6 of the 7 Windy Creek babies in 2011

Shaq and Lena's bay roan stud colt

Shaq and Pretty Girls buckskin filly

Shaq and Drifter's red roan stud colt

Shaq and Smokey's red dun filly

Shaq and Cane's red dun filly

Shaq and Royal's sorrel, brown, ??? not sure stud colt

I know that there are some repeats on this post with the older ones from Monday night (7/25/11) but now there is a new individual picture of our 2011 colts, except for midnites little palomino filly. It has been so hot this summer and our creek has been so wet that it is hard to get many decent pictures of the babies without them being so dirty. If you are part of this heatwave, stay cool!

I am not sure how to get the names by the pictures the best, the colts that are the trickiest to figure out are our two red dun fillies, Smokey's and Cane's. Smokey's baby has the bigger blaze of the two. These are still pictures from this past Monday, I hope I don't have any repeats.

Drifter's, told ya he became a roan, and Smokey's sneaking into shot too.

The other roan, Lena's bay did in fact become a bay roan!

There are quite a few pictures from Monday night when I was out in the pasture with my camera, I can't decide which ones to put on here so they may be again, more than one post from this picture day.

Pretty Girl and baby, 7/25/11

Here is Pretty Girl and her buckskin filly. What a little beauty!

New Pictures taken July 25th of SRB Can Cane and 2011 filly

Here are a few pictures of Cane and her 2011 red dun filly. You can always tell which babies are Cane's, they always have a certain look about them that demands attention.

Smokey and her red dun filly

OK this is it for older pictures, I just got to thinking that if anyone is new to our blog that I should explain some of our bloodlines.

Our stallion Watch Joe Shaq ( a red dun that carries and expresses the roan gene) is out of Watch Joe Jack Bars and Sue Fancy, he is a grandson of Watch Joe Jack and Elano.

Five of our mares, Syd(bay), Cane(sorrel), Drifter(sorrel), Royal(sorrel), and Smokey(sorrel) are all half sisters out of the stud Sneaky Red Baron who is out of Mr Baron Red and Sneaky Feast. Drifter and Royal are full sisters.

These 6 are the original group that dad and mom bought between 2001 to 2003 starting with Syd when she was 3 (in 2001) through Shaq when he was just a funny looking yearling (in 2003). We have pretty much watched them grow right in front of our eyes.

Pretty Girl is a 12 year old buckskin out of Gabbys Watch and Swendoll Dandy. Gabbys Watch is out of Caballero Mujer and Watch Sandy Joe, Watch Sandy Joe is out of Watch Joe Jack and Sandy Ridge.

Lena is the newest addition to our herd, we got her a few years back, she is a 16 year old bay out of Ima Peppy San and Christian Olena. Ima Peppy San is out of Little Peppy Four who is out of Peppy San Badger and La Quinta.

I love how Royal looks in this picture, just had to share it!

Drifter's

Here are just some more from earlier, since these pictures Pretty Girl and Cane both had their colts. Syd was the only mare this year without a baby. Drifter and Lena's stud colts both roan out into a red roan and bay roan respectfully. I hope I don't overwhelm anyone with all these pictures at one time:)

Where in the world has this summer gone? I am so far behind with my pictures! This is just a mixture of pictures that I took even before Pretty Girl and Cane had their 2011 babies. I have quite a few so I may end up with a lot of new post tonight, it is already almost midnight so I hope I can stay up long enough to get them on here. Besides these old shots I have more that I took two nights ago that I want to get on here too. We shall see, hope you enjoy. It has been another great year for color, build, and dispositions in our Windy Creek babies.
