The much anticipated Pryor Foal # 12 was born to Nimbus and Knight.
Nimbus is the 2013 daughter of Feldspar and Cloud. Knight is the 2010 son of Guinevere and Cappuccino.
The foal was first discovered by Phylis Wray (thank you for the use of your photos).
The foal is a colt and has been named Tor (pronounced Thor).
Finally an Encore and Knight foal. I was start I,g to worry about her. She’s been with him for so lo,g
Hi Donna. Thank you for your comment! Nimbus has been on PZP. So we weren’t expecting a foal from her until this year.
Great new ! I was looking everyday since May to see if Nimbus got her foal and he is finally here ! The foal looks healthy and Nimbus seems to be a protective mother, I hope he will survive his first months of life. He remembered me so much his great grand father, Raven he is a look a like copy of him with his two face marks ! But I think he will be a blue roan even if it’s unexpected looking at his parents colors . He is a great mixture of genes I think and he will hopefully be as strong as his two parents . Tor also becomes Cappuccino first grandson ! With 12 foals this year it means that there is the same number of foal this year and last year while there is probably Maia, La Niña, Kitalpha, Jewel, Jasmine and Greta who are probably pregnant it’s definetly a good year !
Can you Identify that slash mark on her hindquarters
Jan, That is just some blood from the birth. No slash mark. Looks to me like she most likely swooshed her tail (which has blood on it) and got it up there on her hip.
I wondered if it were from the tail. Thank you! The colt is magnificent.
How wonderful! He’s adorable!!
Thank you for you comment Naine! Yes, he is adorable! 🙂
How great to have a Cloud grandson.
What a handsome little colt! Love those long legs. Heading out that way in a few days and hoping to maybe drive up to the Pryors again.
So happy to see this foal. Knight just like encore had to grow up early on his own without his mom so its nice to watch them have a baby. I think tor will roan out and will look like his cousin ryden whom I haven’t seen at all this year. Also i im actually glad that it wasn’t a palomino because sometimes people are overly enthusiastic about encore and would literally view a palomino Colt as cloud’s reincarnation. Of course she might produce one in the future because likely encore is fertile like her mother anyway thanks for the post!
