Four New Chincoteague Foals

The last foal of Surfer Dude and Surf Queen to stay on Assateague was born 15 May 2015, she was a buy back, and because she was already known as Surfer Princess - because of her parents - that is her registered name.  I didn't think the Princess was pregnant this Spring, but I was most certainly wrong! She had a gorgeous palomino pinto baby girl yesterday morning, 1 May. And the filly was sired by Tornado's Legacy - she has been in his herd since she was 18 months old.  I will not purchase this foal, but I have already named her - SpinDrift Heirloom.  SpinDrift for the Surf and Surfer names of her dam and maternal grandparents, and Heirloom for Legacy.  A lot of other people are already calling her Duchess, since her mother is a Princess...

Poco Latte also foaled yesterday.  Color is uncertain, but the baby has a star.  The sire is probably Puzzle, possibly Neptune.  She had a black filly with Puzzle last year on 4 May, but tends to wander between Puzzle and Neptune's herds.  The foal looks like a dark bay to me, but might be black, or a wet buckskin...

Two foals have already been sighted this morning.  CJ Samm'n and Ace's Black Tie Affair have produced a chestnut pinto for our delight...

And Suzy's Sweetheart was spotted way out on the marsh with a white blazed chestnut baby, sired by Surfer's Riptide.  Riptide is still in pony jail due to the stupidity of a tourist - and he is also the full (and older) brother of Surfer Princess, who had her first foal yesterday...

2017 Chincoteague Pony Foals 11 through 20

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 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...
