After months of it sitting around in my to-do folder.. I finally got around to drawing Shae! Our newest member at BS! :)
(This means that BS will be aging one year ASAP.)


BS has been honored by having a breeding approved between Bullet and Flight Angel – a mare we have admired most ardently. We hope this colt will excel as both his parents have done and spent a long, happy and successful life at the stables.


The phone rang in the BS main office for a good two minutes before Kalib was able to tear himself away from the holiday celebrations in the main hall.
He was thoroughly drunk - much to Lucie's displeasure - and stumbled his way along the hallways, holding onto lengths of tinsel and accidentally pulling down fairylights as he went.
The office was the least festive of the entire Beaumont Manor, with only a very small decretive synthetic Christmas tree on the desk. Kalib bumbled in, and took a deep breath before leaning down to pick up the phone. He glanced at the caller ID as he did and immediately he straightened up as he saw that the call was coming from Sunstar Stables, the racing yard where Flight Angel was kept. The glorious golden mare had been brought to BS one wonderful day and was covered by Bullet, and it was obvious that either something disastrous had happened... or she was foaling!
Another breath. He paused, tensed, undecided as to whether to pick up now... or check the dates.
He chose the latter. The calender pages were flying as he pulled back to when Angel was covered, and saw that it was late January - which meant that the 11 month gestation must be coming to a close. He vaguely remembered a few updates on ultrasounds, but he had had such a busy year that anything not immediately important had been pushed aside.
Nevertheless, he lunged for the phone and cleared his throat, trying to push the alcohol out of his blood stream.
"Hello, Beaumont Stables."
"Kalib!" A man on the other end trilled, half out of breath. "It's Angel, she's foaled! A groom found her with the little guy-" Kalib registered nothing but the 'he'. Bullet had another son! -"lying next to her, being cleaned off and trying to stand. He's just spectacular! He's trying to stand at the moment, he's got quite an audience too!" There was the shuffling of a group and murmurs and then a light laugh. "He's trying to stand." The man chuckled, and paused again. Another bout of soft laughter.
"He's healthy then?"
"Perfectly. The vet gave him a very quick check when we found him, but Angel's been left alone to take care of him since."
Alone? How is she 'alone' when there's a goddamn crowd outside her stall? Kalib asked himself irritably.
"So, describe him. What's he like?"
"Bright, coppery bay - but I think there are some gold dapples! Can't be sure with the light though... He's got some Sabino; four white legs; big diamond star and part of a stripe - then a thin race down the side. Bright blue eyes; pale hooves; just generally quite handsome for a newborn!"
Kalib nodded in silence. "Keep me updated." He said quietly, hearing jeering from the ballroom again and wishing he was in there, despite the wonderful news of a new BS foal.
"I'll get a picture ASAP. I'll call back in a few hours." He paused as though he was finished, but suddenly blurted out a few more words: "Oh, and Merry Christmas!"

`Crazysparkles06’s Flight Angel*
------------------------------------------------------------- Impressive Sky*
* = non HARPG

