It's a colt; no it's not!!

[prizmbluekigers]

Our "oops" foal was born early this morning and he and mom are doing fine. Someone who shall remain nameless misunderstood what I said about some mares not cycling in the coldest months so Fit had one last fling before he was gelded. thank goodness our weather is mild for the next week. Here is the result and his name is Second Riddle - "Two" for short. He look like a little red head but we see black in his tail. He was about 20 minutes old.

Congrats!! Excited to have a baby to see grow up over the next few months while we wait for the ones due in spring!

Too cute! Love those first few steps and the concentration it takes to keep all four legs under them. How nice for Fit to have one last fling! Hmmm, shall we take bets on color?

I love the name! I can't wait to see pics of this cute little guy as he gets bigger

[fantasykiger]

Oh my he is adorable and you got your colt ;D a nice little parting gift before Fit was gelded. Congratulations!

[prizmbluekigers]

Thanks everyone! He is really full of himself today; exploring and giving mom fits as he runs off every few minutes.

Diane, I would not bet against you in a color gurssing contest given your experience with foals, so please give us your prediction if you will. What dolor do you see when you look at Two?
Fit is darker- more pumpkin colored than many dun Kigers but not as dark as Dino and the bi-coloring in his mane is reddish mostly with very little light color in his tail either. For those of you who don't know him, he is my avitar on this board. I've long wondered if he had a red dun in his recent lineage. The sun is suppposed to be out tomorrow so I will get Rick to take pics.

Congrats Bobbe! He's a cutie. He sure looks red dun in the first pic, but not so much in the others. More pics please!!

Can't wait to see more pics of him....He's a cutie.....Congrats!

Each one is a surprise Bobbie. I had a couple that had a definite pink cast to them. They both ended up grulla, of all things. Rio was one of them, he looked red dun for sure except he had brown and black in his mane and tail.

Oh how cute!! I love babies....that's a nice surprise from Fit...!

[prizmbluekigers]

I don't know what color he will be, I think he is red, but his mane and tail do have some black and brown in them. Rick thinks it has to do with the pumpkin color of Fit. I don't care, I don't have a Red Dun yet. Here are several more pics where I tried to show color. His dorsal looks red also.

I am thinking zebra dun since you see black in his mane and tail. Being born late in the season, he has his winter fuzzies already, so that may have something to do with the light coloring. Some duns do have red dorsals, which I think is interesting...

[dmiecznik]

very sweet

I also think zebra Dun. You can see the dark skin under his Big beautiful facewhorl!
