The Shadow Knows

After 5 days I have three choices:
#1...Toad Hill's the Shadow!
#2...Toad Hill's The Shadow Knows
#3...Toad Hill's Me and My Shadow

Used the idea of a shadow since Rainbow keeps the little colt very close all the time.


Mini Bucks Chasin Rainbows had the filly early morning Wed-May 20, 2020. 

Sire is:
Toad Hill's The One: Neo. 

Mare is: 
Mini Bucks Chasin Rainbows.

Rainbow's colt is now 3 hours old and has gone out in the small field to run around.

Below are 2 photos with a white spot above the eye. 











Since birth about 3 days ago he is lighter colored.
This little stallion is ready to run, and even though he is less than two days old he is out running, Rainbow has a hard time keeping up.



Tickle My Fancy

First foal this May 5, 2020.  
ANNOUNCE name: Toad Hill's Tickle My Fancy




Sire-> Toad Hill's The One: Neo (his sire is Toad Hill's GhostBuster).
Mare-> is Toad Hill's Neytiri. (Neytiri sire is Lucky Four RebelChase RebelHeir).


Neytiri should mature to black and appears pinto homozygous. I will check the filly will for the homozygous pinto gene.

 The next day she was running a lot. 


First meal by Neytiri's filly. She was foaled early 05/17/2020 and her first photo was 5 minutes after she was up and nursing.

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.


Wheels - 7/16/2019
 Wheels below- April 17, 2019

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.

Toad Hill's The One: Neo

8/30/2019 and Neo is looking really nice
This photo was in January 2019. He has been used this summer at the primary stallion, breeding 4 mares.
 


Neo is one of the friendly minis I have ever had. From the day he was foaled, he followed me around. Loves being petted, follows me everywhere. Both parents are homozygous for black and the dam is homozygous for pinto.
Neo is Toad Hill's Neytiri's first foal. This little one started out a silver color but has changed to black and a little brownish color.
Toad Hill's The One: NEO

Photos Taken in 2018...a yearling.
 He is now non-fading black.




The chart below for Neo, colt.
Ancestry....GhostBuster on sire's side carries the LWO+ gene, one Tobiano (pinto) and 2 black (EE).  On the mare's side, there are 3 generations of black, pintos.

Neyitiri sire is Lucky Four RebelChase RebelHeir. GhostBuster may carry a dilution gene since the last 2 foals he sired are not totally black.
