Okay so I'm being a complete horse nerd here, but my excitement is overwhelming! I have a foal that is due in early October (possibly even next month!) and I thought it would be fun to hear your predictions on color and sex of the foal. Here are the sire & dam's information:
Sire
Zaire SLG
BLACK Zaire Slg Arabian
*Has no other foals (this will be his first)
Dam
Ma Hijo Velvet
CHESTNUT Ma Hijo Velvet Arabian
*Has 3 previous foals (1 black by black stallion, 1 chestnut by black stallion, and one bay by grey stallion)
I would also love to know what you Arabian breeders/owners think about the pedigrees. I know basic bloodlines when it comes to Arabian breeding but I'd love to learn more if possible
Don't forget to leave your guesses!!
Color: black, bay, or chestnut?
Sex: filly or colt?
Thank you everyone...Today was a busy day and I'm sorry for posting so late!
Baby is doing great, independent and spirited! With much thought, my family and I have decided to name our new girl Velencia (Vel-en-see-ah) which was taken from the word Valencia which means strong, healthy, and brave. We wanted her to have a unique name that also took on some qualities of her Mamma's name since that is Polish breeding tradition.
So here are a couple more pictures of our little Velencia later this afternoon...looking strong & healthy as ever!
Oh my goodness... She is just the most adorable thing ever. I was hoping for a boy, but she is a doll. Many congratulations! I can't wait for more pics <3
Thank you guys! This week has been so hectic and stressful...I'm not sure if all of you know, but the filly is in KY and I am in VT, so I haven't even been able to see her in person yet! Breaks my heart because I want to hold her for days. My uncle (who owns both sire & dam) had made an agreement with me after I asked him to attempt the breeding last summer, but now I think he is having second thoughts now that she is here I talked to him this morning about it and he is still agreeing to let me take her, so I'm sending support $$ out for him this morning. I will fight till' the end of the earth for her! For those of you who have, or are expecting foals, I am extremely jealous that you get to be with them. I am just dying to see her and bring her home. As for pictures...I will post EVERY single one on here for you guys when I receive them. I will try to keep my family affair out of it, but I'll keep you all updated on our journey.
