Pedigree Query

Has eny one ever had an ugly foal?/

ROTFL - I am sure they are some ugly ones out there, I just haven't seen any yet. I have however seen some very not-pretty weanling/yearlings when they go through the whole growing out stage

Oh, yes, Griff! Spanish Guitar's first foal was a tiny little wrinkled up baby with a huge irregular stripe. The facial markings made her look like Jimmy Durante, or maybe the "Kilroy was here" nose.

She quickly grew into a tomboy and the biggest in the pasture, nice to look at. Her name is Music Fest, and she had a recent workout at Louisiana Downs for her owner. I'll see if I can find her original photo. The office manager called the colt that year "the pretty boy", and the filly "the ugly baby". She definitely was a sorry looking foal!

I looked at my daughter, and asked "Is he supposed to look like that?"
He was an hour old and still kinda wrinkly and crooked all over.

My then 8-year-old sister was reputed to have said (when I arrived from the hospital as a newborn)
"That ugly wrinkled purple thing is MY BABY SISTER?"
I think I turned out OK...plus I have 3 inches and 40 pounds on her now. heh heh heh.

Yes. I never thought I'd see one, but the farm where I worked had one come out looking like...well, a moose. So 'Moose' became her barn name.

High Limit and his half sister were very ugly as foals. Cryptoclearance, Flying Spur and Cat Thief foals aren't very good looking either.

*falls over laughing*

Oh, that was SO wrong.

Teri B in Oregon had a foal come out with a REALLY long, shaggy coat. His barn name was Fozzy Bear, like the muppet!

We had one at the farm this year as well - a moose that is. I think he is so ugly he is cute Besides with his nose being so large it can't hurt in the win photos

LOL "Roman noses win races!"

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder lol moose:)
