So much for the theory.....

Postby Evenheaven » Mon Mar 17, 2008 11:29 am

Well, the mare was 359 days and it was a filly. Doesn't the old saying go if they are late, it's a colt? At least that's what I've always been told. This filly is 137 pounds and all bay except for a blaze. She's a full sister to Perfectlymemorable (2006 white filly). I guess my luck ran out with white horses... I got all my color the last 2 years. She's a cuie though. Now, 5 more to go.

"Neala" is a Chet DT x Perfectlyrequested model who is like the red headed step sister to Perfectlymemorable. I think we're going to go for the name of Perfectly Elusive since we are missing the "bling."

Congratulations on your new filly--even if you didn't get any bling. :D

Ok.... the lighting is extremely poor in our barn, but I did my best to get some pictures of her.... Yes, she is every bit of 137 pounds... she's HUGE!

Verrrrry nice filly. Congratulations! I'm so jealous of everybody's babies....I only have one coming this year, and she's a late one, not due til September. After that, it's next January. So, in the meantime, I get to drool over everybody else's babies!

Compared to her full sister, she's missing some bling... or better yet, she has some color :)

big and late

Postby barnchick » Wed Mar 19, 2008 6:15 pm

Had a 360 day colt on the 18th. I was hoping the advance colt cert. was wrong. 124lbs and I can't figure out how to download the pictures, sorry. Picture a big bay meateater. I've always heard that colts were late, fillies early. I had another colt on St. Patricks day, a week early 102lbs, four whites and a spade on his face. My next mare is waxed and restless, and due for the 29th.....ruh roh. Southern Ontario was in such a winter hell, I think the mares are just going to drop'em in the warmth of a single degree.
