Lovely foals Lisa and Dean! That American Ingot one Lisa is a beauty! And Dean they are just so adorable when they first stand up, wobbly little things! The Sportswriter looks beautiful too, I love the dark horses!

thanks guys...super happy with the Ingot filly. Shes out of a mare we purchased from the royal star dispersal, done alright since with 3 of her progeny winning. Hopefully can get a few good ones out her too.

Tip.....
If in daylight lift tail and look see.
If at night with torch same procedure
f at night no torch..Lift tail... 0 or 1 finger in = colt. 2 or more fingers in = filly..
I was told this when on my 3 foaling season at about number 600 odd I filled in a foaling sheet wrong and I get reminded of it often.
I guess maybee after doing it 600 odd times I shudn't have left myself open to it..

Hehehe very (shamefully) must say the she is a he!! Lesson learnt don't rely on opinions given by flashlight at 11pm at night. Just got a phone call then that the little "filly" is actually a colt. I know I should be happy, but was really after that filly incase anything happened to the mare. Very dejected at the moment. It's a beautiful foal neverthless and I'll have photos tomorrow. Don't know what's worse, the fact that it isn't a filly or feeling like a goose announcing that it is! :'(

Haha thanks for the tip - I've always left the sex determination to everyone else and I think I just keep it that way and perhaps just wait 2-3 days afterwards before making a big announcement! Hehehe I must admit the whole under the tail thing isn't that black and white, well not 5 minutes after the little thing is born (and I'm sure you can understand me not wanting to do any poking LOL!!!!)
