New Foal - Cayenne
A new foal has been born! Cayenne is his name, and he is a little chestnut pinto. He has been born three weeks early. Fortunately, he is healthy, just very tired.
His foal color a lighter peachy-ish color, with the normal foal pangare. He has a blaze, faint dorsal stripe, and near one of his hind stifles you can see some lighter speckles caused by the sabino allele he inherited from his sire.
I'll post pictures here when I have them, but it may be a week or so. Now we have 2 of the 4 foals comin' this year, the next two are due June 8 or so. Anyone want to guess the date and gender of these next foals?
EDIT: Well, it took me until now (March 7, 2013) to remember those photos. Here they are.

Breed Profile: The Noriker
I think horses of this breed look really magical, and would be really excited to meet one face to face. :)
Other names: Norico-Pinzgauer, Pinzgauer, and Oberlander. The Noriker's which are bred in Germany's state stud farm of Marbach are known as Black Forest Horses.
History: Over two thousand years ago, this breed found its start in the province of Noricum, although the breed has been mostly developed around Salzburg. During Roman times this area was called Juvavum, and was known for the horses bred there. This breed is very common in Austria, and currently more than half of the horses there are Norikers.
Uses: These beauties were bred with the intention of a strong war horse that could also be used as a pack animal. People have found that Norikers also excel in agricultural work, harness, and hauling timber.
Height: 16-17hh
Conformation: Good clean limbs, sturdy, hard hooves, thick neck, thick mane/tail, deep chest

A New Blog
And the first post. I'd been thinking about having a blog for awhile, and I decided to give it a try. If you couldn't tell from the title, this blog is all things equine. As I learn new things about horses, I'll post them. Yes, there are tons of horsey-blogs out there, but I will try my best to help you learn something new with each post.
Some topics I'll try to cover include horse drawing techniques, training/handling, interesting facts, and a breed profile here and there. This will change as I go along, but for now it's my aim. I'll have a real blog post up when I can, and any tips, +1s, or followers are welcome.
