Congrats!
If I could talk hubby into it, had funds and a way to transport; I think Kechi's filly would have to find her way to MT. [Although, mine have to be AMHR registered, so I don't know if that is the case or not.] I'm wanting a buckskin filly/mare. [I have one mare that can produce it for me, if she doesn't throw her silver and he gives his bay, so buckskin comes this time instead of smokey silver black.]
Unfortunately, I don't think she will stay small enough to hardship at 3 yrs of age. Her dam is petite, but she did FINALLY hit 40" and pretty sure that "Toro" is larger(41" + ?). Of course, she might be smaller, we won't know until later. But none of the ponies in her up close pedigree are mini sized or registered as minis.
Any time someone wants to work something out, I'm sure we could. I do travel to MT now and again - though it has been awhile.
Hoping I don't have to make the trip anytime soon, actually, for the "wrong reasons", but mom isn't doing so well since her twin sister passed in April... She's back in MT, my sister is staying with her, but I understand that she's in a funk. I can certainly feel for that - as I was too when I returned to NC after my Aunt's funeral.
Kechi was tiny for a very long time. She still "looks tiny" - but she now wears the same size halter that most of the rest of our ponies do and the little headstall that I braided just for her when we started driving her - doesn't even come close to fitting her now. She's got a longer head that is narrow while the other ponies have slightly shorter heads that are wider at the eye/jowl than hers. Still a pretty little girl, though. IF she appears to be OK, we may try breeding her back to one of our other two boys, but I might wait... Haven't decided yet - since I feel she's not in shape (she lost a lot of weight in the 3 weeks that I was gone and in a funk myself and ponies weren't always fed... - long story, nuff said I suppose... )
Kechi will always produce either a buckskin, a palomino or a smokey black foal. And both of our two current stallions (Wizard and Echo) are homozygous for Tobiano - so the foal would be a pinto.
