Toad Hill's Wheels Up


My son stopped by from his trip and flew his (legal) drone. Wheels were in the pasture so he tried to fly over and get some photos. Of course, Wheels was not posing for photos, but we got one out of the video. Wheels is now about 16 months old.

My colt was foaled on May 29th. He is most likely homozygous tobiano (TT) and a good chance he is also homozygous black (EE). His dam is Toad Hill's Wind in the Willow, 16 years old. I had not bred her for the previous two years, but last year I decided to breed her again.



If you look closely at the white areas you may notice that there are "bear paws," a good idea that he is TT. Also since his sire was EE and his dam cares at least one E there is a good chance Wheels may also be EE. Will check soon.


Why Wheels UP? Hint: The idea of this name is related to 2 topics: 1st the Belmont and 2nd a family name.
