Curly Foals

04/27/2022

Always exciting to welcome new additions to our farm - ALWAYS a big relief to have babies safely foaled out.
Please welcome our new baby, sire is *Sandman's Magic and dam is DKH Lacey - we are considering names even now!

We had a third foal that I didn't yet post about. Please help us to welcome our *Joey Junior, barn name *JJ.
I am sharing a few photos of him and sending a message to all who think that breeding horses (or any animals) is fun, easy and/or to be taken lightly.
This is the second foal for my little mare *Skipper's Cocoa Express EB. Her first foaling I missed entirely - she was 2 weeks early! Luckily, that birth was uncomplicated and her (now) coming 3 year old filly is lovely, healthy and so awesome!
I was there this time - believe me- I DO try very hard to attend all births and the following story is the WHY we need to be there!
*Cocoa foaled easily, if anything she foaled very quickly and *JJ was up and about in just about no time. *Cocoa passed her placenta quite quickly as well and all seemed good I stayed around to wait to see him nursing (as I ALWAYS do). He was interested in nursing, but *Cocoa kept getting down, lying on her side, sometimes her back - not violent rolling, but she was in obvious discomfort! I gave her 1.5ml of banamine orally and I texted the vet - it was around 3am, so I didn't really expect to hear back from the vet, but I wanted her to get the message as early in the am as possible. Another hour passed and *Cocoa was still doing the same things - little *JJ was mostly unconcerned and he and I bonded (that was the only good thing). I decided to give her more bananmine so I gave her another 2ml and after 20/30 minutes she finally started to feel a bit better. I fed her some hay cubes by hand - I wanted to make sure her digestion wasn't affected and she does think hay cubes are treats so it was a win/win. Finally little *JJ had a chance to nurse and get on with this next part of his very short life!
Around 5am the vet called (bless her!), she was up and about for some other night watch thing she had to do and she told me to check respiration and heart rate and under the tail to check for any excessive tearing - there was none. There seemed to be no reason for this to have occurred and yet it did. *Cocoa did need a second dose of banamine later that afternoon (per vet advice), but she continued to improve after that. I was SO glad that I decided to make sure I was there for this birth - had I not been I may have walked out to a dead or near dead pony in the am and an orphan to raise :(
People, please, please, please, if you plan to breed your mare - MAKE SURE YOU ATTEND THE BIRTH! Your mare or your foal's life may depend upon you to do something.
Now, please enjoy the photos of *Joe Junior!

So just wanted to share photos from yesterday of our newest filly.
I am going to call her *Imagination. This is a nod to her sire *Icon of course, but also to her maternal grand-mother, affectionately known around here as Mirage. We will call her *Em for a barn name.

While we wait impatiently for our next 2 Curly bred foals :) Please enjoy these photos of our Curly bred, s/c john mule out of our mare *Sandman's Serenade (own daughter of *Sandman's Magic) and his sire is the donkey jack, Hawleywood's Hotrod.
We have named our baby mule Easy Like Sunday Morning.
I am in love with him!

05/21/2021

My MUCH anticipated mule baby has arrived! Its a BOY. I was really surprised by the strong dun factor on him, but Warren reminded me that even though the donkey sire is a roan chestnut, all donkey's carry dun. It is so weird as I am very used to a dun factor, but it has always come from *Sandman - not this time!
*Serenade is a fantastic first time mom!

Here are some pictures of our 2019 *BCF Icon/DKH Lacey c**t, *Inspired. These were taken May 26, 2020 *Inspired (aka) *Panda, is a yearling now - he is a big, beautiful, intact c**t - wonderful mover and has an exceptional disposition - great manners! The pinto horse with him is 15.2hh and the bay is well over 16hh. *Inspired is offered for sale - please contact me for more information and pricing. He can also be gelded if one wants - but he is certainly stallion quality!

*BCF Icon proudly presents some updated photos of his his 2019 son, *Inspired.
Dam is s/c Curly DKH Lacey.

08/06/2019

And so the appy traits begin! *Icon's Barefoot Ideal, aka *Ida. Her dam is my mare *Spar's Barefoot Contessa and her sire is *BCF Icon. I couldn't have asked for a better pairing of horses - I am astounded how great she has turned out. So anyway, as if being "ideal" isn't enough, now *Ida is also the first of 4 foals born to *Tessa who have shown appy characteristics. Like her mom, *Ida has been born a bay pinto, but she will roan out like her momma - soooooo cool. Oh ya, and she has the same, incredible disposition of her mother AND grandmother - such an incredible line of horses. She is not for sale.

My friends tell me that every year I look at my foals and say "THIS one is special" lol - quess I like all of them eh? But really..... look at this filly - she is just gorgeous!

Probably stallion prospect IMO.

Our AMAZING *Sandman's Magic - standing at stud in Summerland, BC. Our outstanding senior stallion is a proven sire of quality and curls, along with being a favorite riding horse! *Sandman is mostly retired from riding now, but he continues to contribute his superior qualities to all his offspring. He is well conformed, an excellent mover and has the "best" disposition you could hope for!

*Sandman has been tested positive for two copies of the KRT25 gene and that means he is known to be homozygous for curls!

On top of all that he is the coolest sooty dun colour, which he does throw about 50% of the time.

*Sandman is available for live cover and shipped semen, and he also has frozen semen available in Europe and Australia.

I expect you all have been waiting to see these baby photos! *Firesides Little Joey only has two foals on the ground so far (one expected this year) but here is a look at them. Both fillies, both from my mini mare Lily Bean, the 2015 filly was Lily Blossom, she was a s/c silver dapple - so cute and tiny! The 2017 filly *Belle was Curly coated - will end up black I am pretty sure. The are just so adorable!
We are expecting one foal from *Joey this fall - out of our miniature bred Curly mare *Skipper's Cocoa Express EB - this baby will be available for sale. Let me know early if you are interested as these VSP Curlies will find homes quickly! http://www.curlystandardplace.com/about-curly-horses/firesides-little-joey/

Now I am going to share a few photos of get from *Sandman's Magic - he is our senior, sooty dun, homozygous, Curly Stallion. Rising 18 this year - it has been my privilege to own him for most of his life - since he was a long yearling. He was my main riding horse for many years, now he lives the "life of Riley" - but he and I still have the special bond that stallion owners/handlers have with their boys.
*Sandman always sires high quality, sizey offspring. He is still an active sire and we would be delighted to put some curls on the quality mare of your choosing. Your mare need not be a Curly - you will get a Curly goal no matter the hair status of your mare!
I tried to only choose a few photos - but there are a bunch - he has sired quite a few over the years - enjoy!

Since I was posting recently about the upcoming breeding season, I thought I would share photos of the offspring from my stallions - here are some of *Icon's get. The quality is quite obvious I think!

The fourth foal expected here at the Curly Standard Place will be September 2018 from *Firesides Little Joey and out of *Cocoa Express EB. *Joey is our VSP miniature bred Curly stallion - he has an outstanding and very trainable disposition and *Cocoa is trained to drive - she is from the excellent breeding program of Bancroft Curly Ponies, her sire is a small Curly pony stallion and her dam is a miniature.

Both *Joey and *Coca stand approximately 10 hands so we are expecting their foal to mature around the same size..

I am including one photo of *Joey's 2017 filly (sorry, she is sold).
