Golden Viking 3 months old

Here he is again - the little charmer :)

Just had to snap a few shots of him now that he is almost out of his foal coat.

He has shed in high speed, and out popped a beautiful silver dapple colt!

He is so cute and adorable, and really friendly.

He is not a little baby anymore :)
I think he will grow up to be a really handsome boy someday! :)

He is for sale and searching for a loving and friendly future home ;)

Here together with "aunty" Irina 2 years old.

Hope you`ve enjoyed!~

Merlin

We picked up Merlin and his mum last weekend after spending their summer at Monas place.

And - OMG - this boy has gotten huge!!!

Nearly 4 months in these pics and already a big, beautiful and heavy boy.

I think he must be our biggest foal this year....

A little dirty after rolling around in the mud, but I guess you can deal with it ;)

Some pics together with mummy to show you how he has grown.

And mum Emily isn`t excatelly the tiniest mare either..... ;)

Irina and Lilo

Did a small photoshoot of my 2 years old fillies yesterday.

They have developed so much this summer - almost grown up gypsy cob ladies now!

Lilo - a small and compact girl with the best temper ever!

She loves people and loves to cuddle...

It seemd like she enjoyed being photographed too :)

Strike a pose!

Irina - my other filly.

She is a bit bigger young mare - I guess she will be the traditional size.

She is so calm and relaxed, dosen`t let anything bother her.

Not so experienced in front of the camera as Lilo, but she did her best hihihi.....

A white teddybear with a really yellow tail - I guess I will have to scrub it when she is home from the field....*sigh*

This girl has got feather!

Did I mention I am a freak for feathers!??! ;)

Best friends!

More foals

Joleen - 3 months old. I believe this girl is looking more,and more like her yearling sister. And that's a good thing, her sister Primrose is stunning.

Well, she is still for sale... but I have to admit I wont be sad if i have to keep her myselfe;)
The cutest little head

And then I guess its the first time I studied her trotting - wow - this girl know the knee action!!!

Rianna - Joleens best friens. One of my keepers this year. My first foal by Corny, and DNA tested pearl. She is one of those it's impossible to get a good picture of. 4 monts old

Another little pearl!

Just some few, quick words to tell you that we have another "pearl - girl" in our herd!

Nikita - Katinka and Camella Boys baby- has tested to carry the rare pearl gene :)

I`ll attach her test- results here:

Red-Factor Result:
E/e - Both black and red factors detected. Either E or e transmitted to offspring. Basic color is black, bay or brown in the absence of other modifying genes.

Agouti Result:
a/a - Only recessive allele detected. Black pigment distributed uniformly. Basic color is black in the absence of other modifying genes.

Cream Result:
N/N - No evidence for the Cream dilution altered sequence detected. Basic color is sorrel or chestnut, bay or black in the absence of other modifying genes.

Pearl Result:
N/Prl - One copy of the altered sequence detected. If Cream dilution is also present, a pseudo-double Cream dilute phenotype will result.

This little rare beauty will be for sale at weaning ;)

She is such a sweetheart - just like a gypsy cob should be!

Here together with our kids....
