My little pony mare Stella is on 250 days tomorrow, so I thought she could get her own foaling thread. :)

My mare is 18 years old, and my old competition companion. We competed up to national level in dressage and jumped 4'3" fences in training.

We don't know what breed she is or her sire and dam, but she has everything else going for her, so we decided to breed her to the handsome German Riding pony FS Mr Right.

Stella when she was in training.



Her "Mr Right"....:)

I am having a hard time figuring out names for the baby... I actually want a short name for the foal.

Colt names

Mr Darcy (;-) It's sires name is after all Mr Right...)
Misha (M from Mr, I from Right, S and A from my mares name Stella, and an H to tie it togheter.)

Filly Names

Grädde (lol, the Swedish word for whipped cream.)

But after that? No ideas what so ever...

Stella, I am extatic to see this baby! I am absolutely in LOVE with that stallion! How tall is he?

As for names...I know absolutely zero Swedish so if these make no sense dont be offended!
I think "Lilla" would be cute doesn't that mean little? Cause it looks like it will most likely be a pony right?
or....how about "Krydda" haha doesn't this mean Spice? Haha couldn't help myself :)
I don't think "Mira" is Swedish, but still pretty none the less! It'll be your little miracle!

Lol, I now realized that I should have chosen a different username than my horses name. :-p

He's tiny, he's about 140 cm now and thats probably 13.3 hands?
But he's turning four years this year, and his parents are bigger than he is. He got some thoroughbred and warmblood horses in him, and the rest is Welsh ponies.

I choose him because they called him "the yellow pony Totilas", and because of the fact that he is small. My mare is almost a small horse, and I want the baby to be a pony. :)


People her in Sweden actually give their horses English names most of the time and quite often combine the mothers name with the fathers name.

To me it doesent matter what language the name is in, as long as it is cute and easy to say. I'm lazy that way. :wink:
But if someone has a name that is absolutely amazing/gourgeus/etc. I would like to hear it, perhaps I will change my mind. :wink:

Like the name Nangijala, I love that name.

But yes, Krydda means Spice, and Lilla means Little. :)

Mira is actually really pretty! Thanks.

She's getting really grumpy. And today she somehow destroyed her mane even more than she already has... so I had to cut it for
the first time in a year, half of the mane was loong and quite nice, and the other half of it where short enough for a dressage horse. :-|

Very well, it will grow out again.

New pictures,

263 days,


267 days,


She's giving us a bit of a scare though. Filling up her udder a little... it's a bit early, but we can't do anything. Yes, I have talked to several veterinarians, and my mares vet told me that
it's probably nothing, and that he had maiden mares filling up three months before delivering, and still had healthy babies. But you can't take anything out in advantage, so we're
keeping a very close eye on her, in case there's something wrong. There's nothing we can do with medicine, etc. She had all of her shots and It should not be twins, she's been checked
with an ultrasound several times.

That would be nice, imagine a palomino stallion with lots and lots of white.

But of course, I will be more than enough happy if everything goes well and the baby and my mare will be fine and healthy. :)

ClaPorte432, To get the horse tested, you pull some mane, and send it in?
 
#25 ·
I would if I were you. LoL. :) My mare (a paint) carries both frame and splash. The only splash she expresses is on her face, a big blaze and white under her lip. And your mare has alot more white then my girl! :)

This is the site I went through for my testing. It's only $25. And you'll want to test for the Splashed White.

Horse Tests

I'm not sure if there is a testing center overseas that would be easier for you or not since I'm in the USA?
