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! Need cute baby horses in your life 24/7? Check out the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame’s Foal Patrol for livestreams from some of the top farms in the 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!
