gapvic Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) Hi all, Took these pics of our mare, Altair, this morning. I'm biased I know, but I think she is just beautiful Edited January 23, 2013 by gapvic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoofnHoof Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 She's a stunner! I see she is a bit like B and likes to lay in unmentionable things and gets green stains as well! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impatiens Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 +1 for gangly foal pics! She is lovely gapvic. Great action shots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gapvic Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Thank you all! We've hopefully three babies due this year (and are keeping fingers, toes and everything else crossed for safe births and healthy mares and foals). Dellante is due today but keeping her legs firmly crossed - absolutely no sign of impending labour (she hasn't even started to bag up yet) but there is no doubt she is pregnant. Altair then due mid November, and Esther due late January. Yaay for Andalusian babies :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Great photos. I love the stone wall in the background too. Is that on your property? What is the story behind that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gapvic Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Clyde we are lucky enough to live on an old property with lots of drystone walls :) . We've repaired some of the ones that are falling down, and have built some new ones. A bit off topic, but if anyone wants some garden rocks (natural (ie not cut) bluestone) we've got heaps and you're welcome to come get some.

CrazyCresties Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 She's gorgeous gapvic and lovely shots of her :) Hope all your foaling goes nice and smoothly - foal pics are compulsory :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juddabug Whippets Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Wow! Simply stunning! Hoping your first foal comes soon and safely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gapvic Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Didn't think there was any point to starting a new thread so I'll just add foalie pics here :) . Please meet Dacia B, born at 10pm last night. Delante is proving to be a great first time mum. The baby is a weeny bit off so vet is coming out to check her shortly. Fingers crossed it's nothing major. I've more photos but given she's not the prettiest thing, I thought sharing just one would do :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoofnHoof Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Awwwww all bubbas are gorgeous gapvic! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gapvic Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Forgot to add that this baby is out of the new mare, not Altair who is the white mare in the pics on the previous page. Her baby due around Cup weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Gapvic she is just lovely, look at the long legs! And sorry but I absolutely love her head, - I just don't like dished (punched in) faces that much. More photos of her would be welcome, and oh gee I hope she is okay and the vet doesn't see any problems, fingers so crossed for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gapvic Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Thanks guys! Re vet, everything seems fine but she had a slightly elevated temp so on penecillan just to be safe. PossumCorner I agree! Which is why I love these and the lusitanos. The more convex for me, the better :). I think she should end up with a good strong profile :). She is very sweet. I'll pop up a couple more pics soon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
