we have a few January. Our "Mia" is due around January 16th (sadly we don't have an exact b/c she came to us in foal with an estimated due date).

Flipped her halo is tracking who is due, but there were 3 or 4 January babies.

I agree I'm excited to see the FOALS. I'm enjoying this, putting it together, and happy that you guys get some pleasure from it too! I just hope everybody who sent me their mares, is equally as good about sending the foals when they are born!!

[okggo]

Okay,
Just added Foxdale Farm, ShowjumpersUSA Ulissa, babygotjump, maddie, and ladydoctor.
I still need due dates and pictures from some of you...

Edgewood, I fixed your farm link, sorry about that!!

[Fairview Horse Center]

I think this is just awesome. Thanks okggo!! We should be seeing some outstanding foals this spring.

[okggo]

Well, we moved our TB mare "Mia" to the foaling facility on Saturday. She is not showing any signs of foaling soon, but it is nice knowing she has 24/7 help available and a watchful eye on her now. I'm excited, but kind of sad. The foal is already sold, so it's a double edged sword kind of thing.

Wanna guess on sex/color? Mare is carrying wide. Dam is a bay (probably carries a red gene) with no white, sire is a black homozygous tobiano paint (def. NOT homozyg for black, though as he has had chestnut tobianos).

I'm thinking bay and white colt, minimally marked....

Also, any guesses on when she'll foal? She is "due" January 19th(ish), and is a maiden.

How cool it's almost here!!!! I can't wait to see pics!

On the guessing, any trend in wide vs. low in determining sex?

[Irish Momma]

I had emailed details of my lovely mare Minx bred to A Fine Romance - Fred and I are co- grannies & eagerly awaiting this arrival :)

[okggo]

Irish Momma, you had e-mailed it to me before? I haven't gotten anything, but it may have been buried in the masses. I have two new in my inbox, I'll do an update this weekend. Sorry if you were missed, it wasn't intentional!

Halo, I can't remember. I took count in '05 and it was basically all over the board, so I think the safe thing to say is, wide vs low = 50/50 shot of colt or filly :)

Okay, just added Irish Momma, Hampton Bay, and G Sunset

[CatchaDreamFarm]

I got a COLT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Born at 5:30pm today. A Palomino colt by Titanic Uno and out of my halter mare, Ain't Gonna Happen..... Pictures coming!

[Simrat]

Wow! Congratulations!!

A New Year's baby - what a great way to start the year!

[acottongim]

DANG! That is impressive! Talk about "on the money"! LOL a New Year's baby!

I nominate YOU Catch a Dream to start the Foals of 2008 thread... or can we post individually now?????

[genevieveg17]

Congratulations. I am looking forward to photos of Baby New Year.

[Reed Hill Farm]

Reed Hill Farm is also anxiously awaiting the births of several colored and white TB foals this year! :)

[okggo]

Catchadream, congratulations!!! Feel free to e-mail me the combo (with foal picture OF COURSE!) and you can have the first foal on the site :)

[happy mouth]

WHOO HOO, a New Year's baby. How great is that. A great omen for a good foaling year. Well done mare. :yes::yes::yes::D

[quietann]

I wanna see baby photos :)

Seriously, I don't breed, but I am so anxious to see what all those lovely horses produce!

[FLIPPED HER HALO]

Congrats CatchADream!!! Can't wait to see pics!

[okggo]

We have our first foal picture, yippee!!! Here is the link http://cothfoals2008.home.comcast.net/~cothfoals2008/index3.html
The stallion is Titanic Uno, and the proud COTHer is Catchadreamfarm!!

What a cute pally!!! :)

Also, on a kind of sad note, if someone loses a foal, the mare slips/aborts, etc. PLEASE let me know. I just happened to catch in one post that someones Alla Czar foal slipped so I removed it from the site, but I don't have telepathic abilities to know this stuff. I want to keep the foal site current and need you all to help me do this. I have over 200 horses to keep updated, you just have your mares :) TIA!

[Blonde Filly]

Congrats Catchadream! This is your second one of the "year" so to speak. How is you 2007 Nov foal doing? Any updated photos?

My mare Cassie's Gold does not look like she is going to wait for my camera's to be installed. The computer guy is coming to install my camera's on Monday the 7th, but after she paced all night long and kept me up all night..I think she may pop tonight! She is going way early for an early winter foal compared to last year!!!! Maybe it is a boy this year.

Good luck to all on safe and healthy foalings.:yes:

[camohn]

I love that it is alphabetical by sire to compare foals out of different mares!

[okggo]

I love that it is alphabetical by sire to compare foals out of different mares!


Camohn, Thanks.

If anybody has problems with the site (I HAVE!!) there should be THREE pages of stallions alphabetically, a-i and j-r and s-z with flash buttons for each at the top of the page. If this is not what you see, you need to enable ActiveX on your internet browser.

