It's a colt!!! - Stedinger x Hohenstein

[YankeeLawyer]

My Hohenstein mare presented us with a beautiful baby boy tonight at the relatively civilized hour of 11 pm. This is her first and I am very proud of her as she handled everything like a pro.
I am thrilled with the colt (okay, he looks like a grasshopper like they do the first day -- but a fancy one!). He is bay with two white socks behind, and a big star and large snip like his sire.

Any suggestions for colt names starting with S are much appreciated (mom's name is Hofdame, which means Court Lady in German, aka Arabella).

I will post photos soon. Of course the battery in my digital camera was dead tonight; I should have listened to my husband and charged it yesterday : ).

CONGRATULATIONS!!! My name vote is Stanford. :D

That is a very nice name, but my alma mater (Brown) might be upset with me! Thanks for the congratulations. I am really psyched on this one : ).

[Bugs-n-Frodo]

Ummmm... :uhoh: Well, I really have to see the baby before I can think of a name for him. :uhoh: But, Congratulations... I am SURE he is lovely. :winkgrin: Love the lines and can't wait for pics... I will be thinking of names.

Congratulations. I am a fan of Stedinger and would love to see some pictures of your colt.

[blackstallion2]

Congratulations!!
Don't ask me for name help, my 2 week old filly still isn't named (naturally I had several colt names ready).

[hansiska]

Congrats! Pictures please....

[reillyshoe]

I Love Stedinger, congrats on your baby! The name Shogen is a Zen/Buddhist name that means "Eye of truth" I also like Steinbeck as I think Beck is a good barn name and I am a reader!

[railmom]

Huge congrats on your maiden momma and her grasshopper!!! We need pics :) What a fancy boy he should be!

[wehrlegirl]

congrats! what a neat cross....

[talloaks]

Congratulations YL, did you foal her out yourself??

[Signature]

Congrats!!! Need pictures!! :)

How about "Something Else" LOL

[Dutch]

Congrats! I look forward to seeing pictures.

[YankeeLawyer]

Congratulations YL, did you foal her out yourself??

No, I love my mare too much to subject her to that ; ). Dr. DelVento gets the credit for this baby. He did an awesome job. Shakira, my Sandro Hit, is up next; she is due with a Rousseau baby April 9th.

Thanks for all the congrats. I am going to try to get some pics today.

[not again]

Congratulations!

"Steadfast"

Maybe wait on that one till they gallop around the paddock!

[stacey ellis]

Congratulations! And I like the name that not again suggested: Steadfast.

[trakmom]

Congratulations on your new little guy. He sounds very handsome from the description. Pictures would be nice. Big coincidence: There is a Trakehner mare by Hohenstein imported about a year ago whose name is SPS + PS Hofdame; she has had one or two foals though. At first glance, I thought it was the Trakehner mare you were talking about.

[Walnut Farm]

Congrats again!! I can't believe Hofdame beat Dana :) :lol::D

I know you are in seven heaven!! and how times flies, seems like yesterday she was just a little baby herself! and now Hoffie is a mom herself ! and a good one to boost!

Can't wait to see photos!

[Home Again Farm]

We NEED pics!!! Huge congrats. I am thinking hard about using Stedinger again soon. :yes:

[Mozart]

I like Steadfast too.

Congrats!

We're trying to keep the foal announcements limited to the thread stickied at the top of the page, so when you get pics, please share them there. Feel free to include a request for name suggestions via PM. :)

Thanks!
