Poll: Is this a filly year ... or a colt year. (Fillies are STILL winning!)

[Oldenburg Mom]

Let's see what the numbers show!!!

The numbers after each are if you had multiple mares ... e.g., you had 5 mares that foaled ... geddit?

[Oldenburg Mom]

Ha! That's 3 fillies to one colt. I predict it will be a filly year!

[Daydream Believer]

I have 4 fillies and 2 colts and 2 left to foal. I hope I voted right. Now my clients have 4 colts so far out of 6 mares....

[Tazzie]

The last 2 years were all filly years, and so far this is a colt year. 3 on the ground are colts and we have 1 more to go any day. This all from the same stallion too!

[JoZ]

The numbers at our farm are too small for any reliable stats... one filly so far this year and one (MINE!! MINE!!) will probably go within a week. I so want a filly!

I really hope it is a filly year, at least here. Last year, one foal at the farm, a colt. In 2005, three colts.

[inca]

I have bred 5 foals in my life - ALL have been fillies.

This year I broke the mold with a BAY filly, though. The previous 4 had been chestnut fillies (even though 2 were by a grey stallion and one of those out of a bay mare!)

A friend of mine wants to know my secret! LOL I just don't know what I will do when I have a colt - it will be strange!

[Dalriada]

One of each sex for the 2 mares bred for us.

[Oldenburg Mom]

Fillies are winning: 19 to 13. That's 59.4% to 40% IT'S A FILLY KINDA YEAR!!!

Of course you all know I've got a spreadsheet set up for this. Hahahahaha.

[Sassenach]

This year has been a filly year so far - 3 foals - 2 fillies 1 colt. Mares in Ireland are still to foal so I'm hoping the trend continues.

Last year was an insane colt year out of 7 foals 6!!! were colts :eek:

[Home Again Farm]

I have to wait until Rubi foals to vote. But so far at the farm where my girls are foaling we have had 3 colts. Two more mares are due (my Rubi and an Escudo mare). I am doing a frantic fillt dance for ms Rubi! :yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

[maple_brook]

2 colts for me...but then again, I always have colts. :rolleyes:

[LaurieB]

I just added 3 colts and 2 fillies. We were delighted to see colts this year, they're the first ones we've had since 2003.

[Oldenburg Mom]

Ok!

Total number: 52 foals

59.6% FILLIES!
40.4% Colts.

FILLIES ROCK!!!!

[Spike]

voted for 2 fillies but tonigh a 3rd one is born... so 3 fillies on 3 at my farm this year!!!

[county]

Numbers didn't let me go high enough but so far from our mares and customers theres 6 fillies and 3 colts.

[genevieveg17]

I am at 1 of each but hopefully by the end of this weekend I can give the colt side a boost (please, please, please).

[Edgar]

Ah, but that is only for the "internet fillies"
BTW, I had another gorgeous colt last night but can't add him to the poll.

[spacely]

Still waiting (that's good - she's only at day 317). I want a colt (because baby will be sold - boys are easier to sell), but have a feeling it's going to be a filly. If so, it would be my first filly & I wouldn't complain too loudly.:winkgrin:

[Oldenburg Mom]

Ah, but that is only for the "internet fillies"
BTW, I had another gorgeous colt last night but can't add him to the poll.

I'll put him in the mix, Edgar. And what ... only "internet fillies" rock????? :lol:

[Tazzie]

Well, Ringo's 4th and last was born last night and it's a 4th cold. So that's 4 for 4 for me! I already entered 3 in the poll since I can't add the 4th.

[RamblinRoseRanch]

Two colts, one filly. All born on or within 24 hours of due date. Don't hate me 'cause the mares are punctual! :winkgrin:

[La Gringa]

At the farm where I board, there are all fillies 5 so far exept one (Sidesaddlerider's beautfiul Colt is the only boy!). Almost everyone I know has had fillies!

They are adorable all of them. :D

[Fairview Horse Center]

I will tell Nevada his son is surrounded by 5 lovely girls. He will be VERY proud of the young lad. :winkgrin: :lol:

[L&L]

four colts for us this year............ mmmmmmmmm maybe a nice Lupicor filly next pleeeeeease........................ :lol:

[Reiter]

One filly so far, but one more foal due at the end of may! :)

[Oldenburg Mom]

Fillies are STILL leading: 49 to 42, which makes 53.8% v. 46.2%.

[talloaks]

The place where my mare will be going to on Wed in prep for foaling out has only had colts this year. I am hoping and hoping that things don't change!!! I want a colt!!!:lol:

[pintofoal]

2 colts for us so far
Celebration had a blk/w colt on 5/12, but she ALWAYS has colts
Deco's Favorite had a bay/w colt on 5/14 and come to think of it I think she has had all colts too :confused:
I have 4 more due but they aren't due until June and I guess I can't vote again but will let you all know...

[sixpoundfarm]

One redheaded filly for me. This is the 2nd filly foal from this mare. She's had 6 babies, first was a filly, and now the most recent.
A friend in the area has had two chestnut fillies already, she's got one more to go.

[Lime Green]

I've only ever bred two horses and they've both been fillies! I was expecting a colt this time, but I was wrong!

[Oldenburg Mom]

Fillies are still Rockin' on!!! 53 vs. 47 (53% vs. 47%)

[HFSH]

We've had 3 fillies and 1 colt, with 2 more mares due to foal.

