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 2021! 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!

We have our first reported #MDBred foal of 2021 No Guts No Glory Farm's Onearmedbandit had a colt by Northview Stallion Station's Golden Lad last night at 10:15pm. We're happy to hear that both mare and foal are doing well, congratulations! #MDSired Gina Robb pic.twitter.com/tqSig0IzTI
