Location: Texas | So just to preface because it's been a long time...
We bought a mare for my mom last May. The sellers swore that even though she was pastured with a mini donkey stud and they also owned a 3YO colt, that there was no way this mare was bred- that the colt never got out, and the mini was too small. Well, four months into us owning her she started acting cinchy and I looked at her and told my mom, "We've raised a few babies now and she really looks like the two preggo mares we have right now." So we took her to the vet and he said yep, I can feel it and its at least 4 months along. So, about right with his timing, on April 1 she foaled. We didn't know if it would be a mule or a horse, and it ended up being a horse (sigh of relief).
Then it was time to try and get her registered because it was unplanned, and lord knows where the colt is now. Miraculously, we were able to get all the papers signed, paid his new owners to give us a sample of the colt's hair for DNA and 5 Panel (oh and he's a gelding now BTW so he really had no need to do any of it but was nice enough to help us). Long story short we just submitted her registration application!
I think she looks pretty impressive for being a total unplanned oops baby. Honestly, I think she looks pretty nice for a planned baby! She's not the oldest foal we have but she's by far the biggest. Both her sire and dam are under 14.2 and she looks like a monster. I wonder how tall she will end up

In reference to your comment about line breeding, you should name her "Too Much Colonel"

Location: Texas | Yeah we really like her. She's grown on all of us. When she was first born she was scared of us because her mom was way too good at protecting her. So for the first month or so she was hard to handle and touch. But the older she gets, the friendlier she is. She actually follows me around for scratches now :P. We really have to figure out how to fit all these horses because we really want to keep her just to see how she turns out! |
