Darcy and Steve Cole finally got close enough to get some good photos of foal number 56, who arrived on Wednesday, 19 June. Equine genetics fooled me (again!) in this foals' coat color - the mare is a solid bay (Two Teague's Taco), and a photo surfaced proving that Ace is the sire. Ace is a minimally marked black overo pinto; so I figured the foal would be a bay pinto. Wrong! A beautiful bright chestnut tobiano is the result - and it's a beautiful little filly!
Foal number 57 was spotted this morning, at a far distance. The dam is May's Grand Slam, and the sire is Ken. May is a bay tobiano pinto; Ken is a minimally marked chestnut overo pinto. The photo was taken looking into the sun, so the colors are not true - but the baby is a pinto, chestnut or bay... (I think it is a bay, myself.) Better photos will be provided when available.
