It's a Boy

My lovely mare, In the Danger Zone, had her new baby on May 5. We aren't sure what color he'll be. Daddy is a buckskin, and Zonie is chestnut. Right now he looks black.

He can be seen here:

This was his very first day outside--he is 5 days old in these pictures.
My favorite is the one where he's playing Mighty Wild Stallion!

I'm very happy for you!! I know how stressful a horse's birth can be on the human - never mind the mare! Glad the birth was successful, and he is okay. Do you have a name yet? And what is he going to be? Pleasure, riding, or working?

Hello to everyone!

We have no real idea what color he'll be. We have probably 10
experts & 12 opinions!

His dad is a buckskin, I'm a Megabuck; and mom is a chestnut, In the Danger Zone.

We are waiting to see if he tells us his name, but so far he has been more interested in playing.

He will probably be a show horse. Mom was a top show horse, and while dad has been shown sparingly, he too is good. The big question is whether he'll be a high-stepping performance horse like mom & his grandfathers, or if he'll be a flat-shod horse. Zonie was supposed to be my Western horse, a nice little mare for me. But no one told her. She's 17h barefoot, loved being up on the show pads, and really loved showing off. Nothing intimidated her--stallions, crowds, nothing. She just wanted to show off. Unfortunately her career was cut short by injury, and now she's a broodmare.

(If you go to the picture site & click on home, you can see her showing as a 2-year old. Her first son, Break On Through, is there too. His first show is this weekend--I hope he's ready, and if he is, I fully expect him to be good at it. His father is a multitime world champion, and just sold for $1 million--for a half interest. Shocked

)

So we don't have any names yet. If he'd been a palomino like we expected, I had loads of Elven names. But now that he's a we-don't-know-what, I'm at a loss!

They are all so very beautiful. I would love to ride such a beauty just once. I am not complaining about my islandic sorrel mare - she is really very cool - but I would really like to ride such a tall and noble horse.
I am really happy for you,

Vil, if you have an icelandic, then you have a cousin to my horses. They are also gaited, and very fun to ride.

Zonie is waaay too big for me! But I loved riding her anyway.

You have Icelandic horses, KhazarKhum & Vilwarin? Well, that's cool! Cool

17h? that is pretty tall.

we have three ADORABLE ponies that we rescued from an abuse case near our town. I spent hardly any time re-training them; their owner had done a very good job at that, but then she died and the husband neglected them. one was lame, one had founder's, and all were severly underfed, but I worked with the shelter people, for about a year with them, and now we have three very sweet, gentle, and kid-loving ponies.

but most of my guys range from 15 - 17h, but we do have a fellow who is just at 18h.

*squeal* I'm so excited for you, Khaz!!!! A colt! yay!

sorry for the very random blurbs in this post.

ugh! All this talk of babies is making me miss it so much. We used to pick up quarters with blown lungs or other problems precluding them from running and that were not good breeders from owners who ran over here at Los Alamitos. We had a 5 year old gelding named Hiyuchi and 4 yeard old gelding named Mr Peterman who we used to call Dennis because my 17 year old is a geek. He now has a running gag going on about Dennis, the loneliest Nazgul, the one on the pier at buckleberry, calling out:"Sam, Frodo, don't forget to brush, and Pippin' (hand to ear mouthing the last) call me,"

But we'd use the quarters for showing, the kids and I all competed, and Dennis for jumping. Couldn't use Hiyuchi, he was foundered and it made me too sad. But he loved beer and burritos, they were the best horses.
We also had an appaloosa gelding named Cochise and a little buckskin mare, (for the 12 year old) named Morning Star.
Kids got so busy after a certain age and with piano, karate, school government, college and high school classes for the eldest, and all the social stuff, we just never seemed to have time. If I could have stabled them at the house, I'd still have them...*sigh* You're so lucky TG and Khaz. As soon as the oldest goes to college maybe. BTW TG, hearken back, when you don't know how to ride, 12h seems a long way to fall, lol And 18h?? You have clydesdales?
