Yup it's guessing time again!
The mares are nicely bagged up, so it's time to start up the foaling contest.
Belle was bred to Beamer on May 19 last year, and with her history of averaging around 350 days she should foal anywhere from May 1st (347 days, that was how long it took Nitro to hit the ground) to May 16 (362 days, that was Eli).
Shayla sent this photo today; she is carrying low again
You know the rules: Put your guess in for date, time, colour and gender, and I will start a list on the sidebar to the right so you can review other people's guesses.
Belle is homozygous black and carries the cream dilute gene so the colour choices for Belle's foal are:
|
25.00% -
|
Black |

25.00% -

Smoky Black |

Buckskin |
Next is Jayne, she was bred on June 6th to Beamer last year. I don't know her foaling history other than this is her 7th foal. She started bagging up at the beginning of April and just started getting soft in the tailhead area, but with April 22 as the 320th day (that's the minimum gestation for a viable foal) I have a feeling she won't make it to her guesstimated foaling date of May 15; she may go earlier than that.
Where she goes, he goes!
The colour choices for Jayne are:
50.00% -
|
Red (Chestnut/Sorrel) |

25.00% -
|
Black |

25.00% -

I would like one just like you, Jayne!

How that photo shows the love between Beamer and Jayne! My two were bickering today with stamping, nipping, and kicking out, as they fought over a pile of rose branches. They nuzzled each other between acting out, it's a complicated relationship!
Far Side- can you add in time, in case someone else wants the same date then I go by closest time.
I think Belle will go on Mother's Day, May 9
Smoky black filly at 4:47am
Jayne will have a Cinco de Mayo colt, May 5
Chestnut (I'd love flax but unless Beamer has a copy too, that won't happen) 5:06am
I am going with a pair of Star Wars Day babies.
Both on May the Fourth!
