Spotted mustang filly :)

[johara]

I babysat my mom's three horses for the whole of 2006. They are all mustangs, but very different from each other.
Spirit is a light bay blanket/snowcap. His sire is a greyed out snowcap (chesnut? light bay? all his foals were spotted so either good luck or homogenous), his dam a bay with a small hip blanket.

dam - tinypic.com/403fssm.jpg (kinda small horse size, her dam is bay appy, sire is unknown mustang)
sire - tinypic.com/4c9lugo.jpg (huge, very tall! Caught wild, but from Appies turned loose)
The one sister of Spirits I saw was a bay going full grey varnish, lots of spots of all colors lol.

Beauty is a biiiig black mare. She could pass for some kind of Shire / Friesian cross. She's very sweet, loves to have her butt scratched. She's an excellant trail horse, doesnt spook at anything, unlike my Arabs.

Snert is the 3rd mustang, he is a super smart little blonde chestnut pony. Here is a pic of him with other horses - tinypic.com/450rty9.jpg (he's the one on the far right)

Last march Beauty became pregnant by Spirit, and she had her foal at the end of this January. I havnt been in contact much with my mom this last month, but I have gotten a couple pics that I thought I'd share. Shes 4 weeks old in these two pics, I just love how her spots hair stand straight up!

Soooo... what color do you think she'll grow up to be?

Bay, definitely Bay. Blanket too by the looks of her of course she could varnish out with age! You'll have to keep us as updated as you can.

Aww, so many pretty horseys ;D

I'm hopeless with colors, so i wont comment on the foal, but awww so pretty ;D

Hehe, I didn't know that about it being a type of soup, I'll hafta pass that on! If I remember right, both Beauty and Snert had their names when my mom picked them up. *giggle* I'm really really hoping the filly doesnt grey out! And that she gets her movement from her sire, he has the most awesome floating canter, its just beautiful to watch him playing.

Aww they are all gorgeous! I reckon the foal will be mealy bay or seal brown?

Aww that baby is soo cute!
He looks just like a horse I just rode at a college riding clinic, her name was confetti because she had the same little blanket your baby has

The filly is so cute!!

I rode a mustang at the stable I used to ride at. Her name was Cheyenne.

what cutie-pies, all of 'em! that baby is just *swoon* give them big hugs and extra treats from us!

[johara]

ty all I wish I could give her your treats, she's a few states away right now, but I'll be visiting her this summer. We havn't decided on a name yet, I gave my mom a list of names to see if baby girl responded to any in particular. I can't find that list, or I'd write them here.