[FLIPPED HER HALO]

Gorgous colt! Congrats CathADreamFarms! Two boys for you so far this year and both healthy and nice. :D

BlondeFilly - Good luck!

[chemteach]

I think this is just awesome. Thanks okggo!! We should be seeing some outstanding foals this spring.

I agree, the site is absolutely awesome. I have truly enjoyed seeing all the stallions and the beautiful mares!

Happy foalings to all and Blonde Filly I hope your mare waits until this weekend when it will be WARMER here.

[miraclewelsh]

I got a COLT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Born at 5:30pm today. A Palomino colt by Titanic Uno and out of my halter mare, Ain't Gonna Happen..... Pictures coming!

Congratulations! What a great way to start off the new year!

[DLee]

Thank you okggo!! :D

[okggo]

Bridget....how is Cassie's Gold???

Our (COTHs) first two foals of 2008 may be palominos :)

Mia is still not showing anything. I e-mailed her old owner for confirmation on her covering dates last year, just to be sure.

DLee, you are welcome!

[amdfarm]

Congrats, CatchaDream! That stallion is one beefy boy. Lovely! I have to live through all of you guys and my friends expecting 13 foals this year, as I'm not having any of my own for the first time in five years.

[Blonde Filly]

Bridget....how is Cassie's Gold???

I typed a huge message..but COTH BB ate it up and is extremely slow this AM..so the short of it..Cassie's Gold had a filly at 5:40 AM this morning. I will have to get a permium membership so I can post some photos...this is allowed correct? I will also have to contact Mod 1 on this..being they are automaticly renewing my premium membership today on my banned name...I guess someone forgot when they banned people to turn off the auto renew! :lol:

[talloaks]

Congratulations Bridget on the new arrival!! Must have been born at the coldest temperature of the year!! Got a special name like Gold Cold?;)

[CatchaDreamFarm]

Congratulations on the filly!! I can't wait to see pictures.

[okggo]

Congratulations Bridget on the new arrival!! Must have been born at the coldest temperature of the year!! Got a special name like Gold Cold?;)

LOL- what about Golden Shiver?

CONGRATS Bridget!! yippee!!
I can't wait to see her!

[Hocus Focus]

This is a grand idea and it is nice to be able to see all in one place. Sincerest thanks for all the effort being offered by the site manager. Very time consuming. This adds an interesting cross section of horses and fun to see the visuals. Gives more insight to the breeders and lets everyone feel apart of the COTH club. Best of luck everyone. Have a great year.

Both oh my mares are doing well to date and have been sex checked with colts. I am interested to see if that is truly the case. I would welcome error but healthy is the main goal here.

[genevieveg17]

Congratlations Norsire! I am so excited to see my girls full sister!
Send me the photos and I will post them for you.
I hope Cassie is feeling better. I feel so bad for the mares when they get so crampy after foaling.

[BBowen]

Congratulations CatchaDream and Blonde Filly. I don't have a dog in the hunt this year, but love seeing all the babies for 2008.

Okggo, the site is fabulous. It is so much fun to see the sire/dam and the resulting foals.

[genevieveg17]

Baby pictures!!
Here is Blonde Filly/Norsires new palomino filly. She is so cute!

[Fairview Horse Center]

Congratulations to the new moms (and grandmoms) :) Very cute!

I LOVE to see all of the new "sweet baby" photos, but can we also use this site as a learning tool by updating the baby photo later as we get good conformation photos of the youngsters? (3 weeks, 3 months, etc :eek: :lol: - sorry okggo :winkgrin: <ducks and runs for cover> ) It would be so nice to be able to see what the cross really produces.

[FLIPPED HER HALO]

Congratulations Blonde Filly! She's adorable - love that blaze!

[Blonde Filly]

I just sent Genevieve more photos to post for me of her whole body, now that she is up again.

It was 9 degrees when she was born this morning at 5:40 AM. She was shivering so badly we dried her off with towels for hours also put blanket number one on her and then removed it since it was soaking wet. She was shivering while laying down so I covered her with throw rugs to keep the warmth in. She has finally quite shaking and seems warm and content. This is why the mare's legs have not been washed yet..it is too darn cold. The mare still has some icicles in her tail from foaling this morning. The both seem happy and content now. Cassie was very painful even after a second shot, so I had the Vet back out and he did a rectal and she has some dry and hard balls in there so he oiled her with some warm water..she seems to be feeling better now too.:yes:

[genevieveg17]

Here are a few more of Norsire's little blonde filly.

