Photos of Foal 56, And One of Foal 57 - Chincoteague Ponies

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.

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...
