All about those foals

 Another visit to Shayla, another photo drop for you guys! We started with the two yearlings she has for sale, Zipper (paint horse) and Fire (Jayne son).

EDITED: Fire just sold, he has a future as a barrel horse for a young lady!


Zipper is very tall and will likely end up around that 15.3 to 16 hh mark. He is laid back and friendly!


They are both going to be tall boys, I figure Fire will end up around 15. 2 to 15. 3.


He's in that gangly yearling growth spurt, he likely won't come into himself until he's about 3 or 4 years old. 


His pedigree is a cross between run and cow, so he should be a very versatile horse. 


Moving on to Jayne's foal from this year, whose barn name is Shiner. 

Yes he does have an owwy on his hip, it's healing. 



This colt is very quick on his feet- and with his feet, as I could see when he was kicking at the horse flies that were driving them nuts. 


This next filly is the one Shayla named Gemma, who is sold and has been renamed Trudy. 

She's sweet!

Last but not least of the foals was Johnny- he sure has filled out since the last time I was there!

 
We are still not sure if he is dun or sorrel. And likely won't know until he sheds out. 

Dun stripe or counter shading?


Either way, he is a handsome dude! Another one that is bred to be versatile, with bloodlines of great cow horses, reiners and ranch horses he should be able to do it all. 


All those foals sure do have a nice place to grow up in. This is Rex and his band of mares which includes 4 outside mares as well as some of Shayla's. She is still waiting for 2 more Rex babies. 

Next post will be a Theo post! And maybe some kittens. 😁

Nice looking foals:) I saw a reel on facebook about flies on horses...the gal used coconut oil every day for a week then just once a week...on legs, ears and under the belly and rump. Supposed to control flies:) Not sure if it works or not.
