Contest time again!


First of all, I apologize for having to turn word verification on again; I have been getting comments written in Chinese, even though I state on my comment form that I only allow comments written in English, -it's the only language I speak- and if I can't understand what is written, I won't subject my readers to such rudeness. So if the person who leaves Chinese comments would care to come on and leave a comment in my language, fire away!
Back to business- It's contest time again! Coyote Belle was bred May 9-14 last year, so she is exactly 11 months from the first day she was bred. An average gestation is 343 days which would be April 18. However, last year, on her first foal, Belle went 358 days. This year- who knows? They don't always go the same as the first foal, and some years they come early- I had one mare foal after only 321 days. Confused yet?
So to play, you have to guess foaling date, sex, and color. Which could be interesting, as Coyote Belle carries the cream dilute gene, and Beamer carries the dun gene. Their first foal, Sparkle, is brown.
All the guesses are posted, as I receive them, on the top of my sidebar at the left, so that you can see what others have guessed.
The prize will be your choice of one of these ceramic and steel travel mugs:

Also, my friend Carol at All These Pretty Horses has a double contest going on her mares, with some really good prizes (I want to win the Legends 8 book!) so pop on over there and enter hers too!

hey girl
just LOVE a contest!!!
my guess is April 19th, in the 'wee' hours, a black colt

Belle reminds me of a Poco mare I used to know.

I have to say each time I come, how overwhelmed I am with the beauty of the horse featured in your header.

Now, down to guessing...On the 22nd you will have a dun filly in the PM.

If I guess right, can I have the filly?

I love Gail's comment "If I guess right, can I have the filly?"

I'm going to say April 17, 3:40 AM, because that is Nadia's birthday. And it's going to be a brown filly.

Shirley said...

Sure you can, Gail, for a small nominal fee! ;0)
Thanks for your compliment on Beamer; he thinks he's a pretty handsome guy too, and loves to be told so. I'll pass your compliment on to him!

I'm a little late! But for some reason the 21st jumped out at me. So I'm going with the 21st, early morning, dun filly.