[okggo]

Congrats on that cute pally filly :) You ARE the master of CHROME!! I think Gold Shiver is a suiting name, considering :)

Hmm, well. I agree this would be a good thing to have, and I don't mind adding them, but I have a feeling maybe 10-20% of people will actually send me these. Basically figuring a lot of these foals might be sold. In the mean time, feel free to send them (but remind me who you are and who the horse is when you e-mail, short term memory problems) as they unfold, etc. or if you want a picture posted. And if you want to REALLY do me a favor, resize the picture to 250 pixels HEIGHT (width can default at whatever) and then I can just plunk it in. Resizing is what takes up most of the time.

[Sassenach]

Aww now I'm getting all excited!!! We have 2 coming this year :D My Cici (*Catherine's Pride) is in foal to our stallion *The Quietman and our new mare *Fairyhill Queen came to us in foal to *Coral Bobby. :) Cici is due around April and Queen is due for June I believe. (Dad knows the correct dates) :)

[Fairview Horse Center]

And if you want to REALLY do me a favor, resize the picture to 250 pixels HEIGHT (width can default at whatever) and then I can just plunk it in. Resizing is what takes up most of the time.

Maybe you could post the size at the top of the web page to remind everyone of the dimensions you would like to have. Hopefully anyone that can will do that to make it as easy as possible for you. It is a LOT of work! THANKS!

Absolutely agreed! Makes a very handy reference for breeders and buyers alike. I see this as the way to go on this. For those who do not have super conformation pics, I think the look of good movement, and/or good jump shots too as long as they show the animal to his/her best advantage. Some horses have certain strengths and nice to show the most favorable for specific talents. Perhaps all that your horse has to offer is that he is the kindest horse alive, show it! That is as beautiful a picture as the best poser. There is no need to feel intimidation. All should be welcome. Just my 2 cents worth.

Some horses are highly photogenic. Others are just good horses, and not all of us are going to the Olympics. Flash and pizazz is awesome but on a day to day basis, it is the one on one experience that matters most and keep your limitations in mind so you can enjoy it. That is partly what I like most about an open site like this. It enables a whole world of hobby/happy folk to feel a part as well they should. The love of the horse should be enjoyable for all.

[happy mouth]

Oh my, what beautiful babies. At 9 degrees, I would imagine the teats are frozen. More pictures please and HUGE congratulations. I love the babies. :yes::yes::yes:

[okggo]

I just had visions of milk-cicles. LOL

Reg/FVHC yup agree with you both. I'll do what I can from my part, heck I use the site! There are stallions on there I have never seen and certainly took a second look at! And FV- good idea about the pixels, I'll add tomorrow when I do my update.

[HSGF]

Congratulations Catchadream and Blondfilly on your beautiful babies!:)

This link takes me to the site as you say it should be. The other link does not seem separated, just one file. Not a problem but it may be for others. Just a thought.


Ooops... I stand corrected... now this link works as well... Is it me????
Don't answer that. That will make me want to hurt you. :winkgrin::lol::eek:

It does that to me ALL the time. At my work computer I enabled ActiveX and that seemed to fix it but it still defaults to that huge-one-page thingy every now and again. Any web gurus that could tell me what is going on? Maybe it's a comcast thing?

Lesley, e-mail them to me, I'm doing an update tomorrow :)

[Hillside H Ranch]

Congrats on the new babies! Just precious!

[Blonde Filly]

Congrats on that cute pally filly :) You ARE the master of CHROME!! I think Gold Shiver is a suiting name, considering :)

Yup:yes:...Zilly puts the chrome on all of his babies and that dishy face too! :D This filly got the dish for sure!!! :D He has had so many with the three stockings and the blaze now..it has to be coming from him. The mare's will have 4 stockings, but the foals will have 3 stockings and the 4th leg gets some white spots. Very interesting though it is always a front leg that is missing the stocking and Zilly has two full stockings up front and one behind with a sock on the 4th one...so why does it reverse on the foals???:confused:

Thank you guys for all the lovely comments!!! :) I can't wait for everyone else's foals to start coming too! My next 2 are due the end of Feb..so about 6 to 7 weeks before I have anymore. This filly will be spoiled rotten by then, being the only one to spoil right now.

Cassie is feeling much better and has finally pooped and is acting alot more comfortable. I just worry to death for a few days, until I know for sure all is well.

My cams will be up next week so you can watch her out playing in the field on Monday.

[talloaks]

Hey Okggo, you mention resize the picture to 250 pixels HEIGHT but I don't know the pixels and only use inches, so what is the comparable in inches for dummies??:lol:

[okggo]

The comparable for dummies is just let me do it, lol. I have no idea how it would compute in inches! :)

Love the two palominos!! Congrats again you two!

[Donella]

okggo,
I am joining the excitement a bit behind here but what a great idea! I just emailed you pics of my ladies and their horsey husbands.
Beautiful foals so far!!

