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.
