Three New Foals on 30 April

The Chincoteague ponies produced three new foals for our delight today -  the middle foal is the only one seen up-close; and the other two were at a great distance.  Baybe, who looked like she would burst during Spring Round-Up, had a pinto foal at her side early this morning.  Baybe is a black pinto, and the foal's sire is Tornado's Prince of Tides, a palomino pinto.  From the distance the two photos I've seen were taken, I'd guess that the baby is a chestnut pinto; when seen at a closer range, the pinto color may need to be changed, but the foal is definitely a pinto.
   Then Doc Amrien was spied with a bay pinto, who was sired by Hoppy (Effie's Papa Bear).  Captain Dan was able to get some very nice photos of that foal.
    Later, when Darcy and Steve Cole were hiking back, another foal was spotted in Prince of Tide's herd, this one with dam Checkers (also known as Giraffe). Foal 18 appears to be a solid chestnut, at the moment...
    The first and last photos were taken by, and are the property of, DSC Photography.  The photos of Doc Amrien's foal belong to Captain Dan's Around the Island Tours...

2017 Foals of Chincoteague Ponies 1 - 10

These are photos from different sources and people, some are copyrighted (mainly by Darcy and Steve Cole, owners of DSC Photography of Greenbackville, Virginia), some are not.  Copyrighted photos are always marked so.
   The names in quotation marks after the sex id are my personal names for the foals - of course, whoever actually purchases the babies will give them their registered names - but this helps me keep them straight....

   The photos are also NOT arranged in chronologically - I just try to choose shots that give a good view of markings on each side, as well as a facial shot...   Sometimes a butt shot will be included because of bulls-eyes or tail markings - a half-color tail, or a tipped tail, etc...