[Hocus Focus]

Some quite droolworthy horses, and offspring to be watching out for. Not sure about you guys but I for one seem to be rather drawn to the Popeye K mare, Nyla K and what she may be producing crossed with Balou du Rouet. Something is telling me a little "premium" flashing light is going on in there!!!! I think the quality coming from both sides deserves a Wow!!!

Anyone else seeing "stars" today???

"Talloaks" is always pretty tight on the "wow" factor. What gorgeous babies her mares produce. She is doing her homework well. Spacely has a very good "mare type" as well on "Westporte".
Some quite nice thoroughbred mares in the mix, which is always good to use as a value system when "window shopping" through the many thoroughbred mares that come available from time to time.

Nice choices folks. All the best. It is nice to see them all together and looking great.

[genevieveg17]

Here is a photo of Norsires filly's full sister Annies Gold Charm as a foal. They are very similar!

[skatepixie]

Aww Norsire! What a cute little darling!

[Donella]

I am wondering about the breeding of the friesian mare who is in foal to sinatra song. That is pretty interesting.
Dying to see the Quaterback foal too! Anyone else here expecting QB foals?

[amdfarm]

Congrats, Norsire! Adorable filly w/ all that white... very cute!

[okggo]

Okay, I just did a HUGE update (over 40 horses/20 combos). Lots of folks with maaany mares (I'm seeing cross eyed now!) so hopefully I didn't screw anybodies up.

Those of you with like 2 or more mares, PLEASE do me a favor and 1) Resize image to 250 pixels height and 2) Send me all the information I ask for. You have no idea how much time it takes me resizing and coming back begging for things like foaling dates or stallion pictures.

Also, when foals are born, please e-mail me (cothfoals2008@comcast.net) the picture you want up. It's hard to keep up with PMs, this thread, and e-mail, so I'm (generally) only responding to e-mails.

THANK YOU!! :)

[Blonde Filly]

Congrats, Norsire! Adorable filly w/ all that white... very cute!

Thank you! :)

[acottongim]

OH boy!!! starting to get in the mood now!! The pally babies are oh so adorable!!! Congrats! My first one is in a little more than a month from now... !!!!!

[DLee]

This is so fun!:yes:

I can't wait to see Red Wine's baby!

[Hocus Focus]

Huge undertaking. Nicely done. Thanks. I like it.

[DownYonder]

Cute site - it is fun to see the different crosses.

For those that are wondering - IIRC, 250 pixels in height is just under 3.5 inches. I'd have to verify that in PhotoShop, but I think that is correct.

Thank you Reg. I am dying to see this foal but still have a bit of a wait.

I am also anxiously waiting to see the Nyla K/Balou baby. Wow! What a knockout that one will be. There are many others I can't wait to hit the ground as well. Seems like most everyone here is doing their homework. :yes:

[HSGFarms]

Thanks Hocus Focus and Spacely.......we are all very excited to see Nyla's foal! She is coming up to her 8th month in foal and so far everything seems to be going great (knock on wood). We are keeping our fingers crossed it stays that way! The baby loves to start to kick and bounce around when Nyla eats her grain at night. :)


Spacely...I am sure Lark will have another beautiful foal......that cross will be awesome!

There are so many lovely crosses......I am excited to see everyones babies!

Wishing everyone a great foaling and breeding season!

[RiddleMeThis]

Thank you so much for setting this up. As someone who does not breed and probably will never be able to afford the high quality that the breeders on here are producing it is so fun to look and imagine owning these babies. So thank you for this oportunity.

[sophab]

Looks like lots of beautiful COTH babies this year! Best wishes for an uneventful foaling season for all!

Love the first 2 foals...my favorite color...and Bridget, that sweet little girl looks awesome in plaid! ;)

My own COTH foal (of 2003) is with her trainer right now getting fine tuned. Darn red mare, suddenly decided work just wasn't that much fun anymore. It sure is amazing watching them grow and mature, isn't it??
~Trish

[can't re-]

Yippee - another foaling season!
Thanks okggo, the website is great!

Congrats on the two new foals, and wishing everyone safe foalings.

[Silver Sport Horses]

Thank you so much for taking the time to post all the photos. I know how much work it can be.

[Blonde Filly]

Bridget, that sweet little girl looks awesome in plaid! ;) ~Trish

Yes that plaid blankie is awsome!! Thank you for such a lovely gift..she loves it too and is very warn under it. When I stick my hand under there it's like sticking it in an oven! Thanks again for your generous gift!!!:yes: It is just beautiful!!!!! :winkgrin:

[okggo]

Bridget,
Don't forget to e-mail me the picture of Gold Shiver (:)) that you want on the foals site!

