HPR Foals 2021

[elizabeth.conder]

Well, the spring did not quite go as I planned. With grad school, I have been very busy. Only expecting 1 foal in 2021. A new mare to me but I am very excited about her foal. She is 168 days along, which puts day 300 on April 12th. Still a long time to go, but figured I might as well start this thread. The sire is my stallion, RHA Redis Loaded Dice. He is a silver bay tobiano. The dam is Tibbs Tango Rhythem. She is a chestnut shetland blend, a daughter of Rhapsody's Latin Tango. He is 32 inches and she is 34. I hope the foal stays small haha. I will be streaming again once we get closer. I am hoping for a silver black tobiano...filly but I think that is the lowest color probability. Regardless it will likely stay. This will be Rhythem's second foal. I would add pictures for some reason it never works for me...

CONGRATULATIONS!!  If you want, send me the pictures to my email:  dcwolcott@tnni.net and I'll be happy to upload them for you.

I might do that. For some reason, I have to resize and reformat each one. BUt I will try once more. I'll include pictures of when they were in show shape. Far from that now lol. Rhythem was actually the 2015 World Grand Champion Jr mare, but now she is just a pasture puff haha.

Dice first and then Rhythem

Looking forward to watching her progress

I agree with Ryan.  It's nice to have this thread to follow along!

Even more than before, we appreciate it because we can't be together...sometimes even if we want to.

Thank you!


Rhythem is just short of 200 days. She is FINALLY showing a baby bump. Doing very well though. Thought I might mention this as well. I have another mare, Rhapsody, I was positive was bred. She would be 16 days ahead of Rhythem. She has not come back into season and has developed what looks to be a baby bump. Everything pointed to being in foal...BUT she has tested negative 3 times. Once with a blood test and 2 times with a wee foal 120. I am thinking maybe a late miscarriage...but that does not explain her baby bump. Who knows haha. She?ll be under camera with Rhythem just in case. Rhythem is pretty buddy bound anyway so she would need a buddy when I bring her up for foalwatch. That makes Rhapsody the logical choice just in case she somehow is hiding that foal from tests lol. For that reason I will start foalwatch a bit early to cover my bases with her. Unless she comes back into season or shows clear evidence of not being in foal before that. Vets out here do not like to US them, mostly because they are not super experienced in it. Oh well just a waiting game. In the meantime here are a few more pictures...a couple of Dice who they were both bred to. Rhythem next and Rhapsody last.

Rhapsody

Just a bit about her...she?s 33.5 inches 6 years old, and AMHR registered. I?ve been hoping to take her to be officially measured so I can hardship her AMHA. I really like her bloodlines and personality. Her sire is Little Kings Big City Buck and her dam is Rowbucks Simply The Best so she?s heavily Buckaroo bred.

More information on Rhapsody please.   
I have a couple mares from the same farm as her dam, so interested in how her dam is bred.  The farm is Lucky Hart, but Renee has used both the Lucky Hart Prefix and the Rowbuck prefix; I'm not sure how she decides which she is using.

[elizabeth.conder]

Let?s see if this works...if not I?ll do it manually.

Not very clear so I?ll try again...

I thought they might be more closely related, but they are not.   My mare is Lucky Harts Simply Sophia, grey mare by Lucky "C" Farm Robby, out of Sweetwaters Golden Junie (she's a Roan Ranger daughter).
 My other Lucky Hart bred mare is Bonny, a smoky cream (registered cremello, but fairly certain she's smoky cream), she's a George daughter out of a smoky silver black mare.
