Thoroughbreds in North America all celebrate their birthdays on Jan. 1, so as soon as the New Year rolls around, so does “foaling season” – that magical time that lasts from the beginning of January through the late spring when racehorse babies are born.

In this weekly piece, we’ll bring you the best of new arrivals to the Thoroughbred world. So sit back, relax, and take in the Cute Foals of the Week for 2020! Want to see cute foals in person? Be sure to visit Horse Country!

If you own a foal who needs to be registered, don’t forget to check off to donate to The Jockey Club Safety Net Foundation, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, or any of the other charities available through the registration process!

Nuevas ilusiones para Luis Álvarez Cervera.

Foal de DOÑA PEPITA, madre de LEILANI por SEABHAC (Scat Daddy y Curlin Hawk) que crece sano en Haras de la Barelière @jose_bareliere (video). Este año está llena de DINK por lo que espera un propio hermano de LEILANI. Muchísima suerte. pic.twitter.com/SnWWz9cjPL

.@DocRoss292 loves his four 2020 foals, but one seems to be developing his sires personality a bit sooner than the others. Looks like him, acts like him...now just needs to run like him. https://t.co/0i1EHXCE5v pic.twitter.com/sHufmjMRvw