For those of you that have problems with the site, I finally figured out what is going on :( ugh. Comcast doesn’t recognize server side script and the buttons are .swf so I guess some times it recognizes them and other times it does not. So the next update I do (probably friday) I'll get rid of the buttons and probably just do interactive text. My LORD this web stuff can be complicated!! Until then, just cope with it as best you can...

Also, found out Mia's last cover was Feb 14, 2007, so depending on what calculator you use, she is due the 20/21st of January. Yesterday I noticed she is finally developing a slight bag. I meant to check for milk but we ended up trimming her and forgot. I'm thinking the 28th (just because!) Seeing the new foals is making me even more excited for ours!!

[Blonde Filly]

Bridget,
Don't forget to e-mail me the picture of Gold Shiver (:)) that you want on the foals site!

OK..I will send new photos once we can get some better one's outside. It is in the 60s today and might hit 70s tomorrow here! This weather sure is crazy anymore!!! :eek:

My mare is a few days shy of 10 months! I am looking forward to seeing all the babies! Thanks for doing such a great job with your website!


Here is Gracie today, she is really starting to change shape! She is due Feb. 20th, but maybe she will have a Valentine's Baby:D

All I have to say is ..........HUNH:winkgrin: You lost me somewhere after server......

I love the way you have this set up. Obviously not something I can even imagine having to do. What a great way to see what a breeding combination produces. Good luck everyone......Can't wait to see the foal side of the page fill up.

Samotis, where are you from? I was admiring the background in that photo, and the cute pup :)

I'll do an update this weekend if anybody was wondering why theirs hasn't been posted.

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Resize photos to 250 pixels height and send all the required information. Otherwise yours will take me an hour.
Thanks!

Edited to add, I see you did all of that, phew, thanks!! That will save me a TON of time :)

[quietann]

On the photo issue -- if you don't mind doing it yourself, there is an awesome free graphic viewer/editor called IrfanView. Resizing is *simple* -- open the photo, hit control-R, set the height to 250, save it, you're done. I have been using it for years. http://www.irfanview.com/

(if you love it, do make a donation so the guy can keep it going.)

okggo, I also am late to the party and just sent two emails to you of my mares in foal. I didn't know how to downsize either. I'll download this friendly down-sizer when I get home and resend the photos if you need me to.

Thank you for doing this for all of us!!:yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

Or if you have Windows, just open Microsoft Office Picture Manager (comes with Windows). Click on the Picture menu at the top, then Resize. Then under custom width and height you can put 250 in the second field. Click OK and then File > Save As and enter a new name (that way you don't ruin your better quality original photo) :)

[eggbutt]

Thank you Inquisitive! I was able to resize just as you instructed and sent new photos to Okggo. Hope the new ones will work better for her!

[Samotis]

I am from Arizona. My mare is in my friends backyard. She lives in Gilbert.

The puppy is Bri. She is the daughter of my sisters boxer, but somehow she turned out like a mini boxer! She is soo tiny! (already over a year old!) She loves to bark at the horses:)

[Toadie's mom]

I've soooo enjoyed looking at everyone's mares. Putting faces to names:cool:
Couldn't resist any longer, so decided to join in. Hope the pics. I emailed are ok on size. Plz keep your fingers crossed for Hula and her foal, as she's had some bad luck the last few years.

[Blonde Filly]

Here are a few more of Norsire's little blonde filly.

I took some new photo's today of Cassie's Gold Locket and posted them on a page on my web site. She is 7 days old in these photos taken today. I did them by myself, but she was a natural pro for her photo shoot!!! :D http://www.norsire.com/lacyphotos.htm

Jesse's Mom- Congrats on THREE healthy foals, WOW :)

Also, I don't think I have a picture of Delovely's mom?

[Jesse'sMom]

You got mail!!

[Hocus Focus]

Well done with LeSanto. The tradition lives on. He is a lovely stallion and here's to another successful breeding year. You are going to have quite a few "home mades" out at inspections this year. Have fun and a safe healthy foaling year. Jessie is going to have to start helping more. Lots to do.

[okggo]

This is getting me really excited for ours, and if Mia cooperates, we are next in line according to those on the foal site :) She started getting a bag last weekend and it was fuller still this, but nothing to milk yet. I was hoping to at least get some clear yellow, but alas, nothing. I'm wondering if she'll hold out and have a February delivery...

You're time is approaching..... :yes::lol:

So far there have been 3 colts and 2 fillies....maybe you will tie things up!

Then there are another 12 due in February that I can see on the list. Oh, the babies are so wonderful! Keep them coming!

[cshmouse]

okggo, what a great idea. The web page looks great and you've got mail.

Congrats to all those with new foals! They all look great.

[Hocus Focus]

Dropped in to peek on the site and see if any new babies were here but found the site in "under construction" mode. Got a busy day ahead. Heading for Aiken tomorrow. Weather permitting.

