The Waiting Begins

    Jazz is home. Now the waiting begins. We wait 14 days to see if she is in foal and if everything took, her estimated foaling date is May 14, 2013.
  
Will Our Baby Have Color?
   Certain colors, such as Jazz's Tobiano, do not appear in pure-bred arabians. Our hope is to produce a half-arabian foal with color. Since the Tobiano gene is dominate, Jazz has a 50/50 chance of throwing color. We know she is not homozygous for Tobiano since one of her two previous foals was black. Bay is pretty much a given for our foal since daddy and mommy both carry the bay gene. Although as we have learned, all bay horses have a black gene present and Jazz has produced a black foal in the past.

I know. The average mare carries her foal for 340 days +/- 10 days. This winter is going to seem like an eternity!!! But I will be a nervous wreck just getting through the next 14 days!!
