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...

Surfer's Riptide Returned to Assateague - Two of His Mares Foal

Riptide was removed for Pony Jail at the Carnival Grounds on Chincoteague yesterday morning and placed inside the corral on Assateague's southern end.  By late afternoon, all of his mares had converged to the corral, so the men from the CVFC Pony Committee opened the gates, and let the ladies  rejoin their man.  (Summer was the only mare who didn't appear, and it's possible that the two lead mares have driven her away during Riptide's absence.)  Early morning visitors to the corral today found a brand new foal with Got Milk - a handsome bay colt with four socks, a large blaze (like Riptide's) and a blue eye on the right.  Not long after, Loveland's Secret Feather gave birth to a filly - a bay pinto with two blue eyes.  She is minimally marked with color - her right side is white and the outer side of her right ear is brown; she has a black forelock and a teeny strip of black mane between her ears, and a brown left ear, and a tiny brown spot near her left flank.  There is a break in the color between her ears, so she is not a Medicine Hat....
