Finally!

Postby Denise » Mon May 01, 2006 5:51 am

At 4:55PM yesterday, 3 weeks past her due date, our mare foaled a lovely grey filly (on my hubby's birthday!) Sire is Syncline.
Filly is a full sib to a yearling colt, and half to a 3yo. gelding and 2yo. filly.
Whew!

You can already tell the foal is grey?! That's mighty early for the greying genes to manifest themselves.

Grey baby

According to the foaling guys, she has a huge white blaze and telltale eyes and muzzle already. Mom is white, with flea bitten chestnut dots. We'll see her tomorrow.

But I have no idea how to post photos on this site.
She's really cute! Telltale grey hairs around the eyes and muzzle, and a big old blaze.

Henthorn......I could tell my filly is a grey right off the bat as well. She already had quite a few grey hairs in her along her back and at her butt. She was born chestnut......just wonder how quickly she is going to grey out completely. Took my last filly 6 months (same sire and dam) so this should be interesting......
