This c**t got all the good from his ancestors. Strength, beauty, carriage, bone, steadfastness, confidence and kindness.

He’s one for the future.

I don’t know what the deal is with these fillies. They are always running away from Mom. Really stressing the mares out. They won’t stay close. Hottie is out of breath chasing her’s down.

Those of you following the Miss Hottie saga. We’ll know more in the next 24h.

She was confirmed bred on 3/18/25 cover by Royal. Said to be open on 45 day scan. We chose not to re cover. Super wide in October when I used her to pony Eleanor on Mary Legs at Oak Ridge Fox Hunt Club’s Opening meet. Later that week palpated and scanned in foal! She would have been due the last week of February. Had no bag. Palpated mid March and foal was moving. Waiting…waiting… here we go.

She was out in a herd with a yearling between 15-45 scans which shouldn’t have affected things. When ‘open’ bunked with fillies.

There is a chance she has a super long gestation but IDK🤷🏻‍♀️. Let’s see what color this thing comes out and I’ll submit DNA.
