Cute Colt ( or Filly? )

I remember once when we had 3 mares all ready to foal anyday and we got up every hour and checked on them..and we still missed them! lol

Sadly we only got 2/3. One colt died..it was so awful!

The last 2-3 times we bred our mares we have all boys. Last summer we finally had 2 girls! We're really glad because their mothers are pretty old, in fact one of them died a few months back. So we're glad to get a daughter from her.

My reasoning is far more monetarily based...colts sell better than fillies at auction. Especially colts born earlier in the year who are nice big boys by the time the fall sales roll around. Our fillies were both born later in teh "season" and we are keeping them til the fall yearling sales because they were just too small. They are coming around now, but it still will be a hard sell in this market.​

A lot of lines of Saddlebreds have TBs as the foundation sires and tend to look a little "thorougbreddy." These strains also make good dressage and jumping horses. My mare is half-Saddlebred and her ASB line goes back to Gaines Denmark, a TB stallion.
