2026 Buckskin (roan?) GVHS gypsy vanner filly
If you've been following us for a while, you know that naming babies is one of my favorite parts of foaling season! This beautiful baby girl, unbelievably our 6th buckskin foal in a row (a less than 1% chance of this repeated result happening for us this foaling season!!), was born on our 21st dating anniversary. Fun fact - Justin and I are high school sweethearts. Did you know that less than 2% of high school sweethearts get married? What were the odds of having a buckskin filly born on our dating anniversary? And not only that, but the 6th buckskin in a row born on our dating anniversary? ๐ง๐ค I am neither a mathematician nor a statistician, but it seems to me that the stars aligned for this golden girl! Her beautiful mom is a maiden (a first-time mom) who decided to foal at day 356 (on the "late" end of the spectrum for mares, who can safely foal anywhere from day 310 to day 370). And, it shows -- this baby love is truly 1/2 grown!
Welcome to the world, little sweetheart. ๐ You sure made this anniversary one to remember! ๐๐๐
