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!

Zenyatta now has a stunning Candy Ride filly at her side. She’s absolutely beautiful. Be sure to follow her on her twitter/instagram and Facebook pages for regular updates and she also has a website. https://t.co/9VbjTCy3lc pic.twitter.com/FyvJtHBjoV

Horse lore says something about horses with 2 whorls being shy and more reactive. As one of the sweetest fillies on the farm, Unrivaled Belle '20 would like to say that's not true. However, she did start this halter argument with Betterbetterbetter. #foalfriday pic.twitter.com/GooPuW8nr6
