Well my beautiful palomino mare was due on May the 6th and she has all the signs but still hasn't foaled. She is bred to our perlino stallion Iceman and should have a palamino or a creamello or perlino. Our other mare was due April 6th and foaled April 26th. I will be so happy when she foals and all is well. Then 1 more mare is due in July. Laura

Sounds like a nerve-wracking time. But, it sure seems like you are going to have a gorgeous offspring! What a combination, no wonder you are anxious to see this foal. Marianne

Well Bambi had a filly last night about 1:30 am. It is a palomino or maybe a buckskin its sometimes hard to tell at first. She is a couple of shades darker and redder than her last filly that was a palomino and she is sort of gold all over including her mane so we will see what develops. She is pretty big for a newborn. I will post pics when we get them on the computer. I'm sure my girls will have plenty on the computer for me to choose from soon. Sherry it sounds like you will be having fun in June! It sounds like you are putting a lot of care and thought into your breeding of cattle. Very cool. Laura
What great news!!!! Can't wait to see a picture of her. Marly
