Ok I just need to know… has anyone else ever seen a foal with some extra belly fuzz? I have to say it’s a first that I’ve seen a foal shed out and keep some extra tummy fuzz! 😂 I think she might need a date with some clippers! LOL

But don’t let that fuzz distract you from this awesome filly! Everyone’s looking for those flashy splash Quarter Horse fillies, and here’s the perfect one to add to your herd!

Foal ID #10 ~ APHA Black Splash Filly 🖤🤍

This filly has it all! Even hidden beneath that fluffy foal coat, you can already see just how special she is. Just wait until she sheds out and that rich black coat comes through… she’s going to be an absolute showstopper! 😍

With her eye-catching splash markings, athletic build, and sweet personality, she’s the kind that turns heads everywhere she goes.

Don’t let that tawny brown fuzz fool you! Hidden beneath that fluffy foal coat is a stunning Black Splash C**t, and trust me… he’s going to be an absolute head-turner.

Better snap him up before he finishes shedding that baby fuzz and everyone realizes just how handsome he really is! 😉🤣

Who doesn’t love a gorgeous solid palomino? 😍✨

Did you know this handsome c**t is a full sibling to the dam of our 2026 AQHA Palomino Splash Filly? Great looks definitely run in this family!

He also marks the final foal from this cross, as his dam will be retiring from our broodmare band after producing some truly exceptional foals for us over the years. We’re incredibly grateful for everything she’s given our program, and this guy is no exception.

If you’re looking for a well-bred, eye-catching prospect with proven genetics behind him, don’t overlook this handsome boy!

I just can’t make up my mind which keeper filly I should offer for sale… this beautiful AQHA Palomino Splash Filly or my AQHA Buckskin Splash Filly. 💛🖤

Both are everything I hoped they’d be, and I never intended on parting with either of them… but sometimes life has other plans, and hard decisions have to be made.

If this pretty lady has caught your eye, feel free to send me a message! Just remember… these fillies are for sale, not on sale. And honestly, I’m not sure how long they’ll be available before I come to my senses and decide to keep them after all! 😅🫣

This exactly… I see so many AI sales ads and flyers popping up everywhere lately. Use it for fun? Sure but please don’t use it to market your horse or use it as a stallion flyer option.

What are your thoughts????

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Let’s talk a little bit about AI and horse pictures since AI is all the rage right now.

I work with AI pretty much daily at my big kid job, and it is pretty amazing technology!

What we need to realize tho, is what it is and what it isn’t. Using AI to edit pictures seems like a no brainer. This winter I even tried it with the idea of just doing a different background. With the help of a friend noticing something on the pictures I had “edited” and then doing a little more research, I quickly realized with AI flat out telling me, that you are not just changing the background. AI is not taking the exact horse from your picture and putting it on a new background. It’s recreating the horse as it sees it. The horse could look better, could look worse. It can be very subtle where you just think ok hey it just cleaned up the picture, fixed the lighting…but it’s not your picture no matter how close it looks. It is not the same as editing in photoshop.

So it’s a bummer, but you will continue to see real pictures from us, maybe not the best background or lighting or whatever, but it will be the actual horse. Sure I’ll try to fix lighting when needed or possible but it won’t be done with ai. Will I do a fun Christmas picture or something, well of course! But that will be the extent of it.

Here is an example I just did today to use as an example. The horse actually looks worse in the AI image. Different angles on the horse, legs set differently. I then asked it how it did it, and you can see the answer in the pictures too.

Hope this helps! I’m just seeing more and more pictures that are extra nice, or stallion fliers and people may or may not understand how it works.
