Rocklone 2017 - Goldie

[Rocklone]

Mare - Lewingales Goldilocks - Cream Dun (Dunalino)



Stallion - Birchwood UK Buckaroo Banner -  Buckskin

[Rocklone]

Goldie was washed out on 9th/10th/11th April. Covered 12th - 17th last cover very uninthusiastic. Covered again 25th April very happy stallion lol. Goldie still squatting and a small yellowish fluid, letting Banner mount and she would stand to cover but he is not interested at all, in fact he mounted and his lil banner didn't even distend then he went to eat. So last cover is 25th April.

AWESOME, and now the countdown begins!!!  She is just beautiful!!

[Rocklone]

Im just worried, as always, about her weight. She is SO hard to keep any weight off. Realistically i should have her on a bare lot from march but its not practical all the time. Charm is very large too, but i can't justify dieting a pregnant mare lol and its not as if i am even letting them go wild, they get NO food but grass and hay. Nightmare. Banner is lovely, though. My gelding is still fat too. I give up i want thoroughbreds back lol

Shes such a lovely mare , I have my fingers crossed that she has taken for you. The combination of both her and Banner is very exciting

[Renée]

She is lovely, I too hope she took. My girls were always on the chubby side, that is what the grass does.

Beautiful Lady!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you, it should be a fab foal with two such beautiful/handsome parents.

i'm looking forward to seeing the result from the cross. 

Countdown....

Hey Diane - we need some type of countdown clock Icon...  Or something?

[dcwolcott]

I'll ask Marty to upload some more icons for us!  He's fabulous!!

COOL!!  Think he can find the horse plunger one - pulling the foal out?  That is SOOOOO cool (well, i think it's appropriate).  We had it on the American Shetland Pony Forum - years ago, before the Forum "died out"...  Miss that one, but there were times that people were just flat out argumentative and then a lot of folk went to FB and it disappeared.  I had a copy of all the icons on our website and then lost my website thru a weird "SNAFU".  Still don't have all the info from our website (working on that).

Rocklone - I still like that mare!  She's not too round, so I wouldn't worry about it.  Exercise (driving) during the pregnancy can help her to get fit/strong - even if she's a bit "fluffy"...

Marty said if you want any particular one, you can send it to him and he'll upload it for us. Find it, right click on it and save it, then send it to him and he'll load it. And we'll find some more, as there are so many available!

Ok first time Goldie seen banner since 25th and she is wetting herself so they're out together. I think this is her first proper season rather than transition ones. Can't say what day it is cause I was away until Friday and only able to check her with him today.

They will be out every day until she rejects him now so fingers crossed!

(Only issue is she's now quite fat cause she was out when I was on holiday)

[dcwolcott]

Can't wait to hear things were successful!!  Crossed fingers here!

[Holly]

Fingers crossed she settles!
