"MAGIC" (registered name TBA)
(Positively's Pride X Positively Charmed)
2024 smoky black silver colt
(pictured at four weeks old, November 9, 2024)
On October 12, 2024 at 6:15 AM Charli delivered her fourth foal, a good sized silver colt. Proud papa is our 35 year old stallion Positively's Pride. I was not really expecting Charli to
foal yet as her teats were not dropped out of the bag or at all full. Nevertheless I was checking the foalcam
every few hours and when I checked at 3 AM she was eating hay from
her hay net, but at the 5:30 AM check she was down and I knew it was
time. She got up and down quite a few times before pushing out this
big little guy. He may have his mama's cream and his daddy's W20
gene in addition to his silver gene. We will test. Every birth is a
miracle and we are always grateful when things go well!
Like his siblings Magic is friendly, sociable with both horses and people, smart and just a little bit sassy. He is very brave and independent and
will happily venture far from Mom in the pasture! He is being worked with every day and is learning to pick up his feet, be brushed and haltered, and really enjoys being scratched. He has been lightly hosed off on a warm day and had no problem with that-
I suspect he will end up like his Mom, a real water baby!
Magic's pedigree combines the best of many older bloodlines- hard-to- find Kennebec, old New England, old midwestern (Sweet's), Foxton, Chingadero,
Lippitt and more.
He is one of just two intact male representatives of the Foxton Smoky Dawn branch of silvers in the lower 48 (there are two cousins, sired by his dam's full brother Unconventional, standing in Alaska and England). Magic is available to the perfect
home, email me if interested. We have not priced him yet and finding the best home is more important than money, so
let's talk if you'd like to make him yours.

October 12, 2024- I didn't have time to grab my good
camera so these are just cell phone pics of Magic's first few hours. He is big boy to come out of such a small mare.
October 12, 2024-
Check out the last head shot. See the blue-ish eyes? Those are not
uncommon in single cream dilute foals. Magic is just about 7 hours old here.
October 14, 2024- I'm not sure if today counts as Day Three or not. Honestly the last two weeks and especially the last three days have been a blur. But here is Magic at just over 48 hours old. His IGG was great and
he was a good boy for the vet (even if his sedation wasn't quite working so well) and we
did give him oxytetracyline via IV to help his contracted fronts relax. Within an hour they were looking way better and today he is perfect!
October 17, 2024-
Magic is five days old! He went into a new paddock today. He enjoyed
more room to run until late afternoon when something got Charli very upset and I had
to move them back closer to the barn. She is coming into her foal
heat, and with their protective maternal instincts at their highest, my mares can be more sensitive and excitable during this time.
October 19, 2024- Magic is one week old today. He went in our foal pasture for the first time this afternoon. There's lots of room and lots of grass (Charli seemed happy for the latter)!
October 28, 2024- Two weeks old. Magic is filling out nicely. I finally got some good pictures of his pretty face. Of all of Charli's foals I think Magic looks the most like her and his maternal grandsire, Gone Gold.
November 2, 2024- Two weeks old.
November 9, 2024- Magic is four weeks old today! Time really does fly. I wish they could stay foals forever! The first picture was taken with my cell phone at dusk as Magic was watching Jim bush hog their pasture.
The other two were taken earlier in the day. The saddle pad was my "ear getter"!
