Surfer Dude's Gidget

Surfer Dude's Gidget is a living matriarch of the current herd. She was born March 2002 and her parents were the chesnuts Surfer Dude and Virginia Belle. She's a half sister to Surf Queen, the dam of Surfer's Riptide. Gidget's had two daughters, a son, three granddaughters, and one grandson kept for the herd. She's one of the ponies I felt like I've known all her life.

Gidget is a chestnut like both of her parents.The foal of two chestnuts can only be chestnut. All of her foals are chestnut because the sires were chestnut too.

Like her sire she has splashed white 1. Her blaze and socks is Gidget's expression of it. She's had multiple flashy "splashy" looking foals and some with blue eyes.

Gidget is sooty like her sire and many of her siblings. She tends on the darker sootier side for her family. Her mane and tail often have black hairs. The color shifts with age and with the seasons as the two pictures show.

Also like much of her family Gidget is flaxen. She's not as blonde as her half brother/nephew Surfer's Riptide. The color changes through the seasons. And it's changed as she's aged. Her mane and not her tail is usually flaxen in her summer coat. And her tail was more flaxen when she was younger.
