A New Foal - And Other Foals

First, foal 49 has joined us - Kachina and Hoppy have produced what looks to be a buckskin baby.  Seen from a distance, and not seen clearly, so sex is definitely unknown.  Baby spotted this morning, 30 May...

Foal 48 is a filly, the daughter of A Splash of Freckles and Legacy:

And, today's "bonus" is a series of photos of two foals sired by Wild, playing together...  They are both bay pintos. -  The colt (# 9) is a darker base color, out of Summer's Gentle Sea Breeze, and was born on 20 April.  The filly (#13) is lighter in color and has a splash of white on her neck; she is out of Tuleta Star, and was born on 27 April.  -  She's leading in the first photo; he's leading in the second...

Foals 47 and 48 Have Arrived - Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge

Foals numbered 47 and 48 arrived over the holiday weekend in the herds belonging to the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company.  Originally, the two had the others' number, but it was discovered that Gracey's baby was on the ground Sunday afternoon in a set of photos Nicole Menta took of Prince's band.  So, no sex determination as yet, but Gracey produced foal 47 on Sunday, May 26, and A Splash of Freckles produced foal 48 on Memorial Day, May 27 - both in the northern compartment of CNWR.  Photos were taken by, and are the property of, DSC Photography.

Foal # 47 -  a buckskin out  of Gracey, sired by Prince of Tides


Foal # 48 -  a bay pinto out of A Splash of Freckles, sired by Legacy

Forty-One Foals So Far on the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge

The latest foal was spotted about noon today, on 21 May.  Kathleen Cahall, who saw and has taken the only photos so far of Lorna Dune's palomino pinto baby, saw a palomino pinto foal with Zustan, a young buckskin mare in Legacy's herd.  No photos of this foal, number 41, at the moment... 
   Late Sunday afternoon, through a heavy fog, a - possibly - chestnut (?) foal was spotted with Kimball's Rainbow Delight; the sire would be Prince.  This is the photo from that sighting and report:

  Little miss (Judy's Little) Smooch has been at the Carnival Grounds, keeping company with Bailey's Star (a donated mare), since the Spring Round-up in mid-April.  Neither the cowboys, the Pony Committee, not the veterinarians, were happy with Smooch's condition.  Her fur was dull, she was underweight, and she was definitely pregnant.  So she's been getting extra tender loving care, as well as grain, hay and supplements since that time. Early yesterday morning, when the CVFC person arrived to feed her and Star, they found a palomino pinto filly, whose sire is Legacy beside her....  These are the early photos of the little girl, less than 3 hours old:


   Suede and Maverick produced a bay colt yesterday, too.  Suede is a palomino, and Maverick is a bay pinto...  


   Again, Zustan foaled today, but there are currently no photos available... her foal makes 4 palomino pintos sired by Legacy, and 2 sired by Legacy's half-brother, Prince.
    Still no close photos of, and/or color confirmation, and/or sexes of Gingersnap and Prince's foal, Little Miss Sunshine's foal, or Rainbow Delight's foal.  We know Lorna Dune's foal is a palomino pinto, but not the sex of that baby, nor of the new Zustan foal....

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...
