Cute Foals of the Week for May 12

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!

Trust me, it’s difficult for me not to share every single photo of our new @Buccherostud filly that I get from the farm, but @alexa_zepp and I sent a #HaphazardRacing halter down to Florida, and, just see for yourself.
