I can't believe it's breeding season again already.
Post yer babies in here. Our first is due soon, then we'll have a foal downpour later in the season.
We tried to save a foal a few weeks ago, but it was born prematurely and died :( The first 'live' foal we have due is out of Stellar Kamwood - truly the nastiest horse we've ever had. That's gonna be fun! Hope the foal takes after the sire personality wise
I've seen a couple of ads chasing surrogate mums already this season too.
Follow The Stars x Elite Angel colt from Pat
Cute as a button - it will be great if FTS can become a super sire
3 days old
oh he's adorable :) Great colour too, and I love white socks
I love foals.
We had one born over night - my birthday :o Hope he's a goodun. Waiting on pics
Happy Birthday for today/yesterday? Katie
Hope to see plenty of photos on here shortly. This is the earliest foal I have ever owned. Came as a total surprise. Photo taken by Mick Holtham at Allwood stud, does a great job does Mick.
Be interesting to see how FTS goes against For a Reason in NSW. FAR started stud duties a bit earlier so has the jump . FAR has a pretty impressive racing record and a fast time under his belt as well. Art major might have a few to keep the line going hopefully
Attachment 769Thanks Kev!!! :)
Here's our baby just a couple hours old. It's actually an RnR Heaven
Nice...the RnR Heavens are going quite well now
Had a foal last week. All went good to start with and then went bad. His Mum decided not to keen on being a Mum. Despite all the efforts of Leigh & Alison Miles (3 nights and days feeding him to keep him alive) things got no better. He got a foster Mum now and the change in him has been unbelievable. All coz of their efforts to keep him alive. And this maybe is where we differ from our thoroughbred counterparts.... we tend to do it all ourselves. They spent 4 days trying to keep a horse alive that may never see a racetrack. Am sure there are many out there that do the same... makes you wonder when you see things like "Trainer fined.. No assessment card". Anyway....
Go Slinky!!!
A great effort by all concerned.
That's a great story Paul. They're like our own babies, you can't watch them die
Our first ever Trotting foal. Looks like the cutest thing on the planet
Majestic Son - Tarn nz

Two more! This one's out of Blue Sensation which makes the foal a close relation to our boy Three Bears. I thiiiiink it's an Art Major. Small body but legs for days. Attachment 774Attachment 775
This one I'm guessing is an RnR Heaven - Diamonds Above. The family isn't overly generous with giving me details so I'm going by the mare' s head on who she is. Can't believe the amount of white in our foals this year. Must be through RnR because Holly has hardly any white going back 3 generations mare side
Edit: I was wrong. the mare is Call me sweetheart.
A Bit down in the back fetlocks but it'll straighten up. Mare absolutely loves him/her.Attachment 776Attachment 777Attachment 778
How's Slinky going Paul? Will you get his mum in foal again?
He going great now thank you Katie. Congrats on your babies.
Go see him yesterday and him and his other little mate very funny to watch. Both wanting to play but their mums not real sure about it at moment. Mums will get sick of worrying soon i reckon.
Nah not breeding with her again. Too much worry. Shame coz she got nice breeding. Can do embryo transfer but gets a bit costly. Although after Slinky win the 2020 Derby might reconsider it!! :) :) :)
Is it her first Foal? It's such a strange thing how a foster mum can bond so quickly with a foal when the foals own mother wont. Maybe there was juat something about the birth that made her not like him.
I love the name Slinky oh my gosh
Thanks to Lauriston for sending this beautiful pic of Our Little General's full sis
Foal follow ups. Tarn's foal a few weeks old
Attachment 782
Here's 'Tim' again a few weeks later. Much stronger now - quite a nice looking boy. RNR Heaven - Lil Miss Hilarious
Attachment 785
Even this little one has grown. RNR Heaven - Call Me Sweetheart
Attachment 786
This kid's grown out a bit. Art Major - Blue Sensation. Hopefully s/he doesn't break a leg like so many in this family do. It's expensive to treat and hard on the horses :(
Actually I dont even know if this is the same foal but let's go with that anyway.
Attachment 787
One last one. Not sure of the breeding of this one. We have 5 all up so far, but a few/couple more due in Nov/Dec.
Attachment 788
Great stuff Katie
Somebeachsomewhere x The Perfect Mona colt born late yesterday morning (Euro).
Hope he as brave and fast as his brothers!
My name suggestion :D
He looks Good!!
Fantastic looking foals..
Attachment 791
Foal number 7. No photos of foal 6 yet. This one is RNR Heaven - Stellar Kamwood colt. So much white in our foals this year! Dad used to have a superstition that 3 white feet was bad luck, and I'm sure that carried through to blazes too. HAHA DAD, GONNA HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR BELIEFS THIS YEAR
She's a very nasty mare to people but absolutely loves her new little baby.
Attachment 792
Actually, yes! Here's #6 a few hours old. RNR Heaven - Diamonds Above. Similar colour to the one above which is interesting - same sire.
That is some blaze Katie, dad won't mind if they run like their sire
Attachment 794
This is the kind of sight we're used to seeing with Stellar, foal #7's mum ;)
Attachment 795
Second last foal. RnR Dance - Barbara Doo. So much white this year, it's crazy