[Tasker]

We had a grand total of 5 colts and 2 fillies. 3 frozen semen (2 colts, 1 filly), 4 fresh (3 frozen, 1 fresh). :)

Last year was a filly year for us - 4 fillies, 2 colts (1 frozen colt). Or should I say Thawed... :lol:

[nsm]

This year my first mare had a colt, my second is having a filly. One of each, I am pretty pleased about that.
I got curious and counted up the foals by Ironman this year so far and he to date has, 2/3 colts and 1/3 fillies. Last year it was almost 50-50. The year before was more of a filly year. But this year at least so far is the year of the colts.
Nancy

[talloaks]

My mare, who we all knew would have a colt, had a red haired filly!!!:lol:

[Sassenach]

3 fillies 1 colt so far for us with 2 more mares due.

Friends are 2 for 2 this year with fillies.

Sure beats the 6 colts 1 filly last year :rolleyes:

[carolprudm]

Two for 2 fillies this year

[spacely]

1 very big, healthy filly born last night around 7 pm!

[Home Again Farm]

Okay, I finally posted for me and the farm where my girls foal out these days. Total was 3 colt and two fillies. :D:D:D

[Shellythehorsenut]

The numbers did not go high enough for me. I had 9 foals 7 colts and 2 fillies.

[dbaygirl]

My beautiful TB mare, Marcie Marie, gave birth to her first filly June 6th at 11:15 PM. The filly is by Raffaello and she is gorgeous. She is bay, like her Mom, with a beautiful large tear drop on her face that tapers down into a very fine strip at the end. She has a tiny muzzle, her nickname is Teacup.

Is there a site where people on this thread are posting baby pics?...or can we post here? I will be posting pics of my filly on my web site this weekend. I've been busy playing with the new girl. :-)

[Tackpud]

I've had 1 colt so far - waiting on the second mare to foal.

[Sassenach]

Okay other mare popped at the farm make that 2 colts 2 fillies

1 filly in Ireland w/ 2 more to go

Friends are still 2 for 2 with fillies

[Canadian Starz]

:winkgrin: Well so far there are 6 Star Babies on the ground.
5 are Georgeous FILLIES with Bling for other people!
AHHHHHHH NUTS........Guess you can tell my "Filly on Order":eek: came with extra plumbing!:confused::confused: However he is a large, correct powerhouse, with magnificent BLING.....So I guess we will keep him till next year's order comes in. :cool:

[siegi b.]

We had our second arrival this morning - a colt by Sir Donnerhall! I tried to add him to the chart and couldn't because I had already voted with my first foal, a filly. So, maybe the numbers aren't totally correct.... ?

[genevieveg17]

I already voted for the first two foals (one filly and one colt) but have had 2 more colts and one more filly that can be added.
Only one more mare to foal and hopefully she is having a colt.
Genevieve

[Dressage-ryder]

We had a filly born yesterday but I can't vote again, so here is my filly vote!

[SBClancy]

I personally don't have any babies but between my two neighbors there are 3 fillies. All from different stallions.

[Shellythehorsenut]

I had two more colts than the poll would allow, 7 colts and 3 fillies. We have a lot of testosterone around here right now..... :D

[Fantastic]

One of my mares just had (last Sunday) colt #53 - added to the poll.

[TouchstoneAcres]

2 of each for me. But my stallion sired all fillies so far. Guess he doesn't want competition.

[Sacha]

I just added mine as the final foal was born last night, we have 5 fillies and 1 colt!

[patch work farm]

Sooooooooo envious of the filly owners! This is the first year that I have had 2 colts (usually get all fillies or even numbers of each gender) so now I am crazed with their antics (biting, leaping, mounting their dams, etc.).

I am surprised it is a filly year, I know of one breeder who had 3 colts, another with 2 colts, myself with 2 colts, my vet with 2 colts, 2 fillies and another friend with 1 filly, 1 colt. Seems pretty even or heavier for the colts??

I did put in my order for 2 fillies next year!!!!!!!!

[Reiter]

I just had a colt born, but it won't let me vote again. So maybe the fillies aren't really winning anymore? ;)

[Trevelyan]

4 fillies and 2 colts for us.

[showjumpers66]

We have had 7 colts and 2 fillies this year.

[Kairoshorses]

I've only had one baby per year, but I had colts the last three years.

My anglo-trak mare lost twins about four years ago, and one was a filly, one was a colt.

And my first baby was a filly, but that was....six? years ago.

[county]

Finally tally for ours and our customers was 9 colts and 10 fillies.

[Bravestrom]

We had a beautiful colt this year by braveheart

you may see him at
www.hotelfun4kids.com/horses.htm

[MagicRoseFarm]

we had 18 colts to 8 fillies this year by our stallion Beste GOld

[ljshorses]

It definitely has been a colt year for me. I had 3 fillies and 7 colts at our farm.

[Shellythehorsenut]

It definitely has been a colt year for me. I had 3 fillies and 7 colts at our farm.


Me too. 3 fillies and 7 colts. Blech I do not like colts.

[genevieveg17]

foaling season is over for me. I am no help to the poll though.
3 colts and 3 fillies .


Happy foaling to whomever is still waiting.

Genevieve

[tom]

17 foals.

12 fillies.

5 colts.

[Annetta]

for me it was 2 foals, both of them colts. I've heard many locally say they're having a colt year, but I just visited a friend who is definitely having a filly year-16 fillies, 6 colts and 2 left to come. She also had 5 losses--2 of those were colts & 3 were fillies.

I didn't actually care if mine were colts or fillies. Neither were to be for sale, and for myself geldings work just as well as fillies. I'd rather not have to bother with gelding, but it's really not that much money to have it done & with the good vet I use now, the procedure goes much better than it has with our previous vet.

Sadly the second of my 2 colts didn't get out alive, so my boy is an only child. He'll have a buddy at weaning time though as I relieved my friend of one of her colts! :D

[M.K.Smith]

1 colt for me

I jokingly kidded around that I could have a filly or gelding...
