Photo Taken: 9/09/2012 - The coat has finally shed...he is JET BLACK!!

TOAD HILL'S GHOST BUSTERS is LWO positive and HOMOZYGOUS black.

He is heterozygous for Tobiano. The photos below are when he was about a week old in "baby hair."

Last night (May 16th), I got up before 10 pm to check on horses before going to bed. One on the lawn, almost exactly where Willow had foaled was Katey with a very long legged "tovero" (I think she may have both LWO and tobinao genes, will test for both) foal.

Since we did not have Fancy Pants around (the sire of her first three foals) last year, we decided to breed her to Avalanche, a LWO overo, 33.5 inches. Now Katey is 32" and it did worry me, but I was assured by vets she should be okay, since the mare biologically controls the size of the fetus.

I was very surprised to see such a tall little guy. Can't believe how all those legs fit inside little Katey.

Does this foal have a medicine hat, only one ear is black, the other is white.

Toad Hill's Summer Breeze has her first foal. Summer Breeze was not scheduled to foal for at least another month I thought, but you never know what the mare wanted to do. She was in a pasture with three other bred mares and two fillies. Got up about 5 am to start chores before going to work and there was a small pinto by the feeder with Summer, her filly and two other mares. I quickly escorted her and the foal out of the pen and onto the lawn.

One thing I have noticed, foals born on pasture (or lawn) are more active and alert than barn stall born ones.

Anyway, YEAH Summer!!!, this FILLY is perfectly marked.

Looks almost exactly like mom on one side and conformation looks just like daddy, Rebel.
Filly 1 day old.

More photos to come.

Willows 2012 Foal - Dark Shadows

Toad Hill's Wind in the Willows had her 2012 foal.

Willow is an independent sort of mare, she likes to have her foals on the lawn during the day. Yesterday, Saturday, May 12th, about noon I looked over to the east of the lawn and there was Willow and a dark shadow moving behind her. Immediately I know that she had just dropped her foal.

I have a theory about horses and where they should foal. Keep them in the barn and they get lazy...the foals are not as eager to get up and run off....let them foal outside and within minutes of dropping a foal they are on their feet, ready to flee if need be.

Of course there is little reason to run these days when you are born on the lawn in a fenced area, but this little kid was up moving off with mom, then nursing in less than 10 minutes.

I am tempted to call him Toad Hill's Dark Shadow. More photos to come.