I had to pull the whole site off to change the buttons at the top (long boring story). Anyway, it should be back up and I should have solved the problem that some users were having with the site displaying wrong. I hope.

I have a foal due via embryo transfer "out of" my TB mare Lilly, by Voltaire.
Lilly's pedigree is on the delmar site http://www.pedigreequery.com/. Her racing name was Matilda May.
Baby is due early April. We started trying three years ago. First try resulted in a dystocia with a fully formed dead colt, second year she lost a 4 month old fetus. This year we started with a double ovulation and two recip babies, but one didn't make it past 90 days and we have the one left.
Here is a link to Voltaire.

[okggo]

Just wanted to add a quick update on our gal. Her belly has dropped BIG time, relaxing around the pelvis, and a slight bag. She still has no milk. She is "due" today, but we all know what that means in horse terms, probably two more weeks :) I hope she waits until we are out of single digits at night and teens during the day!!

[eggbutt]

Can't wait for photos!

[Mia412]

I really enjoy seeing the mares' & stallions' pics along with the foals . . .

Congrats to all with the lovely new foals! I can't wait to see the rest!

[copper bay farm]

I had the vet out on Friday to check Truly, the rescued pony mare (under "Unknown Sire" on the COTH list), and she said the foal was "knocking on the back door" :). Friday evening she went though all the signs and looked to be in labor with contractions every 2 minutes. Then...... nah, I think I'll get up and eat some hay. And so I have been staring at her for 3 days..... watching her eat more and more hay. :)

I have been Suerte'd! :lol:

I was happy she kept it in last night as it was 4° here. Brrrrrrr. Please Truly leave it in the oven a few more days until the temps. break.

[can't re-]

Good luck okggo, I can't wait to see more foals!
My girl "due" mid Feb doesn't even seem to be thinking about foaling. Though she is huge!

[Fenway]

Otteridge Foxtrot's first foal of the year was born yesterday morning. A beautiful liver chestnut filly. (Out of Just for me, the dam of White Oak No Small Affair, Challenger's Never More Lovely, Stoneledge Just My Style & All for Me, etc) I'll try to get a few pictures. :)

Congrats everyone! It's too cold to be doing this!!

[FLIPPED HER HALO]

Any update on Mia? I know she's due any day......

[can't re-]

We want foals! We want foals! :D

Joy finally has a tiny little bag and the baby was moving a lot this AM.

[rideagoldenpony]

The first foal of "our" foaling season arrived last night for one of our mare owners. By Welsh stallion *Wedderlie Mardi Gras, and out of a TB x Hano mare -- palomino colt with PLENTY of chrome! And there's no doubt at ALL who his daddy is! Pics can be seen at http://www.welshponies.com/news.htm

Oh he is GORGEOUS! His daddy definitely stamped that one!!!

[okggo]

congrats rideagoldenpony :) !!! ANOTHER palomino for the early season, this is the third now :)

Halo, Mia is still baking that baby. Looks exactly like she did last weekend, not one change. We are at 346/7 days depending on which calculator you use.

[Joie]

My lovely Trakehner Lobelia (Donaufurst x Lottcha) foaled a cute little filly at 2:12 AM on 1-25-08:

http://www.four-leaf-farm.com/LieselFLF.html

She is by my thoroughbred stallion, Blessed Trinity. She's teeny, but she's a little hellion!!

[happy mouth]

Gorgeous babies, all of them. My Lily has 16 more days and I am sitting on needles. It is so cold down here that I am hoping she can hang on for a bit. And, I thought FL was supposed to be warm.

Can't Re, shall we make a bet as to who comes first? :lol:

[Sassenach]

Gorgeous babies everyone :) I'm dying for my foals to start arriving!

Who's keeping the colt and filly count?

[Home Again Farm]

Beautimous babies, all!!

My Rohanna is bagged up with clear, easily milked, fluid. She is at 312 days. She almost always foals between 319 and 325 days, so we are getting very, very close to that Hotline foal. With my luck she will have it while I am at the AHS meeting in Lexington next weekend. Happily, I have a superb person to foal her out. :yes: Waiting impatiently...

[Blonde Filly]

Congrats on the beautiful palomino foal!!! Love the name too..Puppy Love! :yes:

[FLIPPED HER HALO]

What cute babies! January seems to be a blonde month with all these palominos!

I have a list at work where I was trying to keep track of how many colts and how many fillies so far. I'll have to update it tomorrow. :yes:

[rideagoldenpony]

Isn't foaling season fun?! I just love seeing photos of everyone's foals! I guess I'm just a foal junkie! LOL

I have to live vicariously through my mare owners and you all until March.... though I've just decided that the mare I thought was going to be due first is probably not even pregnant. Grrrrrrr!!! The vet's ultrasound machine was on the fritz when we checked her, and now I'm kicking myself that we didn't REcheck her after it was repaired. Because she looks suspiciously like an older broodmare with "broodmare belly" vs. pregnant mare.... sigh.....

