I was wondering the same thing!

Thanks for the pics

It will be interesting to see the foal. Any guesses as to what the predominate coloring might be?

we shave their flanks because as the minis get close they start to shed... and BOY do they shed! it helps to keep the foal from ingesting hair when its searching for the milk bar.... i i will actually be shaving a bit more when she gets closer...

if a foal ingests hair it will cause them to get an impaction in their gut , colic and die.

also they have sooo much hair that if i didnt shave, i wouldnt find their udder! LOL

Probably easier for the foal to "find it" LOL! I've seen Arabian breeders do that which i thought it was kind of silly. At least with minis, less mess!

I am guessing the foal would be either a bay pinto or dark palomino/buckskin pinto.

not sure this is the first breeding with this pair.. lacey has had 2 bay colts, and a silver bay pinto colt last year. cash has had one colt, who was born black, but is going grey.

my guess, is Bay.

hopfully with some white . and while all i want is a healthy mom and foal.. i wouldnt mind if she gave me a filly! (she has had 3 colts to date!)​

Blame it on the stallion for giving her colts, the stallion's sperms determines the sex of the foal...learned that in vet class with a Colorado vet teacher who teaches in Colorado college and A&M Texas University....darn it, I can not remember the gentleman's name but he was getting on years. Probably passed away now.

Just like humans. When DH was a teeny tad disappointed that we were having a 4th son instead of a 2nd daughter I reminded him that HE determined that, heeheehee. (Not that he had any control over it... and we LOVE our sweet baby boy.
