Pandemonium Debut produced a well-marked chestnut tobiano son born at Three Wishes Arabians, Farmington, Iowa, from the chestnut purebred mare Telcontawna (Telcontar x Crystal Shamianna).
Owner Sue Alarie was liking Zero Gravity pretty well, with his super dispostion and people-pleasing ways. When he was a month old, she came home to find him dead in the field with no known cause. She was heartbroken.

DLA Morningstarr produced the first of two fillies sired by Pandemonium Lyre born here at Pandemonium for the year. Lyrical sold before she was born when Shari Buske bought the dam. Of course, she would have preferred a Pinto filly, but the one she got is good enough quality to hold her head up anywhere. She sold again nearly at once when Morningstarr arrived in Washington. Hpoefully, her new owner will be able to show her. She deserves it.

Pandemonium Parting Shot is the final foal from SX Omega, and is out of Pandemonium Fantasia. Pandemonium Parting Shot is Omega's SECOND solid chestnut colt for the year. I am going AARGGG! as I really wanted a Pinto filly from him, although he left me with many nice purebred fillies.
He sold at once.

This is definitely the year for doubling up. When I first saw the face white on Leche, I thought it was one of a kind. I've had that reaction before. NOT. Pandemonium Karess put out a chestnut and white pattern so similar that until the foal hair shed, we checked the white in the tail to be sure if it were her son, or Nada's daughter we were looking at. Both are by ROL Raven, who has all of seven white hairs for a star as his only face white.
Some friends of mine wrote:
It's amazing what oddball things will make you think of a name for a horse. When I came home from work, sitting on the computer was a bag of candy. They are called Skittles. Just in case you aren't familiar with Skittles, they are fruit flavored, assorted colored, football shaped pieces of candy.
It reminded me of Karess's boy. With all his white and his smaller areas of color. How about PANDEMONIUM SKITTLES?
We think it is kind of cute, like him.

Last year, the big, solid colored stud colt Pandemonium Cariņosa presented me with got named "Bob" somehow. Jess started it, but I am not sure why such a "Plain Jane" style wraper stuck. It sure is not typical of the naming scheme around here. When Jess ended up buying the colt, I suggested he'd probably want to do something with it prior to registration. Thus, Colonel Bob came into being. (Anything, but ANYTHING you match to a name like Pandemonium can be assured to go through.)
Jess's younger brother is Jim-Bob, so when Cariņosa repeated the feat this year, only in chestnut, the big bruiser sport style colt got called "Colonel Jim" immediately... (I wonder how his brother feels getting all these colts named after him? I don't think anybody asked him... or anything radical like that.)
He didn't shrink, any by weaning time, either. But he did turn out to be another liver. Since his dam is, too, it wasn't as startling as when the bay and white Pandemonium De Nada did it. I don't remember ever getting two in one foal crop.
The farm visitors quickly nicknamed him CJ. Somehow, Jimmy just doesn't fit him. He is one of only two foals to be born to the now deceased SX Omega, who never did give me that magical Pinto filly, although I have no kick at all with the lovely purebred ladies he left me.

Haap Louise was the second mare to foal here for the year. She also had wax April 3rd, right along with Nada. Sure enough, wax on the 3rd = foal on the 19th. Her foal was NOT there at 5 when I did my check. I showered and went at 7:20 as usual to get around the detour. As I turned the corner, I saw something blue at Louise's feet.
I had ordered a bay tobiano filly with more white than Lucretia... Louise gave me almost what I wanted ... a bay tobiano filly, with a decent amount of white... not an overabundance...I got EXACTLY what I ordered, but I forgot one thing: Stand and suck!
She was still in the sack, still warm, had pooped, but then suffocated. She was everything I had ordered, but ALIVE. Three dead, one alive. What a fantastic year! Kentucky had nothing on my farm.
Still Pandemonium Here...

Foal number 15 turned out to be the elusive Pinto filly for Pandemonium De Nada, dam of ten solid fillies and four Pinto colts. I think she saved all the white that belonged on those other 10 and dumped them all onto Pandemonium Forget-Me-Not, a 95.7% Arabian daughter of ROL Raven, sire of nearly all her produce.
She's never met a person she doesn't like. Typical of Nada's offspring, she believes people were invented to pet her. Now weaned, she has a nice long neck and is a good legged, tall filly. She turned out liver, which is the best shade of chestnut to be, to me.
When she was real little, we did a video segment of her a la "Got Milk" commercials, complete with the milk dripping out of the corner of her mouth. With that huge blaze top and bottom making the most complete "milk mustache" imaginable, she really fills the bill. Cute, cute, cute. Her farm name is Leche, which is Spanish for milk.

Jess Wiltamuth, WILTAMUTH ARABIANS, IA, reported the birth of his first personally owned foal, a "dark" colt with a star and four whites, one really low, the others socks. The colt has a very nice head, a long neck, and long legs. The rest will unkink in a week or so and be evaluated then. Jess, who tore open the sack and rubbed the little fellow down with a towel, is well-bonded. Both seem totally imprinted.
Proud mother is Dawns Darcie. This is the second time ROL Raven and a SULTAN KHARAFF+ daughter have produced a black. A third daughter had one sired by Pandemonium Debut.
Wiltamuth Ramadan is the monicker.
Jess explained, "I learned the word in Religion class, and was thinking of the word Amistad (friendship in Spanish), which is a movie about slaves. I was so tired that I tied the two words together in my mind.
"Ramadan, the nineth month of the Islamic calendar, is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is a month of fasting, no sex, no food, no water, except for pregnant women and military men, who must make it up later."
Ah, the joys of a college education! It also follows naming conventions, the RA from Raven, the DA from Darcie...