[acottongim]

BEAUTIFUL foals everyone! Love the blondies! :D Mary Lou - can't wait to see the Hotline foal and yes, she will prob foal while you are away (Murphy's Law in effect!). The closest I have is my pony, Angel, she is due towards the end of Feb and looks to be on track for a late Feb/early March foal!!! Got the foaling kit restocked and prepped today in anticipation.

[Silver Sport Horses]

The babies are great! Congratulations Everyone!!!

Hopefully I can add "silver" dapple to the group here soon. We have a couple mares bagging up . I already totally exhausted watching them but I can't help it since they are my studs first foals. I am just so excited!!!

[FLIPPED HER HALO]

Any updates on Princess Mia and the bundle of joy? No foal yet? :(

[inquisitive]

Augh... I'm so jealous. I have to wait until June! (took a couple tries to get her pregnant)

The babies so far are gorgeous!

[okggo]

Okay, quick update on our gal...352 days along FINALLY has MILK - YIPPEEEEEEEEE!!! Clear yellow and watery, I tested on predict a foal for kicks and it was one red the rest green (by the notes on the test, "retest in 48 hours."

Foaling attendant seems to think Wed/Thursday as a wild guess. One of these days, it will happen :)

[ljshorses]

okggo definitely sounds soon. Wow, I am getting my usual nervous self. My first two due are maidens and they are always the scariest anyway. I am starting to get a little udder development now but would guess I'm at least 3 weeks away from the first yet. Congrats to everyone on their healthy, beautiful babies.

[Hillside H Ranch]

Okkgo: I do feel for you! My mare is just at 329 days, but has literally been waxed up for a week! I just LOOOOVE maidens (are you picking up on the sarcasm)?!

[foxhavenfarm]

We apparently have to start our mare watch a bit earlier than we expected. Our mare Rebuy has been about 75% bagged for three days now and yesterday I was able to express milk. She isn't due until March 1. This is her 2nd foal and her first one was right on time. Her profile has defintely changed and she's getting loose around the tail. Soooo, we're predicting she's gonna foal about 3 weeks early...

We also have two maidens this year. Fortunately, both are due in the summer, so at least our night time watches will be comfortable. :winkgrin:

[okggo]

Oooh, fun! Update for today, more relaxation around the pelvis, milk is now a cloudy yellow and the Predict-A-Foal was 2 red the rest green. We'll retest tomorrow and I'll let 'cha know! I'm SOOO glad she is on 24/7 watch, I just wish I had "mia" TV here!!

[okggo]

Well, I think our foal watch with the attendant starts tonight :) Just got a call and was told "the only thing that would make me more sure she'll foal would be two legs and a head." We were going to check the milk after work anyway, but since she is totally relaxed, waxed, etc. I think our odds are good she will test high!

354 days today

[can't re-]

Can't Re, shall we make a bet as to who comes first? :lol:

You first! Joy seems to be taking her time and is finally starting to get some sort of a bag.

okggo - can't wait to see new baby pics!

Yay! How exciting for you!
I'm hoping that my mare will foal tonight, but I'm not holding my breath! 330 days today and has had wax for 8 days now. Today her milk is still yellow, but is getting cloudy and she is uncomfortable. Today is my birthday and it would be a great present!

DITTO THAT :)

[Hillside H Ranch]

Thanks guys! Keep your fingers crossed for me; I just went out to check on my mare and she is now slooowly dripping white milk. Hope she goes tonight as it is very warm and nice here today; supposed to snow tommorrow!

[spacely]

Happy Birthday HHR! Which foal are you waiting on? Is it one of you Indoctoros?

[Hillside H Ranch]

Happy Birthday HHR! Which foal are you waiting on? Is it one of you Indoctoros?

Yep, one of the Indoctro babies; can't wait to see them. Day 330 today and I don't want to get my hopes up, as I've had mares leak milk for 10 days before foaling. Keeping my fingers crossed, though!

[HSGF]

How exciting!!! :)
Happy Birthday Hillside! Wishing you and Okggo happy and healthy babies...can't wait to see pics!

[ljshorses]

Oh I hope both of you have your babies tonight and all goes very well. Best wishes and keep us posted.

[okggo]

NO baby yet. Last night she tested 350 with the chemetrics and 5 red squares (the most you can get) on predict-a-foal. The milk was skim milk color and got increasingly sticky as the night went on. She was restless but not terrible. According to the "kits" she should have her foal by 8 p.m. tonight (lets see how accurate they really are!!)

