Tiril

This morning a black pearl was born - meet little Tiril!

She is the fourth filly this spring and I`m very happy because it is Bess` first daughter here at our place :)

She`s Teddy and Victors sister and I am excited about how this filly will develop.

She has a blaze and two white socks on her hind feet just like mummy.

Icke is her father.

Bess is so proud of her little girl - she is constantly watching over her baby :)

Mummy Bess and her little black beauty! :)

Merlin

Meet our newest addition to our herd - little Merlin!

He was born yesterday morning and Emily is his proud mummy and Ickie is his daddy.

He is the sweetest black colt with 4 white socks, blaze and a white hip.

I guess he will grow up to be a big and heavy boy someday :)

Too cute!!!

Had to add a photo of his white spot - cool......or what?! :)

Ronja 8 days old

Just a few pics of Ronja taken last Sunday - she is 8 days old in these pictures.

Her DNA results came back last night and it seems we have another little pearl in our herd - she has inherited the pearl gene from her daddy Camella Boy Warrior! :)

I`ll attach her coat colour results here....

Red-Factor Result:
e/e - Only the red factor detected. Basic color is sorrel or chestnut in the absence of other modifying genes.

Agouti Result:
A/a - Black pigment distributed in points pattern. Basic color is bay or brown 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.

Victor meeting the ladies...

Last Sunday Victor had his first meeting with some of his girlfriends for the summer.

Irina, Lilo and Rose are the first lucky girls to get a date with this casanova.

Victor him self is a young gentle man and takes good care of his ladies....

And in the pics below, you can see his first meeting with Rose and her daugther Jade (she is such a doll this filly - the cutest ever :)

We are crossing our fingers for some special silver babies next summer ;)

Lilo and Irina are very curious about the newcomers....

Take a look at this little cutie pie -

she reminds me of a childrens rocking horse :)

Victor strutting his stuff - trying to impress the girls...

Irina has grown into a nice young filly.

Rianna

Rianna is growing too. 9 days old in these photos. DNA on her color is on it's way to the USA. My guess is bay and pearl. Anyhow - she will stay here at the farm, as a future breeding mare.

Jade

Jade is 10 days old aleready!! We have beautyfull spring wether today - so I just had to snap som fresh photos of her. And I have to tell - I've been really good. She is already arranged sold - and will go to her new family when she is old enough. (And It's a good thing, because I've alredy started to think that she is a keeper kind of horse.. and my little tutch of common sense tells me I cant keep them all!)

Ronja

Finally!!!!

Nancy had her first filly foal!

Ever since we got here in 2004, she has only given us colt foals - but last night she gave birth to a big and strong filly!!! :)

And the filly - she is just a little beauty - chestnut and white - and Camella Boy (Corny) being her father - I`m a little unsure if she might carry the pearl gene as well...like Mona I have to do an DNA test ;)

And here are the first pictures of little Ronja - 14 hours old in these photos.

It took a few minutes before she figured out how to work her feet...trying them out for the first time.

Check out her cute tail - red and white...

Rianna

Last night Eliza had her foal. Another filly!!!

She is a lot larger than Jade - Eliza had a hard time getting her out. I had to help her pulling the foals legs. Mum and baby is happy and ok now.

I'm a bit confused about her color. Sired by Corny I think she migth be a buckskin. I'll have to do a DNA test.

This little girl is the first one born in Norway with known - proved pedegree all back to her great gran mother Netta!! Netta - Nelly - Eliza and Rianna
