Belle's baby bump

I have been waiting and carefully observing Belle lately so that I can officially call her pregnant- and this morning my vigilance was rewarded!

Yippee! Two confirmed foals on their way! This one will be born sometime during the summer. Belle was AI'd to a dun stallion in early July, but an ultrasound couldn't find a pregnancy so she was then pasture bred to a son of CD Olena - here is his pedigree:

Nobody saw him breeding her due to the large pasture his mares are in, so I am not ruling out that she did actually catch to the dun stallion- we will know when the foal is born, as the dun is homozygous for dun, and the other stallion is a sorrel. I can't wait for this foal!

Cool!! The sorrel stud has some nice bloodlines. Belle's baby is looking pretty active. How exciting!!

She looks to be far enough along to me to be bred to the dun!!! Fingers crossed for stripes!!!