Projected Height : 16.1hh (165cm / 65 inch)
Projected Adult Weight : 1,200 lbs
Phenotype : Copper Buckskin Splash. An extremely bright, vibrant buckskin base, paler about his shoulders, quarters, upper neck and cheek, with almost red patches around his legs and head, merging into a deep, red-brown where his points begin and most of his face. Pale, golden white dapples are easily seen on his quarters, fading towards his front half and give him a bright, shiny appearance.
Markings : A big diamon star, just like his Mom's that goes down into an even, vertical stripe, to just past half way down his head, then stops abrutly. It then trails off into Bullet's family's siginature race, down the side of his face, fading to a tiny line of white, and then down towards his bottom lip, behind his mouth. His bottom lip is pink from the marking, and so is the bottom of his topl ip, with a smooth dent in teh center. He has two long socks, with what appears to be Sabino patterning at the top, reaching up to the inside of his leg. A short stocking on his NF, extending up the back with Sabino patterning. A longer, fuller on the inside, stocking on his OF, tapering up dramatically at the back, also with similar mock-Sabino patterning.
Scar(s) : Will have: :iconbeaumontstables: freeze-brand on near hind-quarter
Eyes : Pale blue
Genotype : | Aa/Ee/nCr/nSb | »» | AAAa | E+e | Cr+CrCr | Sb+SbSb |
Physical Appearance : Tall, gangly and very lithe. He appears much like any normal Thoroughbred: long legs, small, compact body, long, straight head and small ears. He has big, bright eyes and a high-set tail, small, dainty hooves and big joints. We believe he will look much like his mother when he grows up and hope he will use this long, light and swift body to aid him on the track.
Inherited Physical Traits From Parents :
From Bullet:
:bulletblack: Lean build (100%) = No
:bulletred: Deep chest (25%) = No
:bulletred: Fragile build (20%) = Yes
:bulletblack: Physical strength (90%) = No
:bulletred: Strong lungs (20%) = No
From Angel:
no known traits to pass
Temperament : Considering who his parents are, we'd anticipated a confident, fearless colt with lots of bold attributes and a strong disposition. How wrong we were. Although, don't get me wrong, we adore how he has turned out! He spends most of the time hugging Angel's side, unlike most colts his age, and needs plenty of encouragement to try anything new, but when he feels safe and happy, his real colors shine! He is just like a little golden bullet when they're galloping across the field together! We expect him to peak later, rather than earlier in his career, but that shouldn't be a problem with his personality the way it is. Shae will probably need a traveling companion/stablemate to go with him everywhere due to his tendency to be herdbound and his need for constant, close companionship. We imagine that he'll be a "one-person horse" so we will work hard to match him with an appropriate rider - we expect this will be Richey, but we may end up bringing in a new, younger rider to grow with him and form the kind of bond he really needs.

I was looking at this again, as I do from time to time :giggle: (I'm such a proud "mommy" ;P) I just love it to much! :w00t: I'm not sure if I mentioned it to you or forgot to mention it, but I've recently found out that Flight Angel is actually Splash, not Sabino. I'm not sure if Bullet carries the Sabino Gene, but I felt obligated to mention this to you before he gets older and breeds. It doesn't, of course, change his appearance at all, just the genetics.

Also, I was reading all his info, and I was wondering why he was coined as being "Unrealistic"? There are purebred Palomino, Cremello and Buckskin Thoroughbreds! :w00t: And they're GORGEOUS!

Haha, no worries :love: I'm a proud mum too!!

Err, na, you hadn't told me :O_o: Erm, well, I guess it doesn't change his coat, but it's a bit weird now :O_o: How come Angel's suddenly a splash?

Oh, it was because I wasn't certain if the Sabino gene was part of the Thoroughbred's official, realistic colours - this goes the same for splash now. Any clues? :)

She's not suddenly, someone mentioned it a while ago and I just haven't changed her ref ^^; She's more likely to be a Minimal Splash because her socks aren't jagged, she doesn't have a belly spot, or any white on her lower lip; all typical characteristics of Sabino. Splash horses often have blue eyes too, which helps logically explain those. She is considered a Minimal Splash because she isn't "splashed" on the face, just on her legs. You can see the splashed faces on the horses at that site. It's a pretty rare gene in TB's (just recognized in 2004), but it does happen. With Shae being Splash, omg, his babies will be MUCH desired! :eager:

Here is a link to some TB's with Sabino, Splash, Frame Overo, ect.,: [link]
My favorite Purebred TB Color Breeder (specializing in Palomino, Buckskin, and Cremello): [link] I would be lying if I wasn't secretly waiting for an actual Flight Angel to pop out one day! :giggle:

[link] Here is a list with pictures of a whole bunch of horses with varying degrees of Splash. Some of them barely have white at all, others a lot, but almost all of them have blue eyes. Out of Order on that page is a good example of a minimal Splash. You'd have absolutely no idea if his eyes weren't blue!

Ooh, I see ^^; (Sorry for sounding snappy; I really didn't mean to :S)
And it's not a problem, anyway :) There's a speckled marking characteristic that runs in Shae's bloodlines (from my Sky), so it's totally fine :)

Thanks for the info, as well! It's really awesome, and I shall change him to 'realistic' now :)

Eee!!! This is so a present! :happybounce: I can't tell you how long I've waited for little Shae to arrive! :eager: I will be following his career closely, you can bet on that! :squee:

And this is such a beautiful picture too! Your style just gets more and more adorable with ever submission! And the backgrounds are to die for! :hooray: Shae is more handsome than I even imagined he would be, (although I knew he would be a stunner, of course ;P) The story was a wonderful little tidbit too! You're a good writer, you should do it more often! :w00t:

:tighthug: :love: :aww:
