A wee little Totilas! er, Totili? A whole lotta babies! Posted: 23 May 2011 01:02 PM PDT This month a new wee Totilas foal was born in New Hampshire, at Shooting Star Farm. Scot Tolman describes how Totilas has influenced this little filly -- the broodmare has an established history producing foals, and how she influences her babies is a known quantity. Scot says: "Totilas gave her bone, more natural muscle development, really super balance, more length of leg, a more sloping croup, a little more length in the head, and a little less length in the neck.  Movement?  We'll see.  This filly is not really uphill in her conformation, but she transfers weight onto her hind quarters really easily.  She's a little longer in the hind leg than the rest of Orchis's foals, but she's got more length and phenomenal angles in her shoulder and forearm construction." You can track how little Mazey grows up at Scot's blog Here are a few more Totilas babies. I'll be honest, their movement isn't obviously stellar in these babies. Even at this young age you can see things like a good walk, and fluidity, and general 'bigness.' It could come later of course.