This am the udder was HUGE, I had no idea it could have gotten any bigger, and waxed up. She was quite the restless gal, pacing, biting and kicking at her belly, laying and getting up. If I go by the kits, our foaling attendant, and coths resident milk expert Norsire, tonight is the night. Last night I was going by the kit tests alone, by the pm her udder had gone down some, so our attendant gave her a 40% chance of foaling, but we didn't want to risk missing it!! So....

Hopefully....this is a nice mare, large boned but about as plain Jane as you get, solid bay, and maybe 5 white hairs total on her whole body. We were told the stallion she came in foal to was a homozygous tobiano, and he is black and white. I'm really excited to see what she conjoured up in there!!!!

Anyway, I came home to clean up (sleeping in a barn all night kills that fresh feeling!) and going to head back. No internet there, so thought I would post an update before I head out. I hope I have pictures to share with you soon!

Ohhh, and YIPPEE on this weather!!! 68 today and maybe 70 tomorrow! I can handle that!

[foxhavenfarm]

Okggo,

Is your mare up on Marestare?

[okggo]

Okggo,

Is your mare up on Marestare?

Sadly, nope. The foaling cam isn't connected to the internet. I want to video it though, and maybe just maybe I can figure out the you-tube thing!! I'm 99% sure it will be tonight (how is that for overly confident) but I'm sure she'll hold out on me just cuz!

LOL! :lol::lol: I was pretty sure it would not be last night..but sounds like tonight is the night!!! Fingers crossed. Remember not to bug her too much tonight..stay out of sight out of mind...going in a lot and her seeing you can delay her having it if she choses. Mares have the ability to put of labor if they are nervous and being a maiden she will want to think she is alone in the barn and all is quite. Good luck! Keep us posted! :D

[Hillside H Ranch]

No baby for me either! She stopped dripping, but udder is very tight with a ton of wax this morning. She was mostly doing a lot of walking around her stall last night, no rolling or pawing. Hopefully soon!

Okkgo-lucky you with the weather! Yesterday it was 75 here and by tonight they are predicting 5 inches of snow-you gotta love the midwest!

[ljshorses]

Hillside and okggo, I am getting so excited for you guys. I love the updates!! Please keep us posted. It is really getting me psyched for ours. The first may be here in a couple weeks. Got the cameras up and got the straw and foal kit is ready....I am very nervous. I hope you both have beautiful healthy foals!!!!!

[FLIPPED HER HALO]

if I remember correctly that's where Okggo lives (but I could be having a senile moment!)......wonder if there is a foal yet. Sending good thoughts your way! :winkgrin:

[Hillside H Ranch]

My first foal of the year was born this morning at 1:45 am! A dark bay Indoctro filly! Some of you probably remember that this was a high risk pregnancy; the mare was diagnosed with placentitis at 8.5 months and we have been treating her since then. The next few days will be critical for this filly, but so far she seems healthy and normal.


Okkgo; hope you have a foal on the ground by now, too!

[alliekat]

Congrats Hillside and we are sending good thoughts to your new little one!!!!

[okggo]

Hillside, CONGRATS!

Ours was born at 3 a.m. this morning exactly, a bay tobiano filly :) I'll have pictures shortly....

[ljshorses]

Oh my!!!! Congrats Hillside and okggo!

Hey for a mare with not much white sure seems like she allowed the foal to have some, wow! You've got a lot of work ahead of you keeping that cutie clean, lol. Just adorable, and now I am so excited! I am so glad you both had healthy foals.

I know!!! I've always liked the minimal white tobies so was hoping for a bay foal with a couple of small white spots. I got a white foal with a couple of small bay spots, lol. Oh well, she is cute as a tick and healthy, which is much more important to me!!

[talloaks]

Big congratulations Hillside and Okggo!! Great photos!!! Can't wait to see more pictures!! :D

Looks like I win the guess the foaling date on this one again!!!! :D:lol::D

Congratulations on your new filly, she is adorable and very well marked too...like a chocolate oreo cookie!!! :winkgrin:

[BBowen]

Congratulations on the new babies!!!!! I just love seeing the pictures.

Okggo - you filly is just adorable. I LOVE her markings. Hugs to you and the ponies, my friend.

[okggo]

Thanks so much everybody! It's such a relief to have her out safe and sound! She is already so mobile and her mom is a milk machine!!!!

I got some photos of her about 7 hours old, here are a few from all angles:

Her markings are pretty neat. Her left side had a sideways mickey mouse head (with ears!) and her chest has a strange shaped spot as well. She has black dots on her legs and near her hooves, her chestnuts all have brown fur around them, and she has random white spots, under her chin, in her tail, etc.

Looking forward to seeing the other babies!!

[spacely]

Congrats Hillside & okggo! I am so glad both girls arrived safe & sound.

Okggo, she is a cutie!
