Freya's foaling thread

:D Well, every one else is doing it so I'm jumping on the band wagon!
My mare Freya is 37 weeks and 5 days pregnant. She is a WBXTB out of show jumping lines and her sire is a pinto (although she decided being coloured is too much work). The sire of the foal is Face Value Two, a black and white pinto ClydeXStationbred.
This is Freya's first foal and also mine however I have a lot of support from my vet and friends who have bred for many years :) I've had Freya for over 4 years and she will be 6 on her due date (29/11/2012)!
She is mainly my pleasure horse and I can't wait to get back into work! :-p
Yesterday my mum saw the foal 'wobble' so that is awesome :lol:
Anyway - PHOTOS!

The baby daddy



And my girl
(My friend riding a non-pregnant Freya)


(Another friend riding a non-pregnant Freya)


At 33 weeks

At 36 weeks (She doesn't look as big here)




Will get some more tomorrow. Sorry for the photo overload! :shock:

Her last service was 25/12/2011 (Christmas day hehe) and she was scanned 18 days. So technically she is due on 29/11/2012 which is also her 6th birthday! However she is a maiden so I'm not holding my breath!
I hope she drops AFTER her due date because I'm on nursing practicum for 9 weeks then I have my state final on the 20/9 soooo I'm hopping she'll wait!

I wasn't sure on the stud's markings. His face markings are rather unique I think haha but in person he is lovely and my friend has a two year old by him who I've watched grow from a foal and that's what sold him to me. He produces very nice geldings :eek:P Not sure about fillies but Freya's dad produces some REALLY lovely girls soooo fingers crossed.
Oh, the stud is hetrozyogus (sp?) and so are the grandsires on both sides. Freya has some bird spotting or lacing on her back which shows a pinto gene apparently so hopefully this foal has got more than a 50% chance of having some bling. Even if it doesn't I'll love it! It's my baby's baby! Can't wait!

Her spots



Her full brother and sister have exactly the same. Her dam has never thrown a colour but all her babies by The Gambler have this lacing :eek:)

Chestnut is NOT dominant. It is recessive. As well as this, if it was dominant, that would mean that this cross would definitely NOT result in a chestnut foal.
