Atom update (born 1/31, due 2/23): he looks like a Quarter Horse. All and all, he's a healthy colt. We've pushed back xrays, but you can see that his height will be impacted. However, there's nothing slight about him. He's a tank. pic.twitter.com/67dhSLuHDT

Mother Nature at its very best. Born almost on due date , beautiful , strong healthy filly who stood, drank, slept, cantered around stable, drank , slept and repeated til she went out at 9 hrs old for her first steps outside. It does not get much better in my world! pic.twitter.com/z9tFhhkPHU

This cheeky little lady was bred by Cliveden Stud, she is out of their 1000 Guineas placed mare SUPER SLEUTH and by (@JakeJWarren) Highclere Stud's CABLE BAY. She is quite the character! #BreedingSuccess #FoalPhotos2021 pic.twitter.com/fRj08RmMVf

Atom Cruiser (born 1/31, due 2/23): Even though we continue to keep him confined to a small paddock to ensure the right hock fully occifies, I swear he's doing bench presses & squats with dumbbells. Goodness, he's a tank. I see a resemblance... pic.twitter.com/M7Sk4ThbbU

Peaches has the same star/long snip combo and is bred on a similar cross. Let's hope they're twinsies in racing ability, too. https://t.co/bTFuDRyl3l pic.twitter.com/ngorFAjDlD
